I served, it was not fun being in a foxhole protecting a target that would definitely kill me, an sp augmantee, and two nationals, if a Scud hit gee I was there on the first night of the gulf war. We go in scared, but professional and we hopefully come out sorry still scared but alive. The families that have soldiers coming back with this IRAQ attitude are happy to see them and relieved that they are one of the few that come home in one piece. Maybe you should ask do you support the people that put our soldiers being there, and now in other AOR's.

The support for us (them now that I am now retired) has been undeniable. I don't know how many times I had someone say something positive to me and others when we were in uniform in a public place. Even once, when I was with my dad, Vietnam vet, in the Nashville airport, a lady thanked me for my service. My dad stated that would never have happened during his time. There's always a few people who have differing views, but that's life no matter where you go.

The troops deserve our support.
With all the sacrifices they have made by signing up to serve in our military, they chose to live a life that most would have trouble handling. Combat is a frightening idea, but there are those who still saddle up and face the enemy square in the eye, even if they are scared themselves. They have earned the respect so rightfully deserved of any combat veteran.

I respect all our troops, and appreciate their service. It takes a special person to be brave enough to wear the uniform of The United States Military, and to defend our country. Freedom is not free.

As commander of both my local American Legion post and my local Veterans of Foreign Wars post, and as a member of my local Vietnam Veterans of America post and my local Marine Corps League detachment, I certainly do support our returning troops...and I support returning them ALL right now!

It is not the soldier's choice to go to war, but merely his duty to serve. It is the politicians who decide if and when to go to war. So, yeah, I respect anyone who serves in the military, regardless of which war they were in.

Yes. Why wouldn't you respect the people who's job it is to defend our great country? If somebody doesn't have respect for our men in women in uniform, who serve our country, then maybe their in the wrong country.
