Dyaam, Geez, How the hell do you think I can support our troops. Will people buy a patriotic muslim. Hmmm maybe if its a rich muslim. Plus how do you support your troops. Do you guys pray for them. Put a sticker. I just feel lack of results is simply not making me not support anyone. I mean yeah these are young men. I remember when i was out of high school. Will our support make them happy or sad if they find out they were lied to. At that age being lied to really sux. Plus dont you think they choose to go in the Army, while some kids Dream of getting a 2 year contract Top of the line cell phone, they think of well their thoughts. I mean maybe if I had a friend or friends family whose out on duty that would have been easy. But I just feel being a muslim and supporting for the troops doesnt show that I support it. Maybe I should go to like where their families and stuff gather to talk. Yeah thats like going to the dentist. What I am getting at is that support whoever ur

Yes, I buy a patriotic Muslim.
My only point to you is, do you denounce what the al Qaeda terrorists have done, not just on 9/11, but also in Bali, in Spain and in England? You probably do, but too bad many clerics of your faith do not.
As for being 'lied to', the military isn't all young people and they support it.

Don't worry about it! All those who scream on here don't support them either and it starts with Bush!
Bush has cut VA hospitals 2 times, and we are seeing the sad state of affairs our military hospitals are in. Bush asked Congress for $40 Million for the hodpitals! That's nice! His cut to VA hospitals in 2006 was $100 BILLION! But the tax cuts for the rich was and is still in the budget! Don't you think those are wierd priorities for someone who says they support the troops. If I were Rich, I would be too ashamed to even think about taking the cut!
Bush cut widows benefits in 1/2!
Bush tried to cut combat pay!
As the military have contracts with the services, they only mean anything if it is for someone other than the servicemember! He keeps them beyond their contract date, sending many back to Iraq!
For 4 years Bush "Stayed the Course" and made our service men and women target practice in a civil war! 32,544 wounded and 3,455 dead, brought home daily in body bags!
Five years later our military still does not have armored Humvees! More are killed and wounded by IED's than any other means!
You think Bush and most Republicans support the troops? Most don't! Hell, you can't even get them out for a 1 hour parade on Memorial day to honor the dead. They are too busy soaking up booze at a cookout!
A yellow $4.00 magnet made in China from Walmart isn't supporting our troops! I don't even think they still sell them!

100 BILLION VA CUT, YOU TELL ME A YEAR WHEN THEY WERE EVER CLOSE TO EVEN HAVING 100 BILLION TO EVEN CUT 100 BILLION???? I LOVE YOU FAR LEFT LIBERALS THAT TALK WITHOUT INFO, BECAUSE IT PROVES THE POINT THAT THEY HAVE NO GUTS OR STRATEGY.
AS FAR AS PAY, BUSH INCREASED IT BOTH COMBAT AND NOW DEATH BENEFIT IS NOW 400 THOUSAND AND WAS 250 THOUSAND.

Send care packages of items hard for the troops in combat areas to obtain.
Send cards and letters of encouragement and thanks to the troops.
Visit the VA hospitals and offer your services to help make the veterans life a little easier.
Write letters to those politicians who do all they can to harm our troops and express your support for the troops, encouraging them to do the same.
Write letters to those politicians who support our troops and encourage them to continue to do so, explaining how you are behind them 100%.
Offer your hand of fellowship and thanks to the families who have children serving in our armed forces.
These are but just a few of the things we can do.
