This Should Get The Ball Rolling!
I don't know about you (when I say you, I mean anyone reading this) but, I am tired of being labeled as someone who does not support the troops if I don't support this war. Nothing could be further form the truth. Yes, I support the troops. I support better pay, better family benefits, better healthcare, better body amour, improved equipment for the troops, and more support through intelligent leadership. Not supporting the troops is sending them into battle with poor planning, limited and inadequately manufactured equipment, lack of overall military (total numbers) support, and not paying them more. Not to mention, not adequately providing for their mental and physical welfare once they return home. Yes, it's my belief we have the best military in the world. The Israelis kick some serious butt, but we are still the best. In fact, I feel our military is one of the few things we can still say is "the best in the world." These troops proudly put themselves in harms way day-after-day for the speculation of a few over-esteemed under-informed politicians whose judgment is so poor as to mix alcohol and guns. These same troops were ready to kick down Osama Bin Laden's door and show him some American justice. Then they were told "Hold it! Don't go in!" and redirected to a misguided war in a country with no connection to the attacks on 9/11. Yes, I support the troops. I support them by saying "Bring them home now!" That's just my opinion, I could be wrong. Joe
