wouldn't that help the cause?

I am here. Trust me, if you sent everybody that just supported the war, it would be chaos. And, do you really think we need politicians over here? Come on!! Once again, there's a difference between supporting the war and supporting your troops. And, we really don't need that kind of help.

So you believe that because people agree that this war had to be fought that they should be the ones out front with a weapon?
And you think that they like war too don't you?
No one likes war, no one favors war over peace, the soldier most of all.
I retired from the military in 93, I have 5 stints in my heart, I support the troops and the mission, Should I go back on active duty?
Aren't you the lucky one that gets to live in a country where others will fight and die so you can ask silly questions.

There are certain ways that this war is fought and it is much more complicated then just picking up a gun. Not everyone who supports the war is capable of fighting in it.

Girly.... why dont you pick up your sh!t and go experience other places first hand... see how you like it.
Then when you beg to come back, we wont let you since you dont give a sh!t about this country.
Why dont you go think about things a little harder... maybe read a book or two about this countries history. If you still feel the same way, get the hell out!

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who favors war over peace. That being said, some of us do favor victory over defeat.

Then there would be no war. Can you imagine draft dodging Dick Cheney fighting. Its been like this all throughout history. Did Truman fly the plane that dropped the bomb. no. Did FDR ever go to war? no. Did Wilson ever serve and fight? No.
There was an old story dating back to the Christmas Truce in WW1. The Italians and French I believe were at war in the foxholes and the truce started. They had a soccer game and all were having a good time. Then the truce ended. They military command told the troops on both sides to get back to fighting. A couple of them even told the leaders why cant we still play. If you want to continue the war you do it. Your the ones along with the politicians that caused all this. The men were shot. The war continued.

I would go but a little old for it but have done it before during Vietnam. What have you done for this country except use the liberty that the military has gotten and protected since 1775? You are welcome to exercise your First Amendment rights and say what you wish and no one will ever take that away from you because some people actually do something to protect them for you-you are welcome.

If you support the police should you strap on a 38 and a billy club and commandeer a police vehicle? I already served my time. What have you done?

I'm here now doing it. I'd rather President Bush concentrate on running the greatest country on the planet and let us Soldiers worry about kicking some terrorist ***.

For the same reason every American who hates America doesn't pick up their sh*t and leave the country.
PS, I have been over "there".
