Why do I keep seeing people on here 'dissing' on the soldiers in Iraq?

Question

WTF is up with that? Please help me understand....and this is coming from a wife of a soldier with whom I did not get to see for TWO YEARS because he was over there....and my little brother was over there, too! Aren't you glad that they are over there instead of YOU? Don't people understand that if it weren't for men and women volunteering to be in the military, that there would be a DRAFT? I garantee if there were a draft....many people would be running to Canada and Mexico! So aren't they glad they don't have to do that??

Answer 1

These people have their head up their ars.. Easy for these whimps to be critical from the comforts of their lazy boy chair. A salute to your husband and many thanks!!!

Answer 2

I feel for you girl, ah the draft, the best thing Bush could do. Anyone that can't show any respect for our fighting men and women deserves no freedom. God Bless America, God Bless the Troops, God Bless the Marine Corp, AND GOD BLESS THE DRAFT THAT IS GOING TO WAKE THIS COUNTRY UP, OOR-AHH, Go in Christ

Answer 3

The reason there is disdain for soldiers is possibly because they volunteer to go kill people who just want to be left alone completely. Our soldiers don't have any business there, and if there was a draft, our eager government would see how many people will dodge it and it might open their eyes to the travesty this all is. All soldiers are only machines that the government has control of; they follow commands and are "fixed" if they don't. Anyone soldier that dies is a mere blurb on the 16th page of the NY Times, a faceless and momentary care.

Answer 4

being a vet.of two wars i could go into long stories and shed a little light on your so-called "hero's"but,i'd just be wasting my breath.no matter how well you know the people who go to war,they are not the people you know when they are there and you are here.
the truth of the story is we fired blindly and never knew the exact direction of our firing,we never knew how many innocent women and children were killed by our fire.we were told not to let it bother us,we were told all of them were the enemy and we were just killing trash.
does your husband or your brother have trouble sleeping?if they don't,,thats why they deserve to be "dissed".anyone proud of taking another human life reguardless of reason,doesn't deserve to called a human being.human being do not kill.animals kill.but at least animals kill for survival,not for fun or a paycheck.we had no business in iraq.is that your husbands or your brothers fault?no!i am calling them less than human?maybe.am i less than human?yes.am i proud?no!do i still have nightmares?yes.
your husband and brother did what they had to do,i doubt if they are proud of it,if they were forced to kill.but,i imagine they are proud of their country.
you'll have to forgive,i have problems talking about this.i may seem harsh but the wars i fought in were nam/korea.when i go back,my mind clouds.i hope your hus/bro,do not suffer as i have .at least they didn't come to protestors who spit in their faces while carrying signs calling them baby killers.

Answer 5

I am a gulf war vet (E-5, 91A, 93rd Evac Hospital) My nephew is in Iraq now. We disagree 100% with the lying thief in command Bush. But we would never disrespect our fellow soldiers or country. These right-wing fascists that say Democrats disrespect the soldiers are full of sshhit. This war is based on greed and lies, that is fact. It is an UNJUST war. That doesn't mean we disrespect any soldiers, we ARE soldiers. Democrats are mad because the war is a lie and it is costing BILLIONS of dollars and thousands of US soldiers lies. Of course Haliburton is making millions on it too. If right-wing nerds love the war so much, THEY should go volunteer. AND shut up. They're too busy golfing though. And who is "dissing" soldiers anyway?
Also, no one has used the term "diss" in years, especially if your white.

Answer 6

Who talks negative about the military men?? I think alot of people mistake dislike for GWB as they don't like or are downing the military!!!! They are doing the mission they were commanded to do..

Answer 7

Don't try to make this an issue about the soldiers. Everyone wants the soldiers to be safe at home. You know all along that everyone is dissing Bush, not the troops.

Answer 8

I haven't seen anyone talking badly about the soldiers in Iraq. I think most people have sympathy for the soldiers. It's the policies that have all of you in the Middle East that are upsetting.

I think the problem arises because supporters of the War think people who are against the war shouldn't speak out against it.

If I don't believe in the War I am not going to feel guilty about supporting a war nor will I go out of my way to coddle the service people.

Answer 9

don't read the postings. they are "dissing" on the soldiers on television also. FYI- they will give him leave .....my friends husband had leave after 6 months. we are not in the Vietnam war where the max time away from family was a year.

Answer 10

1. They are to selfish to enlist to help others keep their freedom.
2. They hate anyone who does.
3. They aren't smart enough to pass the MAPS testing.
4. All of the above.

Answer 11

Dissing... how ignorant. Many "diss" the soldiers due to idiotic reasons, for those who do not know what idiot means, it means unacknowledged. People criticize the soldiers, when infact they truly mean to do so towards the government or the Bush administration and their retarded standards.
