"When you have the Congress -- particularly the House led by the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi -- doing their level best to achieve defeat, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for you in the military. I don't know why you guys haven't thrown your guns away and said 'To hell with this!' already."

My siblings are in the military, and they don't feel supported by the dems at all because the dems just want to 'cut and run'. It is frustrating for them but they are proud to serve our country nonetheless.

Saw it coming a mile away when the Democrats voted for the war when is was politically correct to do so, and then hamper the war behind the scenes every chance they got. Most Democrats do not have the vision to effectively lead this country. They only care about making race issues worse and stir up class warfare so they get re-elected.

1. she is not trying to achieve defeat
2. if you don't like the way she is doing things then run for office and see if you can do it better, but I doubt you will get any votes.
3. most people in the military are against whats going on in Iraq, I have friends in the military over there that are against it, and they say that bush has handled this all wrong.

Just take it as part of the challenge of modern warfare|
You are not only fighting an enemy *without a uniform,* and who conforms to no classical battle techniques, but the enemy that you are fighting is also *in* your uniform, which in times past, would have been considered the same side|
The times we are living in are interesting like no other|

The way you win a occupation is you get off the land. The troop are just tools of the administration that do as they are told that is their job.

Ummm.....the point of the war was to make sure that Iraq had no WMDs and throw out Saddam. DONE!!! Bush said it himself, Mission Accomplished.

Because being a member of our military, is something to be PROUD of. We are/were the ones that protect ALL of America's freedoms, EVEN the ones that allow you to speak freely.

I think it is because they are bound to the military and can't do anything about it ,though I do agree this war is pointless and is costing too much money and peoples lives.

If we threw our guns away tyranny and martial law would take over.
It's the only thing saving our freedom! We still have the right to defend ourselves from gov't and criminals.

You should immediately go to Iraq to fight side by side with our brave troops to make sure their spirits are always high!
