RE: The troops in Iran & Afghanistan
The thing that gets me (as an Iraq War vet) is these people have zero chance of going to war...
Tell me, the people that currently know the most about the War, your former comrades, are they even allowed to criticize the War publicly? Not really, right?
I seriously doubt many of them even know anyone in the military who has been to war...
The anti-war protesters I know go to lectures and events where they meet anti-war veterans and anti-war people who have been to Iraq during the War. They get to hear from extremely biased people (sure), through their own biased colored glasses (I'll give you that one too), but that doesn't mean this makes them completely ignorant about the situation there or completely ignorant about the needs of the American soldiers or the Iraqis.
To hell with the military who have died, let them die for nothing
Does this mean you would have supported the anti-war protesters if they had been able to stop the Iraq War from the get go? They would have saved many American military lives if they had succeeded then.
