The Left doesn't support the troops and should admit it

I've got HBO. I'll have to tune in.

I never did like her...

I forgot MEG RYAN is this film, damn, it has been a long time. GOOSE just died. **sigh**

What one can do that wasn't allowed to wear a uniform is go and show support for our soldiers by visiting the families of the soldiers who have been killed in action.

I attended a benefit 3 days ago to help comfort an old high school friend who's 20 year old son was killed in Iraq this past May.

It was easily one of the hardest things to do in my life. the last time i saw either parent, this kid was in the womb about to be born.

But i learned so much about what a great kid he was. he was awesome to everyone that knew him and would have done anything he could to help anyone in need.

Show your support for their sacrifice by giving to the families of the fallen to ease their financial burdon and show them that you appreciate the ultimate sacrifice our soldiers are faced with every day.

Do something besides stick a damn magnet on your car, or talk to people who have nothing invested in the war about how much you support the troops.
Don't sit around throwing words and insults to those who disagree with your position on the war.
Don't make politics the subject of the day, but rather be proactive in bringing comfort to those most affected by where their loved one is in Iraq, or the families of the fallen.

Have benefits to raise money for those families who's bread winner is in Iraq serving his country.

Ford posted a nice pic of support, but he overlooks one thing, we can't pull out right now so dude, you need to find another way to support the reality of whats going on.
This isn't about politics, this is about standing face to face with someone who is personally invested in this mess.

If they could come home today that would be great, but that ain't reality.

If you can do any of these things and not walk away changed, there is something wrong with you.
And if everyone could stop using statements that indirectly insults the work our troops are doing and SPEAK supportively in their honor, just don't say anything.

But if all you can do is spout off about the political aspects, at least have the respect to make sure you hit the target without a shock factor that taints the reputation of our armed forces.

If you don't like Bush policy, and I don't, then attack that policy.
if you can't do that without demeaning our soldiers in the process, you don't support the troops.

Bring specifics to the table about that policy and then disect it like a responsible adult.
Attend the march in Sept. to voice your opinions and call for Impeachment, just take into account how what we say can be used to bolster the enemy that our troops face right now.

Damn, is it really so hard to take their safety into account before opening the mouth?

But like my last post in here, it's again falling on blind eyes.

All the attacks in the world against Bush are not going to bring the troops home until the job is finished.
But the words you do choose will have an effect on our troops in battle.
All i ask is that everyone thinks real hard about that.

Take Care!

Tired, empty rhetoric tends to do that. Mission accomplished.

BRAVO! A true American Patriot.

Donating ones time & care to those who sacrificed everything is not only rewarding, it is also a moral responsibility.

If it had a Kenny Loggins theme song, it was

But I'll admit to owning the DVD (and I still have the original VHS somewhere)

Thanks for saying that, I'm not worthy of course but i appreciate the kind words of support.

You too, Lounge!
That is the nicest thing you have ever said to me, just before calling me a piss bag, lmmfao.


That memorial hit home for me.
I have two close friends that served in Iraq, one served in Afghanistan prior to being sent there but he's in Special Forces and is always on the move. but they came home so the mood from that was a more carefree and celebratory attitude.

The pain a parent has to endure to lay a child to rest is something i wish nobody ever had to experience, and they should not have to do it alone.

There are no words to describe that feeling, and it doesn't fade, there is no getting over that no matter what you do.
It sticks with you, even though you push it down deep into the mind, it surfaces when you least expect it and can be triggered by anything that reminds you of them.

Cat's the most clear thinker around here, next to me of course.

Never said all 80's stuff was cheese, and I like cheese sometimes. Except for the HAGAR Velveeta, that shit sucks to bad to be even a guilty pleasure.
