SUPPORT THE TROOPS - What Does That Mean To You ??

I think any person who has actually been in combat has a better perspective on what's really happening and not the BS we get from the media.

Just my opinion of course.

Then you must agree with most of MysteryMan's posts then, right?

At least Mysteryman SHOWED UP!! As much as I DON"T like Mysteryman, I have to respect his service, and the fact that he indeed frakking SHOWED UP AND SERVED ... That's something YOU will never know about! Mysteryman is NO coward, and he is no shirker!! Mysteryman doesn't sit on the sideline and make smug uninformed statements!! Mysteryman was a soldier, a serving MAN, something you can never be!!

Mysteryman HAS MY RESPECT, despite the fact that I don't like him!!!

Anon,

You know that I adore you. We may not agree on a lot but I do like you. But, let me straighten out something, ok?

I DID NOT VOTE FOR GEORGE BUSH! I DO NOT SUPPORT THE WAR!

Because of the way I support the troops I cannot and will not get into the politics of this war. I want our men and women home. But, until they get home, I will do everything in my power to make sure they have what they need to get through this.

And, if someone's idea of not supporting the war is to just ignore the troops because they made the choice to enlist, well, I feel sorry for anyone that would do that. Jesus would not ignore the troops! He would not ignore them. He would not ignore the Iraqi people either. And please, do not pop back with would Jesus support the war. I highly doubt that He would. But, He at least understands there are situations that one must learn to cope with. This is one of them.

So, if someone doesn't like it that I try to encourage a soldier so they can keep some peace of mind in the middle of this mess, well, sorry, but quite frankly, I would tell them to stuff it.

I don't actually have one. I was hoping someone would notice and bring one over

Not true. I was in several places that were hit by natural disasters,putting my skills to use.
We picked up Cuban and Haitian refugees,where I put my skills to use.

My military training has been useful when I have come acroos traffic accidents where people have been hurt.

The medics in WW2 were also there to save lives. Are you saying they shouldnt have been there?

You need to experience life a little bit before you criticize something you know nothing about.
By your own admission you are to young to serve,yet you are attacking and denigrating those of us who did choose to serve.
How can someone as young as you say you are be so full of hate for the military and this countries vets?

That is praise-worthy mysteryman, I however, stand by what I've said. You can still help out without joining the military. By enlisting you're saying that whatever crimes the military has committed were necessary or of no import. That is unacceptable.

I've experienced enough of life to know that it is worth living and that no person has the right to rip it away from another.

I grew up in Cuba, a country whose people are still suffering from a blockade, a relic of the Cold War, and a failed revolution. Part of my family came from war torn Europe to make a new life for themselves, the other part managed to live through Batista's dictatorship. Trust me, I know war and conflict.

Don't hold my age against me.

Mysteryman holds it against you that he can't bully you into agreeing with him. You stand your ground youngun, you will always have those like Mysteryman. Typical military brute!

And you are an ass.
You have no idea what I think about him.
I posted exactly what I meant.
I dont hold it against him that he hates the military,nor am I trying to "bully" him.

And as long as you continue to root for more deaths,and laugh when American soldiers die,under any circumstances,you have no credibility at all to say anything.

Let me make clear that I in no way have made fun of *anyone* dying. Anyone who reads my posts knows very well how I feel about this.

Anon, I'm not easily intimidated. ^^

And mysteryman I know you post wasn't directed at me, but for the record I want these guys (and gals) here, I want them safe.
