Supporting the Troops and not Bush is very easy.  Send a care package to a GI, write a letter, volunteer to help out a family who has a father or mother deployed.\n\nAnother thing to look into is find out where the VA hospital(s) are in your state, and take a trip to one (call ahead and inquire about volunteering opportunities).  Those men and women who are there will more than appreciate the company.\n\nDoing these things will show you care about the troops.  You can show support for the troops without being labeled a Bush lover. \n\nDo not know where to start?  Call your local VFW or American Legion.

Yes, I support the troops, I used to be one. Blaming soldiers for going where the elected leaders send them is ridiculous. Blaming the Soldiers is the easy way out, if someone disapproves of what the soldiers are doing they should address the issue with their elected leaders, that’s the way this country works.

Here is a website that contains addresses of soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan. Not all soldiers have internet access. Many of them are out in the middle of no-where. But they deeply appreciate receiving packages. And with Christmas approaching what better way to support our troops than by sending them a box filled with homemade cookies, candy, and small gifts? Here is the website where you can contact our troops.\n\nhttp://anysoldier.com/WhereToSend/

I support our troops all the time! I have never forgotten about them for one second! I had 5 uncles who served in WWII, 2 of which served in the Korean conflict, then later on, I had 2 uncles who served in the Viet Nam war. BTW, the people who served in Viet Nam were spat upon and degraded so badly that I felt ashamed of how our country treated them when they came home! Anyway, I won't get hostile, but I am very proud of our men and women who are serving in all divisions of our military. I do DJ/KJ shows quite often in an American Legion Post, and there is never a night that we don't all hold hands and sing "God Bless the USA." Yes, I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, AND AM TRUELY GRATEFUL TO OUR TROOPS...PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!

A better way to thank these people would be to go back to your original question and click the link to contact them individually.  Chances are that none of them saw this message out of the thousands of questions that are out there.

My husband is a soldier in the Army and I support him as well as the other troops %100!! But I do not, however, support our president in any manner. I see no reason for our soldiers to be overseas and it has been stated that our country is at its most vulnerable point with over 2/3 of our military overseas. 2 answer ur question, It's totally possible to support the troops and not the dumba** in charge! :)

Our soldiers offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. \n\nThe best way to support our troops is to hold to account the Government who put them in harm's way based on a lie.\n\nWe must support our troops by demanding that they're pulled out away from murder and murdering on behalf of politicians who couldn't be bothered to even join up themselves.

I'm glad to see everyone coming to the defense of the US Military.  \nThis guy is not worth replying to....\nClick on his name and you will see he asks the same type of questions over and over.  The old guy can't seem to get it up anymore so he takes his abuse out on people this way.\n\nI doubt he reads any of your replys.  He's too far gone to change his mind, whatever is left of it.\n\nDon't give him the satisfaction.  Just cut and paste this answer on all of his open questions so we can all get our two points from him....

I support our troops being there, these brave men and woman, show how tough and determined our soldiers are.\n\nIf I listened to certain people or certain politicians then I would probably not, but I listen to the soldiers, the ones that are there risking their lives to make a difference.   Our soldiers got killed by a homocide bomber, what threat were they giving out candy and talking to kids.   They are trying to build but it is hard when security is not there yet.  They are trying to build roads and schools and such.\n\nAnd the afghanss do want them there, not as taliban jack thinks.\n\nhttp://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/061112/national/afghan_cda_taliban\n\nIf they soldiers say they are making a difference, and are willing to put their lives on the line, with that integrity why shouldn't we believe them.\n\nSUPPORT OUR TROOPS\nLest we forget.

For my own part, I thank you. I wholeheartedly disagree with anyone who blames our troops for doing their best to fight for our country. I do not agree with the politics that sent you there, but I will fight that battle with the politicians in the best way that I can. I think that there is more support than there was for the soldiers who fought in Viet Nam, and I would like to think that this rise in support shows that more Americans are beginning to understand the need to support our troops. The argument as to why we are there, and whether it's right or wrong, is one best fought with politicians, not with those who fight so hard for us. Again, thank you!

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.

Support the Troops, but not the war? Why don't you tell them "Hey! You guys are great, but what you're doing absolutely sucks"! Get a grip on reality. War is not easy, nor is it predictable. Many unforeseen things happen. Let me ask you this - how many terrorist attacks have been perpetrated on US soil since we've been in Iraq? Wouldn't you rather be fighting these fleabags over there? And do you realize that our forces, all volunteers by the way, overwhelmingly support the mission that they are fighting? Stop giving comfort to our enemies, and show an undivided front and unwavering support for our people and the mission that they are fighting. If you are not happy with the war, keep your trap shut and cast your vote at election time. This irresponsible BS is what caused the failure of the Vietnamese War. It's a war, and Generals, not journalists and anti-war demonstrators, should be fighting it and deciding its outcome!

I hate to do this but I've just got to respond t a_ranger_ boy. I hate to break to you but your beloved commander in cheif does not care about you. He's sent you to fight for an un-just 'cause. As far as "Where the bullets meet the meat" I've been there. So have a-lot of people who oppose the pres. I thought the marines were brain washed not the army. BTW I feel for you being over there and I hope you return safely but sadly you are not defending any americans right to anything. Sorry. You are being used.

I think there may be some confusion there.  What people are missing is there is a huge difference between being supportive of the men and women fighting overseas and supporting the reason they are there.  By the way, exactly why are we there?  Fighting terrorism?  Oh, yea, I almost forgot.  Anyway, I do not know of many who do not support the troops, and I do not know of many who support the reason they are there.  There is a difference.  I hope everyone sees and understands that.  Just because someone thinks our presence in the middle ease is uncalled for does not mean that person does not support our military.
