I don’t think that the troops have a problem with this, so why on earth do the dems and the left have one?

Well, maybe. And then again maybe not.

That is a misleading story (go figure!) The overwhelming majority of US troops in Iraq are positive, incouraged, and invested in their work. Many there are re-ups. Yeah, there will always be a few malcontents. But don’t make the misteak in thinking that their attitudes reflect the majority.

The stories about our troops that I hear coming out of Iraq are nothing short of heroic, inspiring, and humbling.

(...) Why should we blindly support our troops ? This is not an era of conscription in the US and UK and so they have all signed up of their own free will. They aren't fighting to protect our countries, they are doing a security guard job elsewhere. (...) (18 years ago, 24-Mar-07, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
