I don't understand how people don't support our troops?

How can this be? I understand that people think peace on earth, blah blah blah... But how are they not supportive of them men who are fighting? See, I believe that the only way to get peace is to fight for it. It says in the Bible that there will always be war. BUT, many people don't see the Bible as anything, so no biggy there. It just really bothers me when people put down the troops that are risking their lives to defend our country. I sleep so much better at night, knowing these men and women are overseas helping another country get onto its feet. So, why do people not support the TROOPS? I understand the war, but what about our troops?

I don't know where most of you live, but where I'm from bumper stickers say "fu*k the troops" and all sorts of things like that, we have billboards that say things like "Well, you got yourself into it" People here are absolutely awful. I'm not saying I agree with the reasons we're over there entirely, I just am sadened by the way people act, and want to know why.

i've been to iraq twice and i sleep fine. these people that say things like you said, doesn't bother me a bit. if everything was rainbows, unicorns, hearts or whatever, these people would still find something to complain about.

LEST WE FORGET THEIR SACRIFICE!!!

Americans have mostly lived a charmed life and society has become soft. A soft society becomes complacent and cowards become the rule. It is a fact in the life cycle of all great civilizations and these people signal the end to come.

Bless you for your thoughts.

People have the right to the way they believe. It's called living in a free country but people like Obama would take that freedom away from all the whites and have the blacks and Muslim's take our freedom from us and enslave us. I think we need to send all the liberals to Iraq and Iran and let them live there along with all the Muslim's who want to enslave white American's. I am for the troops but make sure they do a damned good job of killing the "bad" guys.

I donno who isnt supporting our troops but i do and gonig to join the arm service soon
also ppl who dont support our troops might as well get out of the US and live in another country

also whos giving most of us tumbs down? ur porbably a hippy who dont believe in the american cause

We never realize how greatfull we should be for the troops. Because of the troops, we get the right to say what we want. People saying F*** the troops don't realize because of the troops, they get the right to say that. Imagine if the country says that you have to do 4 years in the Armed Forces when you reach 18. Graduate high school, and off to boot camp. It'll be alot diffrent of how we say things about the troops. Luckily here, we have the choice: The choice to defend our freedom for others to enjoy the freedom, or the choice to enjoy the freedom that someone is fighting for.

we make wars so that we may live in peace. -aristotle. people in there are awful. i support the troops . who doesn't appreciate some who doesn't even know you but supports you.

I will support our troops no matter what. Even if they kill a bunch of innocent people. Its like it was their fault they were there in the first place.

I think the vast majority of people support the troops. Sure there are some sick ones, that demonstrate at the funerals of brave men and women who paid the ultimate price. What's truly ironic is these brave souls gave their lives for principles that allow these creeps to disgrace their funerals.

I support the troops and i'm not some fat 18-30 yr old that just supports the war and dosen't put in their 2 cents.

God Bless the troops.
Because they're liberals who dont support our troops and don't understand nothing.
They just care about GLOBAL WARMING.
which doesnt even exist.
it does, but its not our fault.

u have to support the troops but u dont have to support the war.... or at least thats how it should be

Ignorance is contagious! More than likely it's an organization that believes we should get rid of our military all together. As much as I hate to say it, my family has been defending their free speech for over 90 years. All those who are in the service are my family, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters.

its nice to know that there are still people out there who support our soldiers..my truck is covered with magnets and stickers (a little over done, but when it comes to that i dont care)..i have 2 brothers, 5 friends currently there and 4 more who were there and i leave in sept..and believe me i do my best to annoy and piss those people off who are against it

-support our troops
-marines sticker
-pow/mia
-in the face of terror and murder, a call for peace is Not patriotic, its cowardice
-my truck loves Iraqi oil
-freedom isnt free
-my brothers are in a iraq, so yours can party in college
-university of iraq, school of warfare
-i wasnt 'stuck' in iraq, i volunteered

Honestly, I have never heard anyone say anything bad, or derogatory about the troops. Saying going into Iraq was based on lies, yes I have heard that. Saying Bush can't be out of office quick enough, heard that too. Ever heard anyone say anything negative about the troops, never. Not supporting the war, is not the same as not supporting the troops.


Buckeye Bill
You don't have to support the war in Iraq to support our troops.The war is something our government sanctioned but the troops are our sons, daughters, mothers and fathers!! Should have tried coming home from Vietnam now that was a home coming-------still have bad memories.

ok this i5rory guy is dumb ok we went in there as desert shield to protect the oil fields. now it is iraqi freedom so you tell me who is doing wrong us or them. my brother is in iraq right now and he told me that he was on a short patrol and he was shot at by a 7-9 year old kid, he had to shot that kid. then he said he was sorry but he did his job! the iraqies are giveing there kids guns to kill our troops. so fu*k you and your politics. the people that volinterd are really helping you. because if people were not doing it the goverment would start a draft and your *** would be over there. so next time show some respect

p.s some one must have reported him because his awnser is gone lol

I support the troops 100% , I also support the war they are fighting. I know exactly what you are talking about. As a military wife who just got her husband home from a deployment, I have seen first hand how much people don't support the troops and will say just what they think. I live in a liberal state and have had people ask what I think of my husband being a baby killer( Funny he didn't kill not one person when he was deployed) , I have had people ask why is he sooo stupid to join the military and be a killer. His job , a union, blackballed him and told me straight out that they don't support the troops.

I don't think anyone said they didn't support our troops. They are just doing their jobs. They can't help it if they were forced to go to war over oil in a foreign nation because our country is being run by an incompetent, oil happy, arrogant war monger.
I'm a Liberal who supports our troops.
It's the idiotic moron in the White House that doesn't deserve, nor will he receive, my support.
May God bless our troops and bring them home soon....and get that war monger out of the White House.

Brittany i think,as a matter of fact you need to clean those glasses! How can you support a war that was started with deception? They talk about weapons of mass distruction now where are the weapons of mass destruction? Not even a spoonful trace or sample to show the public as evidence? How can you support looting? You go tear up someones country for their oil and whatever resources they have. You rape and kill women and kids. Bcuz a person chose to defend their country's oil and other natural resources you call them terrorists. I supported the afghanistan war bcuz of 9/11 which again has alotta controversy which even the media cant mention.


Badjuju
What exactly in your mind is something that someone has done that doesn't support troops? Let's start there.

In my mind, supporting troops mean you vote for veteran benefits, you vote for a substantive GI Bill, you only bring troops into WAR as a last resource. With that mindset it is democrats that are supporting the troops. Republicans vote AGAINST veteran benefits, AGAINST a decent GI Bill, and war was being advocated from them although the United Nations was saying there was no need to do such a thing so quickly.

Of course this is assuming you are talking about the current war, or more accurately, occupation.


barthebear
I have never heard anyone not support the troops themselves. They simply do not support a pre emptive attack on the sovereign nation which is Iraq and spending billions we need here in the US

Probably after raping a 14 year old Iraqi girl and killing her family, tossing puppies, Abu ghraib and the rest of the atrocities that Americans think our troops are allowed to commit.

The number of "few bad apples" are piling up.
