Do liberals really hate American troops?

Answer 1

Always have and always will.

Just ask any soldier/sailor/airmen/marine what the libs think of them. The kindest response libs usually give is that the troops are misguided automons following a morally corrupt and bankrupt government and if the troops had an ounce of morality they would desert the military. I live in Seattle, try wearing your uniform and walking the streets, it's an educational experience to say the least!

Answer 2

You must be some kind of a nut.
We feel sorry for and care about and love our troops, being sent into harm's way for questionable reasons, without enough equipment, and when they come home, veterans' healthcare needs to improve. Only what you call "liberals" are AGAINST the recent practice of making wounded soldiers refund their sign up bonus if they were disabled and had to leave the service before their term was up.
Liberals want our troops back home and well cared for.
We LIBS also see the profit making machine going on in Iraq with companies such as Blackwater, where private "soldiers" are paid more than our troops get, at taxpayer expense, while those connected insiders are getting richer by investing in such companies. That's a slap in the face to our troops, but the cons wouldn't criticize that. Cons would probably criticize the gay troops in the army that spoke Arabic, but were kicked out because of sexual orientation.

Answer 3

No.

Don't beleive the rhetoric being bandied about by both sides. Of course their are going to be extremists who believe that the military is evil, but this is not the majority.

What most 'Liberals' seem to be saying is that we can't win so lets not lose anymore American lives. Bring the troops home.

What most 'Conservatives' say is that we can and are winning this war, and to say negative things about our ability to win is undermining the moral and the conviction of our troops while emboldening the enemy.

There si some truth to both sides.

Me, i am of the opinion that we started something with a promise to protect those who would help us, if we left now we would be leaving those that we promised to help, flapping in the wind.

I think we can win, but it is going to take a committed effort, and we can't start screaming about comming home every time the tide may turn against us. If we beleive we can accomplish anything.

Answer 4

Lets see who hate the US troops........... Never heard of the American troop.

- Liberals wanted higher tax to fund the war = supporting the troops with better weapons and medical care

-conservatives wanted to cut tax and cut programs for the returning US soldiers = No money for the troops

SO! who are screwing the troops?

Rush said " God Bless America " while chewing on Viagra and vacationing in the Caribbeans with men

Answer 5

Well, I would just have to say, those that represent the far left whack-jobs do... you need look no further than Mr. Murtha's knee jerk reaction in condemning innocent soldiers of "cold blooded murder" in Iraq, (whom later were exonerated of any wrong doing) and refusing to even acknowledge ever doing so, let alone apologize for his hasty assumptions.That in itself shows nothing but utter contempt.
If you need further proof look at Nancy Pelosi and her obvious move to undermine our operations in Iraq via a resolution condemning Turkey, A critical ally to the US during a critical struggle in the middle east.
Want more? Senator Durban was the first to compare our troops to Nazi's at the onset of the war.
Not enough? Lets take the Democratic party to task as a whole. Constantly threatening to pull funding for our troops that are stuck over there, all the while screaming about Bush's failings in regard to allowing our troops to be ill-equipped and unprepared. WOW!!! talk about hypocrisy, contempt, and/or treason!!!

In regard to those that support the afore mentioned representatives... I think you can place these into two different groups.
Most of them are no more than what Stalin would call "useful idiots". They have no purpose, are ill-informed, and only hate themselves, reflecting that hatred on to whomever is in their path, not just our troops .
As much as I hate to admit it, the remaining numbers of them are only guilty of following blindly like the other useful idiots, but their major problem lies in the fact that their hearts are too big. What I mean by this is that they allow their actions to be controlled by emotion over logic. Never seeing past their noses. No matter what the consequence, these people continue to allow their altruism to override what the rest of us consider common sense.

All in the name of self-righteousness!

Answer 6

Liberals are those who want our troops to come home so they'll no longer be in harm's way. Liberals are those who love this country - and our soldiers - and are outraged that they were conned into believing there was honorable purpose in attacking another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States.
Unfortunately, the Democratic-led Congress is a group of arrogant, incompetent, contemptible, cowardly, corrupt liars that promised to end this 'war' if elected, and - to date - have done nothing to keep that promise.
They remind me of the arrogant, incompetent, contemptible, cowardly, corrupt Republican-led Congress that stood by and watched Bush run rip shod over our Constitution.
They should all rot in an oil-soaked, blood-stained corner of Hell, along with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all their war-mongering friends who see nothing wrong with the killing of 675,000 Iraqis and 3,900 U.S. soldiers just so a handful of wealthy elitists, industrialists, oil barons and power brokers can become wealthier and more powerful. MAY GOD DAMN THEM ALL!!! -RKO- 11/27/07

Answer 7

That may be true for some liberals but lately the Hollywood / far-left radical liberals have openly called soldiers "cowards". I don't think that is what the men and women who keep us safe deserve.

Answer 8

Not at all. I, for one, WAS a US troop. We respect the troops so much we don't want to see them put in harm's way for anything less than an iminent threat to the US.

Afghanistan POSED this threat, which is why you never hear liberals disparaging the invasion of Afghanistan.

Iraq NEVER posed this threat and it is for "other" reasons our fighting men and women are being killed over there, but it is NOT to defend America or Democracy.

Answer 9

God no. Many of us are related to troops or have been in the military.

Answer 10

Of course, half-witted radio hosts say it all the time so it must be true. I hate the troops ALMOST as passionately as I hate my own family, my country, and of course myself

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention I also love terrorists and communists but I haven't figured out which I love more yet. Hopefully I'll never have to choose!
