Answer 1

8.2 million Vietnam Veterans and 25,000 oppose Iraq?
I can personally vouch for the number of Iraq veterans that are for Iraq vs. against (just by ratio of those I work with daily)
West Point Graduates against the war? Lt. Watada maybe?
Who made them Gold Star families?
Military families Speak out (except on Yahoo)
I'm a 5 conflict Veteran ... and I'm for America and Iraq
Operation Homefront? Better check that one again (Operation Homefront provides emergency assistance and morale to our troops, to the families they leave behind, and to wounded warriors when they return home. A nonprofit 501(c)3 founded after September 11, Operation Homefront leads more than 4,000 volunteers in 31 chapters nationwide. Since its inception, Operation Homefront has provided critical assistance to more than 45,000 military families in need. )
Bring them Home Now - well, duh !!!!!

Answer 2

Vietnam Veterans against the war, supported the Viet Cong and the NVA, I don't care what they did in Vietnam, that's treason.
Iraq veterans against the war, that's treason too, they support Al Qaeda and those muslim nutbuckets who would kill us all.
Opposing the war means supporting the enemy.
In the Documentary, the ten thousand day war, they interviewed General Vo Nguyen Giap, the commander of the North Vietnamese Army in the war. He stated that after the tet offensive of 1968, the NVA was thoroughly beaten and planned to sue for peace and get the best terms possible. The war was over and they lost. Then, Walter Cronkite comes out against the war and says that we can not win, and there were the riots and the NVA reassessed their decision and kept fighting and dragged the war out for 7 more years.
They won. That set us back in the cold war with the soviet union.
I'm a Veteran too and those of you opposing the war support a victory for the enemy. That's treason. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Suicide is the most patriotic act you could commit.

Answer 3

by way of fact conflict supporters % to attack the credibility of conflict warring parties via linking help for the conflict with help of the troops. In an analogous way they provide the impact of being for to attack the credibility of conflict warring parties via linking help for the conflict with patriotism. The conflict supporters can not tolerate the situation the place different electorate exercising self sustaining judgement and dare to oppose the conflict. Hermann Goering, a Nazi chief in WW2 pronounced here: "needless to say the person-friendly people do not % conflict; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in united statesa., nor in Germany. that's understood. yet inspite of each and every little thing, that's the leaders of the rustic who be certain coverage, and it rather is often an elementary count to pull the people alongside, whether it rather is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can consistently be dropped on the bidding of the leaders. that's easy. All you need to do is to tell them they're being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for loss of patriotism and exposing the rustic to probability. it rather works the comparable in any united states of america.” greater true words weren't in any respect spoken.

Answer 4

You left out uniformed terrorists, palestinians, communists, traitors and left wing wacos.

They oppose the war as well.

This list also includes those that don't support ANY WAR.

People that eschew violence in any form are a different type of "protester".

So: is your allegation that the war is wrong because all of these people say so?

or is it that ALL WARS are wrong?

Or is it just to be able to tell your grandchildren that you bashed the administration that protects you?

In either case, half of your list disagrees with the other half.

Answer 5

"Republicans" is not an entity in and off itself - it is a political affiliation consisting of people. And any large group of people will never agree on every facet of any agenda - which renders any statement that purports to state that republicans (or democrats) do not support this or that as pretty much painting a large group of individuals with the same brush.

One cannot support this war and simultaneously support the fringe groups that you refer to in your question - perhaps that is because these people are not prone to such hypocritical positions as "supporting the troops but not the war."

Answer 6

Let's see, the war walked down the road and checked people's IDs.

That would be a NO!

I'm not a repub but that crap doesn't make sense.

Answer 7

Well like Neocons say, "you have to support the war to support our troops", so I guess alll those veterans are either "FAKE" veterans, or they don't support our troops.

Not my idea, just another sad GOP talking point that the sheep keep parroting.

Answer 8

Dont put words in my mouth!!! i am a republican and i say what I want to. I dont support Clubs. I support troups.

Answer 9

We support our children who bravely serve. They fill in the details edited out by you and the media, so we must also support the people of Iraq.

Answer 10

Don't you dare portend to speak for what I mean. You are coming to the table unarmed.
