By the way all of this is very true. Alot of my friends are marines even though I hate war and what it does to those wonderful men that are fighting. I still support them.Because would we have freedom with out those men before? Come on guys…Dont bad mouth the soldiers. It is their duty,and thier job. Love them.Support them.Protest war..Dont protest the soldiers.

When I did some randoming..I saw alot of war stuff. People making comments about how the war is pointless and everything.Even though I agree to a certain degree. I have friends and a (soon to be) ex husbadn,Whom is one of my close friends That is a soldier.Support the troops. Remember them when you pray. And Pray for their safety.

 

Just a bit of patrotic sara for one and all.:P

I agree.

i am against war, all war, at all times….however, i am not against our troops…they work day and night as you say and it takes a lot of strength and bravery to do so. i would never criticize the men who give their lives so that i can live. i criticize the men who decide that we should go to war yet again, so that those brave men must die.

I’ve read this before and I really like it. I support our troops, just not our president. *HUGS*

It’s sad that the brave men and women who are part of the armed services have to serve a fickle “leader” such as a politician – who typically are more intent on financial gain rather than real progress for humanity en masse. The members of the armed services are to be honoured, but those who put them in harm’s way for poor reasons are the ones who need to be chastized by the populace.
