just to add some positive words, for every nutjob protester out there protesting, we have many more patriots out there supporting, sending care packages to troops, raising money for their families, defending the honorable name of our soldiers against those kind of people who respect only themselves.

Also remember that those people are dirt, they are without honor and without courage, the reason they protest at hospitals and such is because they know that a soldier is better than them and that he will not lower himself to their level.

"for every protester their IS a Patriot"

oh and nice picture phoenix

all off topic posts have been removed.

KEEP ON TOPIC!!!!

LMAO. Seriously, they need to spend time and see what they go through; maybe then they will understand. (But I doubt it)

I personally thoroughly despise those that will demoralize our troops. If you think that an anti-war protest in view of troops and their families does other than demoralize, then I disagree. It does not bring knowledge to anyone. I feel all it does is breed hate and discontent.


A bit off topic but I believe it pertains to this thread:

I was at the Naval hospital today and saw a Marine that was in a wheelchair. He was in the blast range of an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) when it was detonated. He suffered shrapnel wounds to his left lower leg and right thigh and suffered a fractured left forearm. He was appalled at the protesting. He looked at me and asked me why would they protest against us fighting for their (Iraq's) freedom? I didn't know how to answer him.

He made a statement that will stick in my mind for sometime to come: "Alot of people fought and died for our freedom just so they can do this kind of crap."

You should have told him grateful people outnumber coward people and always will.

does the war in Iraq has anything to do with freedom in U.S?

Saddam has no WMD, how does it threaten U.S' citizens' freedom

or does he have some connection with Laden, your nation's report shows he does not.

WARmachine88 you are so far off of what I said it is not even real. I kept my post on topic as much as I could. You took it clear out in left field. Please, reread what I posted.

It is about the demoralization of troops. Not about politics. It was one story about one Marine that felt a bit out of sorts that people would belittle his and others efforts.

So let me answer your questions:

No the war in Iraq does not threaten the freedom of the US nor does it have much to do with the freedoms injoyed in the US.

In response to your statement of WMD. We now know for 100% certainty that he does not have WMD.

I am not sure of this but let me state my opinion. He may or may not have ties to OBL, but it is my belief that he does/did have ties to terrorist organizations. Whether there is any truth to that or not only Saddam knows for sure.

Now please, back on topic in regards to protestors and such.

Saddam paid $1,000 to the families of suicide bombers in the West Bank.
