Why don't people see that it is Politicians that have put this country into waring areas and not the soldiers themselves? To take your disaproval of the war out on soldiers is attacking to wrong party. How are they going to feel about soldiers when the US gets attacked and soldiers are they to fight - I would think that they would be singing a different song. Don't they realize that because of soldiers they are able to voice their oppinion.

It Is The Soldier
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
Charles Michael Province, U.S. Army

True...the soldiers are just doing their job. They have a boss just like anyone else...except if they refuse to do their job the punishment is far greater than just getting fired. Without our complete "VOLUNTEER" military this country would be so vulnerable. It is because of our men and women in our armed forces that we live with our freedoms and liberties. I thank God for those that serve and those of our past that paid the ultimate price in defending our great nation. God bless!

Well, I did not invite Arab terrorist's to visit us on a sunny and pleasant September morning six and a half years ago. In fact, I suggested we hit them with no restraints for years before. I never got listened to. So, I expect I was stupid, for suggesting that. My father even thought assinating Khomini in France before he came back to Iran would have been a good idea. So am I American or what? With family here that goes back to the 1640's? I am just talkijng common sense.

What kind of an animal are you for making the statement that the people are taking it out of the troops for the people's disapproval of the invasion and war in Iraq? All you are doing here is pitting one against the other when the whole blame should be credited to the original loyal Bushie and his loyal Bushies, like you! http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Daily_Show_defines_term_loyal_bushie_0321.html

politicians have their noses so stuck up in the air that they have no clue what is going on on the earth, so they don't realize they wouldn't have the priviledge of being douscebags if it weren't for our soldiers.
