Just a thought, if I was behind something full hearted and believed it to be a fight for our freedom, I would have stayed in the military

why join when you can put a yellow ribbon and your SUV and call it patriotism?

My dad is an previous college Democrat which interprets into conservative. My companion's father served military and army and he's a Conservative Republican. My brother-in-regulation served interior the army and he's likewise a Conservative Republican. as properly, I certainly have observed a unit out of the thirteenth it is presently serving in Iraq. for this reason, i think of I certainly have each precise to evangelise.

I'm a conservative republican and so is my husband. Together we made the decision for him to join the military. I am a Key Volunteer (for the Marine Corps) and I help support the spouses/families while the military member is deployed.
But I believe that you can fully support a cause without actually having to serve.
I support a cure for HIV/Aids. Yet I don't have HIV/Aids.

Most of us already have served or cannot serve for medical reasons.
The fact that the majority of the military is Republican should advise you that your entire premise is based on hot air.
And I seriously doubt that you would ever 'fight for our freedom.' From your post it sounds like the only things you would be willing to fight for is your own political opinions - which means that the military does not need you.

i believe in national security and supporting our troops , not supprting the war is not supporting our troops due to the troops themselves support the war and that is the bottom line . Although this is an exellent tactic of the secualr progressives in an attempt to demoralize conservatives , i will give you credit for brainwashing the weak minded .
i also support and am passionate about being pro life but i don't go around blowing up abortion clinics
i also support and am passionate about childrens education but do not have a degree for teaching

I have 4 family members that are marines and serving in Iraq right now. I enlisted, but could not pass the physical because I have too much of a hearing loss, due to loud music. So instead, I decided to persue a career in engineering. So you can't sit there and tell me what I should be doing if I support the war.

Every physically able American male should be required to serve a minimum of 2 years active duty in a branch of the Government's choosing. Voluntary service for females in non-combat roles.

My family has done it's share in Iraq. Your share, too, to tell the truth.
You're welcome.
So, according to your "logic" - since I don't have kids, I'm not supposed to have an opinion on abortion? Or pedophiles?
And you *do* realize, don't you, that most of the military *are* Republicans? But why bother with facts - they just ruin your partisan rant...

Most conservative republicans, like myself, have been in the military and served during a war.
Those experiences tend to make you understand what we are fighting for, and that it is worth fighting for, and that makes you a conservative.

Shouldn't asking intelligent questions require some form of higher education?
Wait, you didn't ask an intelligent question.
*Yawn* you and your ilk have asked these same questions before... find a new playlist this one is tired.
I doubt you served, odds are you could not cut it and now pretend to have this incredible insight in to the military.
Sorry junior, Life time of KP is not insight. its just sad.

Well for the simple FACT that the majority of the Military votes Republican makes your question irrelevant.
