Why do conservatives say they support our troops when they send them off to die in wars based on lies?

Answer 1

You know, i have been wondering about that for a long time?

Now if you say no war? you'll be quickly accused of not supporting the troops? But if one of the troops, gets injured, or have some problems and becomes a homeless? wow, don't ask them for help, they like to conserve their money? and i wont mention the stuff they will say about the homeless guy?

I am perplexed?

My Best Regards.

Answer 2

Most people believed the war was justified at the time of the vote. Some thought the vote would not lead to an occupation of Iraq. Now that we have stirred up the hornets nest and destroyed much of the infrastructure in Bahgdad, how can we just leave like it never happened?

My problem with the "support the troops" theme is that it seems as if we are just supposed to be like cheerleaders instead of given the opportunity to actually contribute to the war effort. Unless people feel the urge to enlist, it boils down to either keeping quiet or putting a magnet on the car for those who either can't enlist or who have no family/friends who have enlisted.

Normally, we would have higher taxes, or there would be more people we actually know involved in the conflict. What we have are deaths, debt, and no end in sight. The whole thing was poorly handled and few on either side of the fence would deny that at this point.

Answer 3

you're thoroughly stunning. Republicans under no circumstances seem at issues from that attitude and that's their significant downfall. the government would not like while human beings have independant techniques. i think of truly some the terrible issues that are happening in iraq stunning now we aren't being counseled approximately. If sufficient human beings agreed with this then shall we protest and shake the white domicile up somewhat. If which could take place than the government would atleast understand that some human beings question their motives. interior the Nineteen Sixties the revolutionaries made a great result letting the international understand that giving peace a huge gamble could no longer harm. How could absolutely everyone be adversarial to that? interior the U.S. peace is under no circumstances prevalent as an option to former and modern-day commandor and cheif's, specifically Nixon and G.W. Bush. we choose a President that Cares approximately individuals and recuperating united statesa..

Answer 4

Supporting our troops does not mean you have to support the war. They should be shown our support by being brought home to their own country. Iraq hates the U.S. and our troops are dying just to boost the ego of an elitist, despotic, and cowardly moron. The entire country of Iraq is not worth one American life. Even conservatives are starting to jump ship on this ridiculous war. Bush would have us believe that those of us who disagree with the war are unpatriotic, but this simply is a reprehensible and deliberate distortion of the truth. We should not have a Commander In Chief who places so little value on a soldier's life. Oh, by the way, I"M NOT A LIBERAL! And I do not support our nation's enemies. I can be a conservative and still disagree with whomever I choose. Most of the people who contribute answers here seem to enjoy throwing around insults more than trying to give intellegent, informed responses. Give your own opinion and allow others to give theirs without calling them stupid or un-American. God bless the U.S.A. and God be with all our enlisted people.

Answer 5

what lies are you talking about? the wmd's? well, we haven't found nukes yet, but who's to say they didn't end up in Iran?
you libs say bush lied but he went with the intel he had at the time. now the intel says Iran has no nuke program and you libs buy into it. which way do you want it? you either trust the intel or you don't. libs just hate bush so much he can't and will never do anything right in your eyes.as far as supporting the troops.. libs say they support the troops then try to cut their funding so our troops are over there fighting with sticks and eating peanut butter sandwiches. conservatives love our troops and want them to have every thing they need!!!!! so you go drink more koolaid and cast your vote for helliary.
GOOOOOOOO BUSH!!!!!! GREAT MAN

Answer 6

Whose lie was it? Our troops must think they are fighting a correct war as they continue to re-enlist. I know of many who have done more than 3 tours, and feel this is right and just to give freedom to those who have never known anything but oppression, and death under a fearless dictator.

These are men and women fighting the battles of decency, they are not children as some would allude to. Our service people are wonderful Men and Women!

Answer 7

Lies are deliberate attempts to deceive. Ask Bill and Hill. I don't believe there was a deliberate attempt to deceive just to go to war when so many others agreed with the assessments. Stay away from those radical left wing sites. They will really mess up your thinking.

Answer 8

Worse, to me, is the lip service about supporting troops, and then deliberately micromanaging them and under-supplying them with troops and equipment, under the declaration that "Shock & Awe" is a "new kind of war."

Add: You know, this question will likely be deleted because of the report-monkeys...

Answer 9

The war was based on INTELLIGENCE REPORTS...you know...from agencies such as the one that says Iran does not have a nuclear program. Kinda shows that intelligence reports are fallible, doesn't it. And since they are the agencies the President, Cabinet, AND both sides of Congress rely on for making their decisions, that, my friend, is not a lie...It is making the best decision you can with the information you have.

Answer 10

If they aren't going to fight, why have them in the first place. Oh, and your entire question is a lie in that it wasn't just conservatives who sent them, it was CONGRESS IE: the American people.
