Back From Iraq?

Question

I just got back from iraq, usmc. I have never got such a slap in the face the moment i came back! what is with u ppl. I come back and the only thing ppl are worried about is when we r going to leave instead of finishing a job. does that make any sense? and u protesters who protest the war yet have the nerve to say u support us (me)!!!!! f*** you! dont support me when u dont support what im doing. Why do u ppl (not all) act so disrespectful?

Natili u r an uneducated person, just cuz u kill one man doesnt mean its over, get ur brain checked

not to get political, but wat has bush done..? he is saving ur *** whether u like it or not!!

Answer 1

Thanks for serving, bud.

Never mind the shrill trolls like natalie3x3, who protest you proudly doing the job you signed up for. There is just no pleasing some people, and if nothing else, you fought so she could spout her ignorant pap all over the internet.

It's not worth much for me to read it, but I'm sure all these passive war protestor types would rather be promised peace and be pacified than recognize that no change has ever been made without sacrafice.

If anyone in their right mind actually thought that ignoring 9-11 after previous attempts on the WTC, never mind what happened to the U.S.S. Cole, was a good idea, maybe they'd have a leg to stand on when it came to taking soldiers for granted.

Proudly wear your uniform, because the majority of America stands with you. Give those stupid morans the finger as you drive by their protests.

"We support the soldiers not the war" is utter bullshiate. That's like saying you respect cops, but not the law. It's a stupid play on words that very few people buy.

Again, thanks for serving our country. And be vocal against these idiots. Often. Loudly.

Answer 2

I support you fully! Don't worry, while the masses seem to be mindlessly believing what the media tells them to there are still people out there that respect and admire your service to this great country. My opinion, they're cowards, if men like you did'nt keep them free they would not be. Then they have the nerve to complain about it. It is truly a great thing that some people as yourself understand that some things are greater than our own personal safety.
JOHN STUART MILL:
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
I respect and admire you, for all you have done to protect and serve this country. You're right, if we leave now when the job isn't done, then wouldn't it have all been in vain? In fact, I think we need to go into Iran.
I really hope that knowing at least that one person honors you're courage and sacrifice, gives you some measure of reassurence.

In war there is no substitute for victory.
Douglas MacArthur

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

Wait! The guy that said two months ago you asked about recruitment, and only three weeks ago you were in colledge? Im sure you weren't in Iraq then, unless this is your brother/sisters account?

Answer 3

THANK YOU for your service Sir, & Welcome Home. .....i am so very sorry to see what some people are saying & doing, & it seems that the media & the press play up all the negativity & downplay (or don't even report) anything that is positive. I realize things are really ruff over there (we've got a couple of friends that have rotated twice now)....& while they have told us about how the kids can go to school & getting street markets open in certain areas, the radicals, & insurgents & deaths squads are reeking havoc *(of course that is the headlines)....Be proud of yourself & your service to this Great Country...... I am very proud of my family that has served this country, & had many family members that served in Vietnam & Korea, both were unpopular & had many dissenting opinions. Don't let it get you down. Again, THANK YOU SIR for your sacrifice, the sacrifice of your family & your comrades, it is now as it has been since the creation of this country....during times of crisis, when our country is in need, it is those who step forward and answer the call of duty, no matter how difficult - it is those that make this country what it is - i hope & pray that we never forget that. Our country owes you a debt of gratitude that can never be truly paid in full......God Bless You Sir.

Answer 4

I am sure that you know more about what is going on in Iraq than the idiots in the streets protesting the work you have been doing. Walk Proud! You've shown that you're a capable human being. Unfortunately, here in the US, the peacenik disease is on the loose. The wasted Hollywood celebrities are leading the country again.

I sure do not believe that anyone has the right to harass veterans, but they're starting to do it again. Just be forewarned. I'd like the right to slap those slobbering rude people who think their greatest right is to whine about peace,
when they are so ignorant of life.

Maybe Michael Savage had it right talking about feeding little boys plant estrogens and they go all limp and cry-baby for life.

Thanks for your service, a million times over, thanks!!! My nephew should be out of Ramadi soon. Others will still be serving there, until these fools cut off the funding, like they did in Vietnam. The US military did not lose the war in Vietnam, the Democrat congress cut the funding for the South Vietnamese government and allowed our allies to be butchered.

Answer 5

Thank you for serving and God bless you. Please understand that there are plenty of Americans out there who support you and what you do. Some Americans have short memories and also believe that everything should be resolved quickly, just like it is on TV. Life doesn't work that way.

Yes, Bush is low in the poll ratings. But those ratings measure Bush's handling of the war, not necessarily the war itself.

Semper Fi!

Answer 6

Welcome home, hold your head up and be proud. You made a choice to serve your country and to some ppl that`s like choosing a career in murder. They just don`t understand that the military is about more than fighting, it`s also about saving lives and helping to rebuild what has been destroyed. Don`t let the protesters get you down, if they knew what they were talking about, they would come up to you and thank you for serving our country. Semper Fi, Marine.

Answer 7

Lordie...don't come to Yahoo Answers for support! The first thing you should be doing when returning from Iraq is going to Disneyland!!!

Now no one is going to support you with that mouth or that attitude. I expect more out of a serviceman!!!

Also, my husband is in Iraq and I have never heard him speak like you. He doesn't give a rat's butt what anyone thinks about him or what he is doing! He is proud of himself and I am of him and that's all that matters!

Answer 8

Answer 9

Two months ago you wanted to know if you needed your real birth certificate for MEPS and now you've been deployed and come home already? That was fast.....

Answer 10
