Since you support Bush, you must support the war, maybe-maybe not? We'll how would you feel if your son or daughter wanted to join our Military? You might want to check the DOD roster before you answer this one. And by the way, ive had my owm loss in this war. ' So don't think im making light of this'

Bush is a puppet for the wolfowitz doctrine and other high profile secret societies. He is not for the people, he is for corporations, and making money for him and his cronies. Not helping any of use americans. Bush is a good puppet.

Been there, done that, Viet Nam.  The extreme right thinks you can do no wrong and the extremem left thinks you can do no right.  As I looked over the answeres here, just like in American society the majority of people will support you.  A soldier does not have a blank check to do what he wants during a war and is always responsible for what he does.  You state your feelings excellently and it is impossible for those who have never been through a combat experience to know what you are going through in your thoughts and in the actions you have to perfrom during combat.  You must  live with your experiences the rest of your life.  No, it is not easy being a soldier and I pray that you have made the right decisions in your experiences.  I would never judge you and neither should anyone else except God. You sound like the kind of soldier that all of America can be proud of.  Always do the right thing and don't worry about people that want to condemn you, they don't really count.

I've always fully supported President Bush.  I'm a Soldier and I'm proud to have served in Operation Iraqi Freedom.\n\nOh yeah,  BantamRooster68 you're absolutely right man, the liberals don't have the integrity to admit that they were wrong.  Sad that you can't instill some moral values in people like that.

well first off, I am in the USAF and i am stationed in Ramstein, Germany. We are the port between the middle east and the states. All the wounded soldiers come through our hospital before they are sent back to their home bases.\n\nI am not into the whole Republican and Democrat stuff...i don't claim a side. I just want a president who will take care of this country like it is supposed to be and use common sense in the process. I have been in the military for two years and i have not been deployed yet. I was set to deploy next year but I am now pregnant, so that is now on hold until i leave here. There is no definitely answer to if you will deploy or not. It is one of the requirements for when you sign up. All of my coworkers came back alive and well and they were deployed to the middle east. We do our 4 months and then we come home.\n\nNow, it also depends on what branch you go into...most likely if you join the Army or Marines, you are shippin out to the middle east and may be gone for a year or more...all branches deploy but each one has a different priority in the war and the mission is different with each one. \n\ni joined for the benefits and in exchange they are asking for you life...it sucks but the decision is yours. i like the military and when the time comes, i will get deployed, do my job and come home.\n\nLet me know if you need anymore help.

I am currently a military spouse and if I could do it all over again I would have told my husband to just get a job in his major and not the Army.  The Army takes care of us, they have some great benefits probably the best in the world.  But none of that is worth risking your life for.  I'm not anti-Army, I'm just living the life supporting my husband.  We have a 3 year old, and he just came back from a deployment in Dec and possibly will be leaving again within a month.  Imagine a 3-year old asking for his daddy everyday while he is fighting in a senseless "war".  If you can't, it's pure hell.  I don't recommend military life to anyone unless you are single and times are REALLY hard for you financially.  There are alot of sacrifices you have to make in a military environment.  I have some research for you, go and find out the divorce rate for military servicemen, its beyond the means of high.  I think I just told you the reason why!!

Don't listen to the idiots pressing anti Bush propaganda.  If you want to honor the troops overseas speak up for them  You do remember we are fighting in Afghanistan too right?  It isn't only Iraq, remember them on Thanksgiving, while you sit with your family eating until you can't consume one more bite.  Remember them as you talk politics with family and you think you know what is right.  Remember them when you watch your children on Christmas unwrapping their presents.  What we take for granted they are defending and unselfishly pass by so we don't have to.  \n\nStand up and fight for those soldiers waiting to stand trial for doing their jobs, send your thanks to those in the hospitals with missing limbs.  If you live close to a military base contact the base locater and ask how you can help.  Thank them when you see a Veteran.  Stand up for them when others attack, after all they are willing to stand up for you and die for you.\n\nThey need your HONEST support, not some magnet on your trunk.  Speak up for them, write to them, contact your local VFW or American Legion and ask what you could do.  They volunteer to fight and die for this country so others can insult and ridicule them.  Don't turn your backs and help them out.  The holidays are here and they aren't.  \n\nIn response to a few remarks here, killing a liberal or democrat is no solution.  I have been approach by just as many democrats and republicans.  Nobody comes up and says "I'm a republican/ democrat and I support you."  I have only had a few even recognize the fact I am a vet, nevermind the VET plates or sticker on my car.  No one side is better than the other, this isn't about politics it is about what is right and what is wrong, it is about men and women fighting for what they believe not what we demand them to believe.\n\nVeteran-SGT- 4 years service, 2 in the Persian Gulf.

Im thankful for Ft. knox they did all they could do to make it as easy as they could for us during my husbands deployment... No matter what branch all these men and women are HEROS ! I was not aware that there were people who did'nt support our troops ... I just thought it was Bush they did'nt support ! being a "army" wife is very hard!!{ there is no fun and games at war} maybe I should have had my husband Join the airforce so we could not appear to be so dumpy!!! My husband is a hell of a man and Im very proud of what he has done for our country.. HOOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you implying that supporting our troops who are over there is stupid and wrong???  If so, I hope I never meet you face to face.  War, is war, is war.  However, you should support your troops who are over there fighting and dying so that you can spit on them, their memory, their efforts, and their sacrifices.  The least you can do is have a LITTLE faith in the brave men and women  who are fighting so that you can say retarded crap like that.

As a veteran of the first gulf war, I feel I have every right to answer your question with the following statement...\n\nIf this is what you truly believe...put your own butt on the line and enlist. If not, you're no better than Bush and his lackies sending others to die while they use their money and influence to avoid getting their own hands dirty.

I support our Troops one hundred and ten percent.they are doing a thankless job if you believe the press, and as sad as it is there are a lot of sheople the go along with the press.I think the sheople that side with the press is a lower number of Americans than the press wants you to think.people know that the terrorist that your father and the other Troops are fighting want to destroy America and change the American why of life.to me your father and the other Troops near and far are Hero's, and thank you for your sacrifice, it must be hard having your father be so far a way. I wish you and your father the best.\nsincerely  Doug Hackens

this is what I have to say...\n\nFirst..Thank you for fighting for ME and my family\n\nSecond...I am sorry that not everyone is as appreciative as they should be.  I don't think it is really you that they don't support so much as the administration that sent you to war.  \nGod bless you\n\n:-)

Staying in Iraq won't bring those men, who have sacrificed their lives for a war that never should have happened, back. \n\nDespite NATO's investigations Bush started the war and has admitted , "'Oops, maybe it wasn't the right thing to do". \n\nIt's a simple fact, if you make a mistake...and don't correct it....you make another mistake.  I am not willing to sacrifice my sons blood or anyone else's life for a mistake. \n\nCome on ! Wake up ! This, what you call  "job" is a farce. How on earth can you justify killing innocent people on both sides? \n\nIt's not a matter of running away with our tail between the legs...it's a matter of finally waking up and looking the truth in it's face. Not one more innocent young man should die because of  our so called pride. \n\nWould you be willing to die for this war? Would you really? Then what are you waiting for? Go on over....good luck to ja pal.

You are a fine American!!!\nThis war would have been over long ago, if the frigging' Liberals would let us fight it. Our guys have to be afraid every second, not to stay alive but to not make a mistake. How in the hell can you fight a war and be careful. Gen. Murtha has said over and over we are losing. Well if we are it's because of his mouth. And the journalists have to be protected while they are embedded and causes my son and others the utmost danger.

I was active duty Army for ten years. I served all ten years overseas in Korea, Germany, Bosnia and Saudi Arabia. I have shot at people and been shot at in defense of this great nation.\n\nI have been in the National Guard for five years. In addition to my latest deployment to Louisiana for two months helping those citizens recover, I have completed two tours in Iraq. Each time I went, I have had to give up my six figure income to fight for our country and the citizens of Iraq. I have a wife and a 5 and 7 year old boys who sacrifice more than you will ever know. And I am packed and ready to go in case the call comes for a third rotation.\n\nI voted for Bush for Governor of Texas two times. I voted for Bush for President of the United States twice. And my story is not unique - there are hundreds of thousands if not millions who tell the same tale.\n\nSo there goes your theory.\n\nBy the way ... what have YOU done other than "put a 'Support Our Troops' bumper sticker" on YOUR vehicle? Is your support limited to criticizing the Commander-in-Chief on websites? Nice job, Jocko.

When we get so over-extended that bringing back the draft becomes a real possibility. This war or police action is a mess. I would not want my son ( he is nine) risking for a military venture that is this badly planned. I am not sure If George W.  would go to Iraq. Do they serve Jack Daniels there?

I enjoyed my time as a Marine, I miss it and would love to go back but I have a family and cannot leave them for extended periods. If you join the US military you will be gone for extended periods and you will go to war. Since you do not have a spouse the development of your children could be compromised. I would tell you to stay home and raise your kids.
