Support the Troops?

by John Little on 12/11/2006

A blogger at Gay Patriot has a question for Veterans Day protestors:

Let’s have an open discussion here: For those of you who “Support the Troops, Not Their Mission”, I ask you: Give me a concrete example of what you’ve done, say, this month, to “support” them. And if you could, also please explain how this counterbalances your lack of concern for (or more properly, your disdain for) what’s most important to them: Their Mission.

Our troops make living by fighting enemies. I support the troops. I explained to a lot of people that our troops are killing people because they just want to be able to pay for their collage or mortgage. To be fair some of them spread democracy. It is good that they don’t spread anarchy or terrorism.

Our troops do not kill people to pay for college or their mortgage. They kill them to keep them from killing themselves, their comrades, or defenseless civilians.

And anyone who’s protesting on Veteran’s Day deserves a one-way ticket to somewhere tan and brown on the map.

yes they do kill to pay their college. I use to be a recruiter for the army. 600 000 killed in iraq. whether we kill them or we were preventing of killing them- great job.

Yes, I do beleive that marines and the like are killing for the simple purpose is that is what we as an infantry man myself look forward to, we are childish and immature with all too much responsibility. We will either kill each other or them, all the same somebody will die.
