I didn’t know that extending tours and denying benefits was supporting the troops. Do you really think all of our service men want to be there? Are the ones who want to come home traitors in your eyes? You need to learn the difference between supporting the troops and supporting failed policies by a failed administration headed by politicians who had benefited from deferments and favors. Bringing the troops home is supporting the troops. We have been there over 5 years, they are ready to come home. After 9/11 people didn’t enlist to become the Baghdad police. If the war is over like some above had suggested than lets come home, our mission was never to be a security force. Support the troops by coming home, support our military by coming home. Not only are we spread too thin but this fabulous “mission” we have accomplished has diminished recruiting for our armed forces. A healthy democracy and nation is one that allows dissent, perhaps some of you would feel more comfortable in Russia. BTW- what are y’all doing to support the war besides spouting off on blogs?
