Idea for an "I support our troops" sign |
|
I support our troops. They should be paid a livable wage. Their benefits should be restored. They shouldn't be put needlessly in danger.
I don't think there's anything in that sentiment that people would really be able to criticise, but I do think it would irk many republicans.

3. Let me see if I can help you make sure |
|
that no one will criticize.
What would you say is the minimum needless danger? Cause when you join the military, it is understood that you enter a dangerous profession?

Yes, I agree that the military is a dangerous profession.
I'm trying to get across the point that the soldiers, when they signed up, trusted their civilian leaders not to spend their lives frivolously.

his weapon, and his buddy next to him. I don't think he trusts civilian leadership to do the right thing.

9. there's no such thing as minimum needless danger |
|
any needless danger is too much.
If you are trying to make the arguement the troops signed up for danger, fine. But they did not sign up for needless danger.
