why don't people realize that bringing all the troops home , is not the same as cutting their funding?

Question

you can fully fund the troops , yet get them out of and close the bases in other countries like germany , england japan korea.

we have no military reason to be there anymore
the libertarians and ron paul, believe in that , but all you hear is that they dont want to fund the military

is it so hard to make that realization ,

ny pearl : i do agree with you ive know a few people that are , and they are the same age as me 40 that means they were born in 67 , there dad was in the air force , how were they able to get through school and not be able to read, they were smart enough but just to lazy and the education system let them down

T: who's the one thats high, you missed the whole point of the question , i never once said anything about iraq and afganistan , i believe we still need to be there , even if the man i support for president doesnt , i dont need to agree with 100% of a mans platform , cause the only ones who do need to do that are usually the uniformed ones and are the ones who are parroting what they herd lol you are one of the reasons we are in the fix that we are in. YOU DONT THINK FOR YOURSELF , AND YOU JUST PROVED IT!

T: i almost want to vote you for best answer so the yahoo world can see what a true yahoo you really are LOL

T:; well thanks for the apoligy and no worries ive had to correct myself also for glancing over questions , but we all see the same questions here over and over from people who really are not looking for answers have a good one

mike you are almost there but the reserves being deactivated would not be a cut but just part of there finishing there call to duty


still looking for a better answer

Bond for being a man with a license to kill , you are off target

Answer 1

Bringing all the troops home, to most people, means only Iraq, not other bases unless in support of Iraq. And cutting funding will be automatic because those those troops are largely Army Reserve and will not be paid when home.

Answer 2

You need to put stop breaking your stuff up and put your piece away for a little while so your head can clear. The last thing we as a country need to do is withdraw our troops and the only place you hear that fudge is on CNN(COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK). You also might hear the same retoric repeated from your friends when you guys all gather around in a circle to relax but come on, you guys are just repeating what you heard.

This is a war on terrorism. Unfortunately we have a weak leader but we do need to be there and end the war there. Furthermore we should send troops into Iran and stomp out the enemy there. Terrorism has been on the decline for years now, even though there are a lot more groups they are smaller and less organized. We now need to continue helping Iraq form a stable government(before we leave) and focus a lot more energy somewhere else sense the enemy has changed directions.
Do we not remember that when this country was started that it took this country 13 years for all of the colonies to sign the declaration of independence. We werent rattified as a country until 1789 even though we celebrate our indepedece in 1776. All im point out is there are a lot of things that go into putting a stable government together and it is not done overnight. Our troops are there for the protection of thr Iraqi people-no matter what your liberal politicians tell you. If we were to pull out now, the government is so weak that the terrorist could walk in and take over and then the war would really be a failure and they could always and forever blame it on the conservatives. That is why Democrats want to pull out, it will guarantee failure and increase their chance of re-election. Who would ever want a guarantee on failure.
The forward move to Iran would let the terrorist know we arent backing down and that until we find the heart of them all , we wont stop. We wont forget 911. Or have you already. This also lessens the chance that another attack will happen on American soil. If we back down the terrorist feel we are letting are guard down and they can attack. Is that what you want.

YOUR RIGHT DUDE, I TOTALLY MISREAD YOUR QUESTION. I READ YOUR QUESTION AND NOT THE ADDED DETAILS-I WOULDNT KNOW NOW WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THE SUBJECT. GOOD DAY AND PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGY.

Answer 3

i see the pro war as 2 camps the corporate elitist who are making money off it via haliburton etc and those brainwashed into thinking we are supported troops by letting them die in that mess. There is a chance for a libertarian/liberial alliance to force both parties ( cause the domocrats have talked but not acted as usual ) to get us out this quagmire which even the draft dodging knuckle head admits is vietinam repeated

Answer 4

We may be a rich country, but the majority of us are sure a bunch of dumb @$$'s.
