But those who protest are protesting against the war, not the soldiers. Even though a lot of ppl thought the hippies during vietnam were worthless I think they proved valuable in putting pressure on the politicians (why don't they get their fat asses out there and fight) to end the conflict and bring our soldiers home. Now don't take that the wrong way I'm definetly not the kind of person whose on the extreme left or even the left at all, all politicians regardless of their political affiliation are scum in my opinion, but if I thought protesting would help to bring back one of my best friends whose over there you bet your ass I would.

The problem is those that should hear it have deaf ears.

That should be displayed in every public park,bus station,town square and fuckin college in The United States

I have to admit i`ve always been one to be like "what the fuck we are doign there" BUT i watched a documentary of what the americans and brits! have to go threw and wow. those are real men, they have to look in the eyes of the enemy and treat them with respect knowing full well they`d happly blow them up. now that is a real man. all i can say is well done ur more than i could ever wish to be. and my heart and thanks go out to those brave men who protect us.

i may be neg for this but i feel it has to be said. i did 8 years and i would not trade one day back for a normal life. i loved every day when when i was pissed off and livit about some of the orders i had to follow. but at the days end or when a certain task was over. i realized it was for a reason. to keep my ass alive when the shit hit the fan. now alien has a right to say what he wants and not be neg because he does not agree with what we say. we fight on our own free will to protect his right to freedom of speech and his other freedoms. but by bashing him and wisheing death to him cuz he is not tatolly seeing this your way is us being just as bad as we think he is. he is only voicing his opinion with is the freedom i and all the others volunteered to help protect. when i was dodging granades and moter rounds. i was not thinking damn bush/clinton/cic. i was think we have to stop this madman before he hurts another human being , weather it is one of us or one of his own country men. to be cont...

As he stood at the Gates, St. Peter called out... Another Soldier Reporting... He served his time in hell

anyone wanting to show their thanks should wear their Poppy- REMEMBERENCE SUNDAY.its not just a charity people-its a day of respect for those who've served their country,those that are serving now,and those who died while serving.

the majority of my friends over there and they all agree that what their doing sucks but at least they did something!

Thanks for the excellent post, Angstrum.

My neighbor is over there right now and he just a kid. End this bullshit and bring them home. I can respect the freedom he's fighting for just as much while he's defending our fuckin' border right here in my back yard. What the hell do I care if them people want to kill each other over there? If they were helping an alliance then I'd understand but they are just acting police over there. England needs help, lets go. Isreal gets attacked, ok. But who really gives a rats ass about a culture that's so backwards they give their kids ak-47's as their first toy. Fuck 'em! BRING OUR BOYS HOME! I can support him just fine when I reach over the fence to shake his hand!

Correct.. treated like scum..until they arrive back in the body bag ..then they are heroes..the poor families get little or no help with life afterwards..meanwhile the political morons sit safely in their ivory towers. Ship the politicians over there and save millions of pounds in taxpayers money..the conflict would be over by the weekend!!

Just came across this Post. Soldiers get paid to eat out the Shit, the Politicians have produced. That is sad. I am not Anti-American, I am Anti-Bush. He invaded Iraq for one reason only and this is Oil. And now the Soldiers have to eat this. The main reason for many Europeans to dislike the new American Way of Life is, that Bush got rid of most of the things, America stoud for during WWII. No freedom of speach, no freedom of choice. And that he works in alliance with some of the worst Enemies to Democracy. Hence, what do you think Saudi-Arabia stands for? Remember where Bin Ladin came from? Remember who paid most of the MoFu´s?
