Why don't the Democrats let our boys and girls fight???

Question

Not funding the war and recricting our troops is unpatriotic... that is why we lost Veitnam ....

Answer 1

Because they have forgotten 9/11.


Our way of life changed that day, and they can't admit that. That and the its the "cool" position to be in right now.

They fail to see that the only reason we have not had more terrorist attacks on American soil is we're fighting over there. Bring the troops home and the fight will come with it.

Remember that the US military cannot act at home unless Congress enacts the Posse Commitatus (?sp) - and they won't so the only protection you will have if they come home is the same as you have now - police!

Answer 2

How is that unpatriotic when it is the will of the majority of Americans, perhaps the lack or patriotism comes in when people in a position of power abuse it and forget that it is supposed to be a government by the people for the people... not one political party or ideology! Was bringing the troops back from Vietnam unpatriotic? or are people happy thousands more didn't die fighting an enemy they could not defeat with soldiers who did not sign up to be there... Do I think we should do good in Iraq so those that died do not die in vain, yes, but I think it takes a better strategy to do that. And if we stay in Iraq forever there death will still be in vain. SO we have to do something and Bush isn't listening so they have to find a way to get him to talk to them, and well money talks!

Answer 3

The Democrats have not saidthat they will stop funding for the troops. In fact, many of them have said that they will continue to fund thetroops that are still there. They will, however, not fund additional troops. So, it comes back to the President, he will have enough funds to keep the troops he has now or he can scale back on their protection and weaponry to finance additional troops.

This would not have happened if the President hadn't bungled the war to begin with and again if he had listened to the American public and began to implement the policies of the Iraq study group.

As for unpatriotic, every other "coalition" member restricts their troop involvement and their funding. Does that make them unpatriotic?

Answer 4

Your question is infantile. Recricting? You are wrong on every aspect of your question........ where to start?
1. Democrats (and the majority of the country) have tried to end our involvement in Iraq through our president, but he doesn't listen to the American people.
2. Not sending money is the only recourse Congress is left with, in light of the president's disregard for the people's wishes.
3. Unpatriotic? I am so sick of uninformed people touting the word unpatriotic simply because they disagree with your viewpoint. This country was found on the principle of questioning your government and not following blindly the president's whims. I am a combat veteran that does not happen to share the ideology of George W., and yet I feel my spilt blood makes me more patriotic than his non-reporting National guard past proves him to be.
4. Vietnam was lost due to numerous reasons. The biggest similarity here is that the government tried to run that war instead of allowing those most competent (the military) to do so.

Answer 5

Not funding the war is not unpatriotic. Patrioticism at its purest form is the will of the people. The Democrats have clearly shown that by opposing Iraq they are representing the will of a majority of Americans and so are patriotic. Your latest Senate elections clearly showed this.

You lost Vietnam because of poorly trained and unmotivated conscripted troops, no clear rules of engagements or consistent strategy and the alienation of the Vietnamese locals. These problems all had their route cause in the involuntary recruitment of Amercian youth.

If you're so keen on recruitment and fighting are you a veteran of any of your countries foreign policy adventures?

And before you launch into a ill-informed rant I'd like to point out that I'm an ex-British infantry officer with a degree in military history, and am a veteran of Northern Ireland and Afghanistan (Twice).
