War
Let me give you my opinion right off the bat: the war in Iraq is bullshit; we never should have gone, and I am very proud to say that I have thought this from the beginning. That said, I support the troops! I was in the Navy for 4 years, and I would be recalled if they needed people. I just cannot understand why it is soooooooo unpatriotic to hate the war. and how no one can understand that you can hate the war--with passion--and still support the troops. I think I am supporting them the most cos I want them to be safe at home.
here is the back ground I work in a place were almost everyone is a veteran. One of my coworkers came in and told everyone he could that he saw a guy that used to work there on the news, in his V.F.W. hat, protesting in downtown. every one thought he should be thrown out of the VFW and that, of course, he hated his country and was a worthless American. This disgusted me!!!! What does Free speech mean? Why is everyone that is liberal unamerican? I guess to be American means you have to lie all the time and be really corrupt and be heterosexual and want to destroy the environment and drink a big glass of oil for every meal, oh yeah and shoot up all the animals we eat with steroids and penicillin and carry M16's in our belts under our coats so we will feel safe.
that is my opinion and I am entitled to it. this does not make me UNAMERICAN!! I was born here; I served my country, and I will die here.

The other things that's weird to me is that in liberal social circles where there are not any veterans, there is this assumption that everyone in the military must hate the left, because the few who do have the loudest voices. My father in law, a Vietnam Vet, has a position on the war similar to your own. My sense is that people in the military have political opinions and lifestyles and diets and religious sentiments that are as diverse as the rest of America. The lie that all soldiers must be the same in every way is not an innocent one. It skews the debate, but it also robs us from being able to see each other’s humanity.
See, I told you I wasn’t going to fall out of touch. :)
