Marching in an anti-peace rally is not the same thing as fighting in a war
This is a reminder to all of the freeper dimbulbs.

Holding up signs attacking the mother of a grieving soldier does absolutely nothing to provide support for our troops. It doesn't count as combat experience, either.

If you really want to support the troops, sign up or encourage your kids to sign up.

At the very least, you should be writing your representatives and the media to demand that the troops are given proper armor and supplies as well as unspoiled food. You might also ask this President you admire so much to come up with a little thing known as an exit strategy. Otherwise, your claims of support for the troops are hollow and meaningless.

2. "support the troops"
The reichwingers might also consider becoming human shields for the troops or for the suffering Iraqi civilians.

3. They support the war, other people fight it.
And the ones who support it are the real heroes, not the fighters. After all, who was the asshole and who was the hero in Vietnam? Kerry? McCain? or Bush?

5. You hit the nail on the head.
It almost makes me wonder if they didn't play up Bush's AWOL to an extent so all of the freeper ccowards could better relate to him.

4. But they are fighting the battle of ideas!
It takes a lot of courage to speak up for the people in power you know.

:sarcasm:
