Yeah, thats why anyone saying that they support the troops but not the war, not the mission, etc., is clearly way off base.
Thats like saying I support my wife, but that selling Avon job she has is stupid, that she doesn't know what she's doing with raising the kids, etc. "Bring home my wife" means put her back in the kitchen where she's safe. But that won't solve anything.
My scale of whose opinion is worth something concerning the war:
1. Troops actually there.
2. Troops who were there.
3. VFW members.
4. American Legion members.
5. Other former members of the armed forces.
6. Spouses and family of currently serving troops.
....
3259. Democrats in Congress.
....
9493. Celebrities.
....
10234. Moonbats who say they support the troops and that they should come home.
thank you for posting this. now go over to blackfive and read the letter to America from the SSG in Afghanistan. If only congress would listen to this stuff.
Thanks. I'll post that, even though I'm not sure I agree with it entirely.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
See we report what the troops think and say.
In truth, I was beginning to wonder for a few weeks about the war. I was wavering but not anymore. Getting back online has helped me so much.
I'm glad NBC did that video. How I wish they would do more.

what about members of number 3259 who happen to also be members of any or all of numbers 2-6?
Some of us, however, still wonder what ever happened to the simple "We want them to succeed in their mission" credo.
Declaring it a failure when by objective historical standards it's clearly not one is mighty frustrating to watch.
