The American soldier who isnt involved in politics and has no say in when where or why
The American solider who hasnt seen his girflriend/wife/children/parents/friends in 9-13 months
The American soldier....wonder how bad he wants to come home

Go ahead and argue who was right and who was wrong. Like i said its beating a dead horse. The Iraqi people (cept for the zealots) are generally happier now. If for nothing else it was worth it. I know alot of people over there most of my graduating class from VFMC is over there right now.
This whole post sickens me
Its the worst kind of Spin ive ever seen.
Welcome to the new age Rhetorical Press.
I don't see the connection at all.

Nobody is questioning the soldiers' actions. Who put them in harm's way? The administration. Is it right? It's their job and duty. Was it right to keep them in harm's way in Vietnam? It was their job and duty.

I will support our soldiers. If they are put in harm's way, they have to do whatever is asked of them, so they get OUT of harm's way as soon as possible. That doesn't mean I have to support the person who put them in harm's for reasons I find questionable.

Questioning the administration does NOT equal questioning the soldiers and it does NOT equal questioning America. Why is it so hard for some people to understand that?
