Support the Troops ( Bring Them Home)

I can't take it anymore. Daily reports of American soldier deaths coincide with eroding rationale for still being in Iraq. I am literally sick from the fact that families are being destroyed and lives are being changed forever. When will it stop?

The right-wing media kooks, rednecks and warmongers tell me it is impossible to support the troops if you are not in favor of the war. They say that the dissent comforts and aids the enemy, hence does not support the soldier.

What twisted logic. These men and women signed up for a valiant purpose-- to DEFEND our nation and support its Constitution. That is commendable, and I am grateful for their commitment. However, they are currently being manipulated as pawns for profit. I feel the less commendable agendas of the United States leadership should not use these brave people as an occupying force in an example of nation building where US corporations and Vice Presidents are profiting from their generous service. That's crap.

The best way to support the soldiers in Iraq is to do whatever you can do to influence the system that put them there to bring them home. The bottom line is, an American miliarty presence will now occupy Iraq (and eventually other sovereign nations) indefinitely. Remember, the time horizon on this imperial adventure was a year or two a year or two ago. What is left of valiant Americans will continue to be zipped into plastic bags as long as our flawed leaders demand to Americanize the un-Americanizable.

If you support what is right, if you are pro-life, pro-child or pro-family, do whatever you can to bring our soldiers home so that they can return to their homes, careers and families.
