Do you support our troops?

Yes, I support our troops.\nI think the invasion of Iraq was a horrible mistake, but that certainly is not the fault of the troops.\nVery interesting points you make, although the rationing of resources I feel would be unnecessary.\nI would agree with your other two suggestions however.

if there are people out there who dont support our troops should be shot for treason...ok maybe thats a little harsh but i hold our troops in the highest repect...i feel like dirt compared to them and id give anything to help their situations over seas....it doesnt matter if you support bush or the war on terror....fuck the cause but stand by our men and women in uniform who signed on for a job and have no choice but to follow their leader and do what they were trained to do...i love all of you and watch your asses and keep your fuckin heads low out there and GET HOME SAFELY to this wonderful homeland we call AMERICA...we need to remember our history and the men who've died to allow us to live and prosper the way we do...yes we are in some rough times but were AMERICANS for christsake and we will make it out on top... GOD BLESS THE USA AND OUR TROOPS  WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I believe our troops are performing their mission well they are securing the streets while providing humanitarian aide.  I am not sure if I agree with the mission.  I think that we are in a position much like Vietnam where are troops are not being allowed to win the war. I understand that we don't want to be inhumane but this is a war we are fighting - let them do whatever is necessary to win so they can come home.

Great question, Alex.\n\nI think most Americana's would.  I know that I would, for sure.  But then I believe that if my country is at war, I need to stand behind the troops and my president.  It doesn't really matter if I agree or not, I still need to be supportive. \n\n\nopen4one---LMAO!

Personally, I support the troops and believe in our goals and objectives. That's not to say that there aren't things that should have been done better, though (of course).\n\nBut that's just me. Supporting the troops isn't a political statement. They're just people, like you and me. Support for them is our duty as Americans (those of us who are), because they literally were sent into harm's way in our name; it has nothing to do with support for the Administration or the war.

I'm a former Marine too. Semper Fi.\n\nTo answer your question I don't think there's anyone who doesn't honestly support our troops. What they don't support is the Bu11sh!t war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even your average Joe knows that 15 of the 19 Sept 11th hijackers were from Saudi. So why aren't we "liberating" Saudi from all of that oil?\n\nJoking aside. Not everyone is going to support the war, and it's a logical fallacy to suggest as the Conservatives have that one cannot support the troops and NOT support the president's war on Iraq at the same time. It's all or nothing with these folks. To support the troops one must support the war, that's the warmongering ideology. They allow no room for dissent.\n\nWell, obviously anyone can put 100% support behind the troops and not support our illegal war in Iraq. In fact it's my opinion that not requesting Congress to end our involvement in Iraq and bring our boys home sooner than later is a disservice to our men and women in uniform. But that's just my opinion.\n\n__________\n\nAfter reading the neocon's answer at the bottom (the guy who stupidly and typically quoted Fox News - Please!), I felt that I needed to provide a few details he conveniently neglected to share.\n\nAbsolutely NO weapons of Mass destruction have been recovered from Iraq. What has been found, however, are the *remains* of weapons programs that existed pre-first gulf war. \n\nI would also like to point out that Chemical and Bio weapons have a maximum shelf-life of (drum roll) TWO WEEKS. 15 years is a lot longer than TWO WEEKS.

When thier mission has been accomplished. Often the end result of a war is not known till many years after the fact. We should have ended this the first time we dealt with Iraq in the 90's. We prematurely withdrew then, and it is imperative that we stick this one throught to the end...whenever that may be. Support our troops! They are the very life-blood of this country! Let them know that thier efforts are not in vain and that they are very much needed and appreciated!!! For those of you who fear for the loss of American lives...yes, weep for them, mourn them...but it was a choice they made when they enlisted, so support the decision that they have made and support them!

The DOD website "America Supports You" has a ton of useful information... here's a page called "Helping Troops Help Others" that should steer you in the right direction.\nhttp://www.americasupportsyou.mil/AmericaSupportsYou/help_troops.html

I will say it again, to those of you who support the troops but not the war, I do not want your support so please be quiet and stop undermining public policy.\n\nevery time you say that you are fueling the enemy who knows that eventually we will give up and go home because our public makes us weak!  so in essence you are killing our soldiers with your Dissent.

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

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.

Organize a protest and hit the streets.  The only way to support the troops is to prevent them from being sent to die in an elective war that can't be won on our own.

It depends on what you mean about support.\n\nI think, in retrospect, the invasion of Iraq was a mistake.  It has taken away too much political capital that would be better spent stopping what it turns out may be the real threat of the Middle East... Iran.\n\nI still believe in the best values of the US and what it stands for but I think the current administration has led us down a path that I have greater and greater difficulty supporting.\n\nDoes that make me unpatriotic?  I hope not.

Not really a question...\n\n\nMy motto: \nIf you dont' stand behind our troops, \nfeel free to stand in front of them.

The neocon way to support our troops is to buy a "Support Our Troops" magnet made in a sweatshop in China and put it on their vehicle. Then drive it all over the place using Saudi oil. Yah!\n\nWhat happened to recycling tires and having weekend fundraisers to support our troops?\n\nOh, yes, that's when Democrats led us into war.
