When will our soldiers realize; RW AMERICA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU.

[LynnTheDem]

When they're killing and dying, when they're having their arms and legs blown off, when they're blinded or deafened for life, when they're so scarred their own loved ones can't bear to look at them, THEN they're HEROS.

But when they point out the FACT that America has sent them to do all of the above WITHOUT ENOUGH GUNS, WITHOUT ENOUGH AMMO, WITHOUT ENOUGH BODY ARMOR, WITHOUT ENOUGH SUPPLIES to reasonably protect themselves or to do their jobs, they're told to STOP WHINING SHUT UP SUCK IT UP YOU KNEW WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR.

That's one hell of an indictment of the American people; the troops SHOULD HAVE KNOWN Americans would order them to kill & die WITHOUT ENOUGH EQUIPMENT.

When they're back from war, without arms, without legs, without eyesight, without hearing, disfigured, sick, jobless, homeless, they're told to STOP WHINING SHUT UP SUCK IT UP YOU KNEW WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR.

That's one hell of an indictment of the American people; the troops SHOULD HAVE KNOWN Americans would order them to kill & suffer grevious injury, and THEN DESERT THEM.

When Americans point out the FACTS that the war is total bullshit based on total LIES, they're told they DON'T SUPPORT THE TROOPS and STOP WHINING SHUT UP SUCK IT UP THE TROOPS KNEW WHAT THEY SIGNED UP FOR.

That's one hell of an indictment of the American people; the troops should have known they'd be sent to invade other nations for a pack of lies, and the Americans who oppose it are hurting the troops by not wanting them to be sent to die for a pack of lies.

When a tribute to our fallen troops is shown on the television, it's denounced as "liberal bias", "propaganda" and "treasonous", and "soldiers die, SUCK IT UP"; when a tribute to the 911 victims is shown on the television, it's a "heroic tribute".

With the kind of "SUPPORT" given the troops by Americans, especially the rightwing, our troops DON'T NEED FOREIGN ENEMIES; they already have more than enough DOMESTIC ones, especially in the rightwing.

1. Which side is denegrating the troops?

"It's not the president, it's the troops" - Rudy

"a few bad apples" - Bush/Rummy

"he's a commie" (or whatever he said to the guy who asked about the armor) - Rush

2. The very vast majority who denigrate our troops are the rightwing.

Definitely and demonstrably true.

Unfortunately, so do some "progressives", altho I think most of them are DINOs, not liberals.

3. That's simply because they (the troops) are not *really*

their kind of people. <wink wink> They (Chicken-hawk Politicians) wrap themselves in the American Flag, but truly respect only other wealthy individuals who often are savvy enough to NOT have to put their life on the line for their country. Let the poor rural youths such my father and older brother come off the farm and serve as cannon fodder for elective wars.

IMO those evil old men (and some women) are sexually demented in their old age - they seemingly get *their jollies* watching our poor and working class youth fight and die in THEIR elective wars that serve to increase their crones wealth and power.

4. RW values troops only when troops protect the RW, and is pinchpenny even t

even then.

Amazing how the RW cuts benefits to vets... down twelve percent per VA patient last year {or was it during bush's 4 yrs?} , and thats not counting those totally thrown out of the VA System onto shabby poor people's hospitals.

Homeless vets too.
They die at three times the normal rate.. the homeless, that is.

Soldiers are of no true value to the RW.. The RW only pretends to like them , during the hours the troops are defending the country. Even then, the RW shorts them of gear. And the pay is lousy. Amazing. Is the RW normal?
