I never thought I would be saying this but WilMac has one good point. No one in this country has suffered one bit as a result of the ongoing war. Consumer spending is strong and everybody has a gas guzzling SUV to haul the kids to soccer games and hit up the malls.
With that being said Madman is correct in true support for the war is not giving up....like the democrats are doing.
As a proud soldier I find it almost treasonous that all of these bleeding heart, yellow belly democrats are calling for troops to come home.
Luckily for the 350 million people in this country the small percentage of us who guard your freedoms will not quit and have no intention of doing such. To do so would be a shame worse than death.
So please spend money this christmas, go to the mall, hug your kids and go see a movie. However, please keep that small thought back there in that deep dark part of your psyche that the freedoms enjoyed everyday are only there because of those of us who have all will continue to serve every single day with not possibility of failure.
God bless america and please say a prayer for a defender of freedom that you possibly will never meet and may never come home to hug the kids or kiss the wife, so of them have been my friends. Thanks for the time.

what the heck are you and wilmac talking about? We haven't suffered? We don't have relatives over in that quagmire? Many haven't lost their loved ones to this war? Our dollar isn't worth 40% less than it was 2 years ago? Our housing market isn't in the dumps with millions left in foreclosure? Our liberties and the Constitution haven't been shit on over the last 6 years? Our global reputation isn't now laughable?
Oh, we've suffered, and we'll suffer from this war for many years to come..
The song is pure bullshit propaganda.. and I for one have given many care packages to drop boxes at work and sent directly to my cousin Matt in Afghanistan.. You realize we do still have troops there too...
No offense xterra3202 as I usually agree 100% with you, but I'm not so sure that anybody is "guarding my freedoms" over in Iraq.. I feel for you guys for being there, but I'd rather you all were either in Afghanistan looking for you know who, or home with us.
P.S. 82nd Airborne Division - Desert Shield/Desert Storm vet here......
