Actually, if you want to support the troops, may I suggest a recurring donation to the USO?Originally Posted by gabosaurus
Please. Can you specify and refute the alleged bullshit? Inquiring minds want to know.Right-wing bullsh*t is always entertaining.
Recon by fire and suppression by grid square? Awesome.

That is probably one of the dumbest things you've said so far.

Oh Hell no. Short-sighted liberals don't even pretend to have any notion of wanting a win. That doesn't support their rhetoric for the past 3 years.
What they don't realize is they're just setting themsleves up to repeat history, and we all know WHO in the long run took the blame for Vietnam, don't we? That would be the party that has occupied the White House 12 of the last 39 years.

Why? Sounds pretty true to me.

Troop morale is pretty-much fueled by the same things. Good chow. Mail from home. A bed to sleep in out of the rain and/or cold. Hot water.
Above all, know the cause they serve is just. You take a 20-years-old, give him a loaded weapon and the discretion to take life, in most cases having to react in a split second's time.
Then you have these squirelly jackasses claiming to support them, but ensuring they know you think what they are doing is not just. Doubt causes hesitation and hesitation could mean death.
There is NOTHING relative about THAT. It is the same for anyone who has laced up a pair of boots and sent the bolt home on a live round.

and if a soldier wanted out of a war/that war to end he would consider people trying to make that happen supporting him. It's still all relative.

I take back saying there's hope for you. Not so long as your answer to everything is "it's all relative."
Simply put, no it ain't. That's another one of your dismissive tactics in lieu of a legitimate argument, and in reference to this specific topic, absolute bullshit.

What, specifically, was it you thought sounded true? When you don't quote or provide pointers to whom you are addressing then you look like you are talking to yourself in spite of the duct tape.
Any servicemember in the field wants out, right, fucking, now. Whether you like or dislike his cause isn't relative to his desire to get the fuck back to the world in one piece with his team.
The only thing fucking relative is nepotism and Arkansas cousins.

and if you could follow a debate you could tell.

So far I have seen no debate from you.
Failure to answer a direct question via evasion is a symptom of being a political hack. Seek therapy.

Whatever man. Do you even have a point.
The Ghin Tzu Master
Actually I do. Can you guess what it is?

You disagree with my point that supporting the troops is relative because the individual troops would consider different things as support.
The Ghin Tzu Master
Good. Now we are getting somewhere.
Do you support the troops? Why or why not?
