I am an uneducated American who supports the war for no good reason (country, house)

It's bill, but I'll leave your owning for the world to see. The funniest thing about it is two weeks ago he was running around saying the opposite. So yeah speaking of trend-hopping...

I have never tried to downplay any of it. A war is a terrible thing. Every life lost causes tears. I support this war for the reasons I have already stated. Every Soldier, Sailor, Marine and Airman over there is my brother or sister. I have had the honor of standing next to them through good and bad. I have cried for American service members I have never met and, sadly, never will. When I talk to them, the vast majority know they are doing the right thing, yet their lives are used as a statistic against the cause they believe in.

The point I want to make with my last post is that the stories we get to see on the news do not always show the entire truth. Its easy to believe that all soldiers are doing bad things when the media won't show the good. Of course the good outweighs the bad but we never get to see it. Then again this off topic, so whatever.

I don't think we're being disrespectul to the troops by opposing the war, they did die for this country and deserve our respect, but I believe they were mislead and that they died because of lies. We shouldn't let more people die for a war with no just cause.

If this had been quick and easy, the country would not be as opposed as they are now. To bad MOUT isn't quick or easy. Read toward the end of the article I posted last and you can gain a better understanding of an expected time line.
Most people who oppose the war are not disrespecting the troops. However, I have seen protests in Portland with stuffed soldiers being beaten. I have seen protests saying that soldiers are murderers. Every time a soldier sees a sign saying they are wrong, their morale lowers.

EDIT:
I am not saying that opposing the war means that you oppose the the troops. It is a matter of how you choose to show your opposition to the war. Of course, if you choose to oppose the troops, that is also your choice.

I support our troops, and I think now we should support them by getting them the hell out of Iraq.

Okay re-opened.

I wish I was a fat fucktard with nothing better to do than stalk and spam a music forum. Ruining a perfectly good debate with general jackassness. Go do something productive like shoving a fork in your eye.

Man. This guy was relentless.

that is true. the . . . means that there is more to the quote that isn't included. i did make sure to say that i quoted an opinion piece.

haha army people. Your first post is about stuff that happened before the first war we had there. Should we have handled it differently? We are not leaving until iraq is completely liberated?? WE are not completely liberated. Reading your arguments I wonder if you would support war with North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, China? where do u draw the line? If I was in the army and didn't support the war I would feel really weird....that would be tough. stay safe
