Reply #14: Yeah, we do.

They're going cuckoo. We, as the people of this nation, gave them this war to fight.

However, it requires no additional action on our part at this juncture. We need to support them by attacking the administration's poor supply strategies, poor diplomacy, unrealistic expectations, "control freak" mentality, cowboy talk, and lack of a resolution strategy. We need to support them by protecting their benefits and getting them back home ASAP, even if it means getting on our hands and knees to the UN.

Most of all, we need to support them by providing them with better leadership than what they have now. The problem is not the GI's who lose their marbles. It's the chickenhawks who lie to them. For all the "America's back" from the post-Vietnam dejection BS, you'd think the republicans would learn that the most important lesson is to never, never do that to our soldiers again.

Yeah, we need to support our troops. Heaven knows their civilian leaders aren't.
