eddie-

Its hopeless. The soldiers in Iraq don't need your tainted blood. They don't want your pinko package of pink lady fingers and cupcakes. There are exactly zero soldiers in the military who are against the war, not to mention have any sympathy with the left, also known as the enemy. If you sent them something they'd just throw your supportive actions in the dirt and spit on them with disdain and disgust.

Face it, you are anti-american, anti-freedom, probably a pinko and also likely reside on Capitol Hill.

Forget that your stance against the war would have, had it been heeded, actually saved soldiers lives. Forget that encouraging our president to hasten the entry of UN peacekeeping forces into the situation as soon as possible will also save the lives american soldiers.

Forget that peace protesters in the sixties and seventies did more to save the lives of soldiers than the government ever did, in a war that historical hindsight has told us was wrong.

You are also soft on 'terrah'. 9/11 was probably Clinton's fault even though he wasn't the president any more. Forget that you think Afghanistan was the right move, if you are not supporting the Prez on Iraq's agents of terror then you must not believe what the president said when he stood up and addressed the Congress, the Senate and the rest of the nation when he said "WMD's and direct Al Qaeda connections"

Drop everything and believe unto your Lord the president or forever burn in the cacaphonous fiery walls of hell.

...failing that, a nice copy of Hustler magazine and some beef jerky are the two direct avenues to most 18-20 year olds hearts.

Eddie, I'm right there with you...I have friends on active duty in Iraq, three in the 101st (one already grievously injured) and many more were involved in Naval combat operations. The suggestion that you cannot oppose the war without supporting the troops is offensive and itself epitomizes the phrase 'anti-american'.

IMHO, the best way you can support the troops is to vote out the reason they are there in the first place, new aggressive foreign policy in the White House. As evidence of how destructive this administration and its like minded thinkers are, look at some of the above posts (and the one directly below might actually be the best example)............god forbid you should suggest that we come to together and support the troops REGARDLESS of your stance on the war.
