How many more US soldiers will die if the Democrats pull funding?

Question

John Kerry voted down a bill to give our soldiers more armor. Why do the Democrats think it is a good idea to use our soldiers as pawns?

Answer 1

Then, they can blame the deaths on Bush. The demorats don't really give a ratsass about the troops. They just want POWER, and lots of it. Kerry the Coward should have been shot for deserting his post in VietNam. (Read the book, "Unfit For Command.). YBIC

Answer 2

If the only way to stop that war is to pull funding, that is the way it will be. When they did that during the Vietnam mess, they had 60 days to remove soldiers and equipment from Vietnam and then the money would stop coming. This can be avoided if that madman in the White House would take action. He needs to do what the American public mandated in the November election - that is to bring our troops home NOW.

When Congress cuts off funding, there will be a time frame for removing the troops - and it will be done.

Answer 3

Hellooooo, the Democrats are not trying to pull funding from our soldiers. They are trying to get our soldiers out of harm's way. John Kerry did not vote against more armor for our troops. he voted against a bill that would have provided substandard armor.

Answer 4

John Kerry DID NOT vote down a bill to give soldiers more armor. That's a bald-faced lie!

Answer 5

Gee I don't know Norm, how many have died WITH funding? The Republicans were in the MAJORITY of congress when that vote took place.

... and the bill was not entitled "The Troop Armor Appropriation Bill"

it was the blank check permission for Bush to go to war that congress is thinking of repealing now

Answer 6

If the Democrats are treating the soldiers as pawns then thats a hundred times more respect than what the Republicans are offering them

Answer 7

You ask a good question, different than that, consistent with history, we don't understand that the democrats will pull the troops out. What all of us understand is that, even in the protection tension, there is disagreement as to what to do next. i'd help what the protection tension consensus is to do next, no count if that be extra or much less troops. They understand extra acceptable than all of us understand to no count if the conflict is going to be lost or gained.

Answer 8

well i dont have any political preference but it is to my understanding that the democrat way is to get as many troops out alive as soon as possible. and either way it cant be any more that are dying now. i know three, personally, that died on the same day last month. carbomb. armor isnt gonna stop that. still i wish they would come home.

Answer 9

Do you have a source for the Kerry vote? Are we supposed to accept this as fact from a brainwashed partisan?

Answer 10

so they can further their socialist agenda, and eventually claim we cant protect ourselves, thus paving the way for united nations troops to be based in america, thus basing the assumption that americans will have to pay taxes to the united nations, thereby letting the us gov't take orders eventually from the rest of the world in the guise of "helping" us...
