| If you support our troops, you support the fact that they have a job to do and are doing it, regardless of how much the enemies of America and the Allies gripe. I heard a politician say that the lives of our dead soldiers were wasted. As far as I'm concerned, that remark bought him a ticket to hell.
Most thinking people know that supporting our troops means accepting that they are put in harm's way by us, the people, because there is a threat to our country and it's best confronted somewhere other than in our neighborhoods.
I don't know if we, as their Parents, Brothers, Sisters, Wives Husbands, children, and friends, can ever repay what we owe them. But I know that running off at the pie hole about all the perceived reasons they souldn't be where they are discourages them and emboldens the enemy. I believe it was President Lincoln that said those people should be taken and hanged publicly. My sentiments exactly.
