Memorial Day Message to Troops and Citizens

chrisbrooks	Date: May 30, 2005 @ 5:22 PM I would like to voice my support to the People in Uniform that Protect our Nation. In helping the Active American Citizen defend Freedom, the Soilder is one of America's Greatest Resources. I would also Like to take the time to say this because I know several of my fans and friends have political ideologies that differ from my own. That difference is another freedom that we can not ignore or may one day lose. I would like to remind everyone that being a Patriot does include questioning Authority and This Praise of Gratitude to the American Soilder is in no way directed towards some of the Leadership we find ourselves with. Please keep in mind that it is Possible to be agaisnt the war (In IRAQ, not the war on terror in general) that we have been tricked into being in and still support our troops. ~Christopher
EvilPicnic	Date: May 30, 2005 @ 5:44 PM Do You Have To Start Everything With A Capital Letter? It makes a message of hope, respect and gratitude look ever so slightly pompous, and (IMO) it's author like a prat. I happen not to be a US citizen, I'm British, but I still echo your message. Another British soldier died quite recently. The soldiers are not there by choice; George Bush played on the gullibility of the American people in starting this war (with his lap-dog Tony in tow), and no-one in their right minds would wish any more troops killed. I'm left-wing in my politics but once the war was started, the war was started and leaving Iraq without a working government in the styate it's in now will be catastropic for everybody concerned. It's a war which shouldn't've been started, but since it has, we might as well make the best of a bad situation, sort the mess out, and leave when we can. Anyway, that's my bit on Iraq, I don't really want to get dragged into a debate, so I'm leaving it here: IMO it's the Iraqis who deserve our prayers - it's them who are weak and powerless and in need of our support, the troops are trained, they can mostly look after themselves. And when the Iraqis sort themselves out, the soldiers can leave the dangerous areas and go to where George sends them next...

unsterblich	Date: June 2, 2005 @ 8:44 PM "I would like to voice my support to the People in Uniform that Protect our Nation." Are you an Iraeli citizen? 'Cause that's the only nation our troops are currently supporting. If they were really supporting "our" nation they'd be stationed along the southern border, not in some godforsaken middle eastern country that never did anything to us. "Please keep in mind that it is Possible to be agaisnt the war (In IRAQ, not the war on terror in general) that we have been tricked into being in and still support our troops." Of course. These poor kids had no choice in the matter. "Anyway, that's my bit on Iraq, I don't really want to get dragged into a debate, so I'm leaving it here" No one's twisting your arm, y'know. "If we agree I fail to see your problem." His "problem" was your Tendency of erratically Capitalizing Words. lol peace, brother.
