The troops in Iran & Afghanistan
I personally support the troops. I believe in what they stand for. I don’t like the fighting and death and injury and suffering we all experience. But seriously, what else can we do? I know it is very complicated at times. Human nature is what it is. Freedom does not remain as a static entity. We have to keep fighting for it over and over again. I imagine these protesters get "all bent out of shape" because they don’t like war and it’s effects either but they should be thankful that their forefathers fought for them to have the freedom of assembly and speech. Crazy world isn’t it?
RE: The troops in Iran & Afghanistan by LordDilly
The thing that gets me (as an Iraq War vet) is these people have zero chance of going to war, I seriously doubt many of them even know anyone in the military who has been to war, and except for their protesting (which is, of course, voluntary) this war has minimal impact on their lives at all! Yet they must be heard! We all must pay attention to them!! They don’t like this war that affects them almost not at all so, by God, they will be as disruptive as possible because they are right and everyone else is wrong and the hell with 25 million Iraqis they are willing to abandon to death squads and religious tyranny! To hell with the military who have died, let them die for nothing, it’s what they get for being baby killers! The extreme arrogance and smug self-righteousness of these people angers and disgusts me.
