'Supporting The Troops'

[LiberalNation]

Supporting the troops is relative. I support any troops I know and like. I am gratefull for people who will join the military and put their lives on the line for our country. Do I support their current mission in iraq, no I think we should get out of the mess. Do I wish them harm over there or blame them for things not working out to our advantage, no. Would I support keeping them over there any longer regardless of individual troops opinion, no.

How? Please give tangible examples of what you do to support the troops "you know and like".

The sad thing is that even those troops you don't "know and like" will still be willing to give their life to keep you free so you can still spew your hatred.

What a childish thing to say - "I support any troops I know and like".

Just fact that you tend to "support" people ya know more over strangers.

So, if you see a retired vet sitting at a donation table, do you wander up and ask him what troops you're supporting before you hand over any donation? Or, do you just ignore them completely, because you don't recognize them?

I understand what you're getting at, and I agree. It is easier and more natural to empathize with someone you know personally than someone you don't know personally. When we make that kind of connection, we tend to "support" those people more than those we don't personally know. At least, that's what I thought you were trying to get across....

Since when do the Bush apologists care about the troops? They just enjoy seeing people getting killed.

Yes it was.

you could also say I support all the troops by paying taxes. Since those taxes fund their paychecks.

I would rather support the troops by bringing them home.
Bush apologists support the troops by sending more of them into harms way, where some end up like this:

Thank you Dubya. I am sure the families thank you as well.

Hey Retard! Here's a news flash.... FOLKS WHO JOIN THE MILITARY - IT'S THEIR JOB TO GO TO WAR! THEY ARE TRAINED FOR IT!!

By your "logic" we should also be "pulling the cops out" and "pulling the Firefighters out" - after all, this country loses some of them "in combat" every single year...

Additionally, if you cared so much about our "troops" - howcome you and other retards like you haven't been saying "lets pull our troops out of the Military Bases throughout our country" - as we have some die every year in training exercises... But I suppose a few dying every year doesn't matter to the ilks of you - it's only when we get into a tough battle that all of a sudden you act as if you care what happens to our soldiers - dying in training exercises or otherwise...

Good point. No matter how much any one of us may disapprove of this war, we're still supporting the troops through our taxes.

If you believe that your taxes somehow prove your support of the troops by proxy.. then that also means you support the war - after all your tax dollars are helping to fund it...

Feel free to withhold your taxes and see how far your protest gets you.

What an incledibly ignorant thing to say. But not surprising coming from your dumb ass. Tho I honestly would feel no remorse seeing you bite the bullet.

Idle curiousity...but.. What taxes do you pay? Even if you HAVE a job (which I don't remember you saying you do), you're under 18, and in school. Everything you pay in so-called taxes, you get back.

lol then the government can support you instead of you supporting it.
