I think we should all know - the argument being raised
now about the "troops" reactions to the proposed senate "resolution".

They really are just as much bullshit as they appear to be. They are.

I don't think so, I know so.

My boy is 3/2 - Mosul 2x and Baghdad now. It is as clear as it appears - they have a real problem with being sent out for target practice when they are the targets. Big surprise.

I judge a lot from the descriptions I get from him -I admit it - but it sure appears to me they have the same opinion of the war we do. In fact, nearly identical.

I am not from a pacifist family - all males did some war (except me) - but no one alive from a war thinks differently - and I can speak for my parents on this with authority - and they agree.

Don't think you are being unsupportive of the kids opposing the war - on the contrary - you are voicing the concerns they cannot right now - they are too busy getting shot at.

Joe

1. Thanks for this
and thank your son for his service.

At the Jasper AR demonstration on Saturday was a family with a son over there. So I know what you say is right.

2. My oldest is in the Army Reserve
On deck for deployment. The resolution made him smile. Nuff said.

3. I've heard the troops are upset but, the machine is doing propaganda
saying they support Bush all the way.

5. I think that is right - they are turning up the propaganda -
But those are american kids - and they ain't buying.

We are definately on the right side on history.

And I am sure this is right.

6. Oh, I just think the war is incredibly dangerous -
Thank him for what he did - not me. He is a really good kid.

And we WILL bring them home alright. We are the adults in the room, as it turns out.
