1. Like we should care?
The public supports the war. They voted for it. If they want to send their sons and daughters to Iraq to die, so be it. Not my problem....

2. They do... and will continue to, unless there's a draft.
Until there is one, they'll just write it off, saying 'they signed up for it.'

4. At this point, I agree with you
They want it, they got it. My concern is getting my grandchildren out of harm's way, because I will NOT let them be sent off to die in Bush's next ugly and pointless war. Or the next or the next or the next...they will be endless! Damn Bush and crowd and everyone who supports them!!

3. Apparently, most of the troops just love it.

What's the break down in the military vote again?

5. Americans have shown that these types of "small" things do not
bother them. So, perhaps,we will start seeing more of this. You think?
