| halogamer1989 said: U really dont get it do u. Saying "I support the troops" then voting in support of troop withdraw is unpatriotic. You either support them fully until the job is done or dont support them at all. I'm sick of hearing people who dont even know what an M16A4 is talk about bull like timetables and withdraw. Uninformed voters are the biggest noobs of them all.

FYI - I was accepted to the AF Academy prep school (1992), I have fired an M16A4 and my dad is retired AF. I love and respect the military and their service. Whenever I see a person in uniform, no joke, I walk over and shake their hand or pat them on their back. I am so grateful for the sacrifices the military make.
The real reason I want them out is simple - we were never supposed to be there in the first place. Why should more lives have to be lost because of a political blunder? It makes no sense.
Ask folks about Afghanistan and it's nearly unaminous - they support the military action in Afghanistan because that's where al-Qaida was before they migrated to Iraq. Iraq was completely filled with missteps and to stay any longer is just a complete mistake.
Oh, I support the troops wholeheartedly, but wanting to finish the real fight in Afghanistan and beg the U.N. to step in and help clean up the Iraq mess is the best action for the U.S.
Just because I want the U.S. troops to withdraw doesn't make me unpatriotic. I was literally inches from signing my life away to serve in the military and I have had more than my share of family members who served in the Mideast - before and after Desert Storm and this foolishness.
I don't have a problem giving my life for my country, as long as the leaders avoid war at all costs and don't foolishly leads us into a war that wasn't necessary. That clown Bush did just that - just because Saddam threatened his daddy.
I would also recommend looking up the word patriotism and quit relying on FOX NOISE for your definitions.
Have an awesome day!
