It seems from what I've read that these people are actually protesting war in general. The name of their group was an unfortunate choice, though.

Oddly, when you search "soldiers are not heroes" on the Facebook homepage, you get nothing.

I'd stay right out of it.

It's a total waste of space, populated by people with no intention of listening to anything other than that which suits their needs, plus they seem to be getting a bit of stick for their efforts.

What seno said.

I agree 100% with you and Sevens, Spike!! In fact, I joined the group that's out to get them ousted from Facebook. It just blew my mind that such a thing exists. Has it not yet occurred to those people that if it weren't for soldiers and their service, they wouldn't have the freedom to voice their assinine opinions? I'm not in favor of war either, but in no way does that translate to the men and women who serve!!!

I have to agree with you ... the people that were behind this despicable Facebook wall of shame, ARE asinine and worse. Many young men and women have died to ensure that these creeps have the right to be as publicly stupid as they want to be. The fact that they can't see this is just another example of why I have a rising blood pressure every time I read about those who are against war, choosing to express their feelings by attacking those who answered the call to protect America from ALL enemies FOREIGN and DOMESTIC ... and gave the last measure to protect those rights.

Somehow, these creeps ALWAYS attack the military ... instead of the civilian government(s) who placed these young men/women in harms way.

The very reason these bunch of idiots are able to express what they did, is simply because there are men who are able to put on a uniform, stand the post and defend the right of people to express themselves...

I suggest yhey a mile in the soldiers boot before they comment on anything...

Wimps!

Here in America we have the Freedom of Speech. It's part of the Bill of Rights.
And as much as I despise the human scum that says that worthless smack about OUR brothers and sisters, mommies and daddies that are out there, I will still stand up in defense of their right to speak their views.

I agree with you .. however ..

The other side of that coin, is the part that says that I ALSO have the right to say what I think of these lowlifes .....

Why further their cause?

I ignore these ignorant fools who have nothing better to do than disresprect the men and women who are fighting for our country.

Thanks for the info. yet.. no thanks..
NO disrespect to you at all, I only think that spreading the word is making their cause that much more seen.
I hope you understand.
