FinnMacCool said:Has anyone ever recognized those yellow ribbons for what they truly are? They are a well hidden form of propaganda. Nobody can disagree with the statement support our troops but you can't agree with it if you disagree with the war, as some conservatives have pointed out. I can tell what side politically they are on just by those yellow ribbons. Has anyone else noticed this?
FinnMacCool said:The way the country is now, the military is very well respected and trying to disagree with something like that in a war like this is almost seen as terrorist like, so to speak. However, if you do say that you support the troops but don't support the war then that is just wrong because you can't "support the troops" if you don't support the mission. Sorry I should've been more clear. do you understand now?
The majority of people against this war are just against the President
When the last President issued a "regime change policy" everybody on the left loved the harsh language, but wouldn't DARE lift a finger about actually DOING it.
This President IS doing something about it...It should've been done before he even came into office, so he's actually doing it because the last guy spoke loudly, but carried a small stick.
Guaranteed...If the President was from the left and doing this, he'd have a hell of a lot more Conservatives on his side than if the situation was reversed like it is now...

Inuyasha said:People look at the maimed with distain when they get on a bus in a wheelchair or constanly talk to themselves in public. Many just look away to avoid seeing these people..
Inuyasha said:How many of you have been to a VA hospital ot clinic to say to those people "Thanks for your service." You can do this. .
Navy Pride said:If you know anything about the military and the chain of command and have ever seen and organizational chart you would know that the President of the United States be he Republican or Democrat is at the top of that chart.....He is the Commander in Chief........He is the number one troop.......He defines the mission..........The tropps carry out that mission........If you don't support the mission, the job that the troops are trying to accomplish then it is impossible to support the troops..........

While our soldiers are getting killed and maimed, Bush is making a joke about not finding WMDs? Talk about an asshole.
jallman said:And again with the reading comprehension...he said...the President is in charge of the military and that the president is elected by civilians. Please, read a friggin post, chief.

galenrox said:You can claim that's the motive, but what do you say about people who supported him in 2000 and over time realized that he is an abomination against the office of the Presidency?
Navy Pride said:By that comment my liberal friend it is obvious that you have nevery been in the military or know anything about the chain of command........
jallman said:you sure do extrapolate a lot of bullshit from everything you read. I am serious again...I want some of whatever you are smoking. All I did was paraphrase what you yourself said. Read much?
You know, you are really disgusting on so many levels. I cant believe how you belittle my military service just because I stand in opposition to some of your whacked out beliefs. By that comment, I find it hard to believe you ever served because I for one would never belittle another serviceman for his service. I will tell you what is obvious...you need a language tutor.
Navy Pride said:and all your insults have what to do with you knowing nothing about how the military works my liberal friend?
jallman said:whatever, you know what...go jerk yourself to a bush picture and let me be. I am weary of your ignorance and your inability to read. When you do get a clue, come back and share it with the rest of us because I am not the only one who feels this way about you. You are a disgrace to the intelligent servicemen of the Navy.
