Exactly! It is easy to state "Lets go to war" as one sits in a cushy office.
For the rest of us that have friends that have come back changed or less than one piece it is hard to be "Gung Ho"

They keep telling the US to leave, and Bush keeps saying that we will leave when they are ready to govern themselves, What a crock!

How many ways do they have to say it? They don't want us there, and we should oblige them, after all, it is their country.

Iraq demands all US troops out by 2011 - Times Online

A binding resolution would help....of course Obama(your candidate I believe) has stated troops would be there until after 2012 if he was elected...

How does that sit with you???

Considering these military men and women might DIE for their country (and signed up voluntarily), the LEAST we can do is foot the bill for their education and living expenses.

Yeah, but McCain doesn't see it that way. I guess he hates the troops as much as they hate him.

Sometimes people are just too dim to realize that they are supporting someone who's screwing them. Look at all the middle class Bush supporters.
