It all sounds good for the gangs and cons to go to war but it would be a guaranteed loss. A soldier does his job w/o needing to be placed on pedastool. or

A soldier is a special human who has(by a higher power)been created with a special recipe of DNA which enables them to be able to do what they do.

I am a mother of a Marine Reservist in CA. I proudly say "THANK YOU" TO EACH AND EVERY MILITARY SOLDIER. The way I see it is if they could decide to protect the entire U.S.

If you think it's easy to just pull a trigger then stand with our troops on the front line & show our country that you love this country as our troops are doing each and every single day. Be careful of what you do and say cause you are no better than the ones standing in front of our troops(fighters). We love our troops and God Bless all of them may he keep them safe and we pray he brings all of them home real soon!!! God Speed to all of our Armed Forces!!

first and most importantly the soldiers are heroes no matter where they are stationed. as for thinking we are fighting terrorism you are very wrong.we are in Iraq. the last 5 years we have been letting the real terrorist gain strength while finishing what the first bush did not.soldiers do and go where they are told.so dont blame them for the war.they are indeed fighting and dieing at an alarming rate.where is binladin? he was not even officially charged for 911! time past blurs the memory!!!!!

You know, these soldiers are the real heroes of this country. Sadly, some people are against them defending us in Iraq. What I'd like to tell those people is: SO, YOU'D RATHER HAVE TERRORIST HANG OUT BEHIND YOUR HOUSE AND BLOW UP YOUR HOUSE, DOG, AND GENERALLY, EVERYTHING? YOU'D WANT ANOTHER 9/11? IS THAT WHAT YOU ANTI-U.S. SOLDIERS PEOPLE WANT? Well, what they should really do is put themselves in the shoes of a soldier. Yeah. God bless America and the American soldiers overseas.
