Troop Morale
Advertisements [?]
I have seen that some Military Families are saying that Cindy's Vigil is hurting troop morale. Being sent to a combat zone without enough armored vehicles or bullet proof vests doesn't hurt troop morale? Having to scavenge metal to weld on their vehicles to make one more layer between a bullet and their bare skin doesn't hurt troop morale? Iraq veteran benefits being passed as a forgotten in the first place second thought doesn't hurt troop morale? Bush returning from his vacation to cancel troop leaves doesn't hurt troop morale? Troops living for the end of their of hitch only to have Bush extend it doesn't hurt troop morale? Seeing Friends being shot and blown up with no end in sight and no definitive answers from DC doesn't hurt troop morale?

Bush goes to great lengths to explain his powerlessness over the military. He has even said that he just does what the Pentagon tells him to. What makes Cindy more powerful than the President of the United States of America? Maybe they should start by explaining that.

Because I have a huge load of vitriol for them if they cannot. It begins with. Don't disparage Cindy in her fight for hard answers to hard questions, peace, and to bring their loved ones home alive. Go to Crawford and camp outside the ranch. Wait for your chance to thank Bush for the lie that killed or maimed your child. Then when Bush comes out for the grand ass kissing ceremony. Then maybe Cindy can ask him a few questions while he's bent over. I'm sorry but not everyone has a lust for war. It ends with. Better yet why don't you just go to Iraq and cheer them up? Everyone else wants to do something that will have a positive effect on them. Instead of walking on egg shells while they dodge mortar shells. We want them to get some good out of this bad war. Like coming home to kiss their spouse, hug their children, and tell mom and dad how much they love them for all the wisdom they have taught them.
