Pro-war nuts clinging to "ruining troop morale" claim. How about going...
to war for lies?

Do you think that troops appreciate being used in a senseless war?

Going to war for lies is bad for troop morale!

one of those coordinated talking points.

Conservative activists and military families embarked on the tour Monday, calling it "You don't speak for me, Cindy!" A verbal confrontation erupted when the caravan arrived in Sacramento and was met by anti-war protesters chanting for Bush to bring home the troops.

Sheehan supporter Dan Elliott, 71, confronted caravan members by waving a sign reading "Death is not support" and heckling one of the tour's organizers as she addressed the crowd.

"You are ruining the morale over there," responded Greg Parkinson, a Bush supporter.

Sheehan began her protest vigil Aug. 6 on the road leading to Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, an act that has encouraged anti-war activists to join her and prompted peace vigils nationwide. Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed last year in Iraq.

6. You mean those troops
who have seen so many of their buddies killed and maimed, and who must be living in constant fear that they may be next, and who probably are constantly on edge and worried about every person who approaches them in the street? Yes, I'm sure that those troops are paying sooo much attention to a woman in Texas. She must be such a distraction. :sarcasm:

3. Tell them to imporve troop morale by enlisting so they can rotate more!
Call them on their chicken-hawk chicken shit everytime they try and blame anit war people for any problem the troops have!

And every DEM holding any office should refer to it as 'The war based on administration lies" EACH and every time they say speak about it. It has to be pounded home that it was all based on lies. Can't do this enough.

8. How do they think it affects morale when soldiers look on TV
and see a bunch of cowardly middle-aged fatasses and chickenshit College Rethugs standing around "supporting the troops" instead of actually doing anything to make things better, like enlisting?
