    Regardless of where any stand on the upcoming war, all have said they support the troops. Here is a chance to show that support. This site is a board strictly for messages to the troops. Be forewarned, it is not a debate site nor a site to engage in anti-war sentiment, but is there solely for messages of support to the troops.

    I encourage any who desire to, to post a message to them and show them we do indeed support them. Thanks.

    After all the rhetoric coming from so many leftists, the response to this is very telling. Out of only 15 views, not one single person has posted any message of support to the troops. Yes, you all show such splendid support to the troops, just like you did during Vietnam.

    Are you getting your spit ready for them?

    Lew, that forum loads very slowly. That may stop some folks from posting (no excuse).

    Hopefully, our troops will get the message that we are behind them and wish for their safe return home.

    Hey Lew,

    Don't slap me just yet. I just now saw it. Although I do not wish for war, I will be behind them 110%. My best friend Matties, son may very well be sent over there to fight. He just finished his basic training. My cousin has already been sent.

    I will be praying for their safe return and will do as I always do. My flag will be going up to honor them who fight and God fobid, those who lose their life in this war.

    Question:Are the troops there voluntarily are are they conscripted?

    I guess most if not all are there by their own choice.
    If so then I don't see why I should give support to people who when
    their so-called superiors say "Jump" ask them "Ok,how high and how far?"
    instead of asking "WHY?"

    Suppose they gave a war and *nobody* came to fight it?
    If people are so willing to die for their country,then I can't stop them,
    but asking us to support them in their suicide mission is going too far.
    You can view this as more "rhetoric coming from so many leftists" fine with me.
    Here's some more "rhetoric":"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

    good points berten,

    What kinda new age wanky mommies boys you talking about Dakota-Red? If thick-headed gunho grunts happily swallowed the nationalist pill then volunteered to go kill men women and kids in foreign places then that's 100% thier business and certainly not worthy of encouragement or honour.

    Left/right bullshit has little to do with this - the US Army have a long vile history of killing defenceless men, women and kids from the black hills of Dakota to the dark green hills of indo-china. (and even then not always prevailing)

    Why do the whitehouse cowards insist on using a nuclear bomb to crack a nut?

    My wish for the troops is that if there is war it is fast and that they are returned home safe to their family and country. Although I may have my own personal opinions you are doing something that is so honorable ,to fight for your country is something to be proud of . Remember that freedom of speech allows disagreement about war but that does not take away from great sacrafice that you are making.

    I will gently disagree with your swill and gladly liberate your respective countries again ( I hope to God not in my lifetime) if need be. Tax dollars or in the flesh- whatever the powers that be would ask of me is OK. I would supose you will be among the first to welcome US troops into your respective countries the next time your nations are up against it with their backs to the wall.

    Before you comment on US history and Indian relations I hope you will reveiw the UK's treatment of indigeneous folks during the last couple of centuries.

    Finally I am NOT an "America -Right or Wrong" kinda guy but your attitudes about volunteer military personel "deserving" to be in the situation we are in now sickens me. I am glad your fathers had enough spine to "cover the six" of several of my relatives in the last world war. I am glad I wont have to depend on YOU two to cover mine .

    So with due respect- Get Bent!

    HOW DARE YOU BOTH FOR SHAMEMy frickin son is getting ready to go in the Marines to protect his country. He has been told this is an honor and how DARE you. I may not agree but he is putting his friggin life on the line for something he feels is RIGHT. HOW DARE YOU SIT on your chair and be such judgmental ASSES. I am a frickin pacifist but I would never EVER say what you have said. These BOYS are being told something at a very impressionable age they are shown movies that show how their choice can save lives. They aren't out getting wasted and living in their mother's basement. Who ARE WE to judge someone with that kind of dedication and sense of honor?
