Iraq War Veterans Take a Stand - (by Brad Paisley)

[goodgeerik]

haha, that one guy held up a sign that said "I'm already against the next war". Sounds like an awfully ignorant statement to me. Also towards the end there, there was a lady holding a sign that read "All that is necessary for evil to succeed, Is that good men do nothing." Isn't that sorta contradictory to the point that is trying to be made by these hippies.

[smellyfooty]

the vets and current young men and young women and even not-so-young are actually experiencing REAL life. REAL happenings. not reality-tv. not "America's Worst Idol". not the most unfunniest sitcom on tv. you don't have to ask yourself why they did it .... they did it. period. they are taking risks. and maybe through experience some ask themselves "why? and.. "what now?" but only through REAL experiences can they really know

a tip of the hat to the men and women experiencing real life. 

[rustbuckett1]

im sorry but im an iraq veteran and brad paisley is a really good countery singer but i dont think he supports us troops or vets he is all about himself im sorry but toby keith is all about us this song doesnt evn come close to even sayin anything about the troops this song is an embarassment to the american soldier

[rustbuckett1]

im sorry but im an iraq veteran and brad paisley is a really good countery singer but i dont think he supports us troops or vets he is all about himself

[mbfree62]

Awesome..Thank You Brad !!!!

[cha0s42088]

Our blvds are covered with heros. What a waste. Bush. Pathetic.

[wvufanngarner]

god bless all the people of the armed forces. they take an oath to support, uphold and defend the constitution of the united states, against all enemies, foriegn and domestic. this war was thrust upon us all. and we have an obligation to support our troops if we believe in the cause or not. im a usmc veteran, i hate to see all the pain and suffering too, but....those are our countrymen and women, support them, not your ideas. it could happen again (Detroit) never forget...Semper Liberi!!!

[xHoldDownx]

in relation to what bloodtar said. its not a matter of being too late with ivaw. men and women join the military out patriotism for their country and as a way to further their life financially. now this means they are willing to put their lives on the line to protect americans. they did not agree to go into a country that in reality did nothing to us, they did not agree to invade a country for oil profits, to protect the elite interest.

[johnnykreilein]

well looks like you like to talk about iraq well here something for you how about you go over there and then you migth just know what your talk then i proud i went and im will go back if asked to

[recbo]

So you are an Iraqi then?

[monkeyboy50001]

@johnnykreilein

HELL YEAH BROTHER WE KNOW OUR CAUSE IS JUST.

[latinoheat2257]

[softsXeballchick3]

[mayalex94]

[jonasXluvXOXO]

i still think they should come home but they gotta do what the have to do whatever it is for their country. n im gonna join the navy when i get older bc im proud of my country and i believe in protecting the people of the u.s. n im only 13

[rctube1958]

At this point in history, are you defending your country or are you joining the President's private army? There is a difference. Make sure you read the documents of the Founders. Best to you.

[LouieKaboom]

Uh, you're defending your country.  That's why they all volunteer.

[jonasXluvXOXO]

do u see the pictures people??? the soldiers are helping the kids and being nice to them its the government i guess because we aint doing anything to the regular people

[BloodTar]

Iraq veterans against the war remind me of women that have had abortions and are now against abortion. It's a little fucking late to come to your senses after you've killed Iraqi's that did nothing to you or your country or if you killed your own child in an abortion. It's a little fucking late.

[madchanstoclam]

this the best video

[jjperry610]

all I can say is bless the men and women that man up and woman up to protect this way of life, if you dont like this way of life go live in another country and see how much freedom you will get

[profharp]

Afghanistan is where empires go to die.

[ruhurdles86]

Hey Hey Hey. I'm in the Marine Corps 0311. I have been to Afghanistan and Iraq. one to afghan and iraq twice. You don't have to support the war but support the troops. Quit talking shit about it all. We do this because we want to. To REVOLT you are a liar you never got a lettter.

[ruhurdles86]

I'm sorry REVOLT was the wrong person. My apologize Marine. Sempri Fi....this is to 503salmon you never got a lettter. The marine corps finds people on their own. They don't send letter say you have to join. thats called a draft and we didn't have one. so don't say things like that immature and ignorant.

[jonasXluvXOXO]

agree n im 13 thanks for clearing it up!

[verynice420]

I heard some war stories if I was theres I would be traumatised

[revolt82]

Oh hey wait I know a thing about it, and ALOT of the soldiers (and I mean ALOT) think these wars are bull shit, how do I know, 8 year combat veteran, 0311 5yrs, switched, 11B 3yrs, thousands of servicemembers are standing up, because its all fuckes up, you wanna talk like billy bad ass sign up enlisted for the grunts, active duty, do a couple of years with eyes open, then tell me what you think about it.

[Blacklung27]

Hey bro chill out a little bit. ok I've taken several trips to Iraq and only 1 to afghanistan. Every one I know wants to finish the fight in iraq , so that my friends deaths werent for nothing but almost everyone thinks we should just let afghan destroy itself, no one wants to go back there.

[67DieHardPatriot454]

you people are all fucking sheep, who fail to think for yourselves. You dont know a dam thing about war Iraq or Afghanistan. So how about you shut the fuck up and try listening to the vets who have been there and know. you hear many of them bitching and complaining is all in vein? No you dont but your so busy running your mouth you didn't know that, assholes.

[Pageguardian]

I disagree with the war in Iraq on pretty much every level, however I have nothing but the utmost respect for any soldier. I admire their dedication and their willingness to fight for what they believe in.

Bockani, this was a wonderful video. The soldiers reuniting or meeting their children for the first time was especially beautiful. Thank you.

[losttime08sa]

Nope. Your just a Sh*tbag

[ted1165]

im a soldier and im happy to die for my country, so when i die bury me face down so that the anti war protesters can kiss my ass

[JvPaVp]

double check that one, you're not dying for your country you're dying for a few war profiteers. Poor you.

[c73carp]

hell yeah brother hooha

[justjoshinn]

lol its funny when americans get killed there lol 4000? only?.. dang.. thats nothing.

[JvPaVp]

Let see you die and then laugh about that one eh?

[oldParasiteSingle]

I respect veterans for always trying to do the right thing and for speaking out about an unjust war. I think its safe to say that some very high level US people knew there were no WMD or strong Al-Qaeda presence. Iraqi children are being put through a living hell to enrich Bush and Cheney's old oil company cronies and the Blackwater/Halliburton mercs. The 12-year-old girls who aren't killed or raped on the battlefield end up in the Syrian sex trade now. How is that part of God's plan?

[buddo1999]

( Eph 4: 4,5,6, There is ONE body, (of true Believers) and ONE Spirit, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling; 5: ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, 6: OME God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

( Jude 1:4 ) 4: there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

[sec24]

get outa there

bush has destroyed any credability of the us

and new chick vice president nominee.....omg so backwards GOD DOESNT EXIST did i metion that USA sucks the wang i giant big one

hahah of course the us sucking a big one

get it cause their fat my god that is funny yet he doesnt exist WOW thats trippy

im bind just blew much like how ur bro did all over ur dad last night

zing

[rickcee]

Iraq is Arabic for "Vietnam." Another stupid war that we allowed ourselves to be sold by a bunch of liars with a private agenda. Unfortunately, that lie has obscured the mission in Afghanistan, which is a valid one. I hope there will be enough Iraq troops to send to Afghanistan without instituting another draft lottery. Iraq is stupid, but Afghanistan, as stupid wars go, is probably a valid mission. Al Q'aeda and the Taliban are certainly worth fighting against.

[MaDelnBoStOn]

amen to pfskribbles.. god bless to all the supporters

[DigitalEmbellishment]

The fact is what Iraq needs they can't get until the fighting stops, troops there or not that isn't going to happen. My Cousin was in Falugia(yeah I can't spell it) and something he once told me while he was there sticks. He has Iraqi friends, all they want are the things Saddam,and even the Dictator before him kept from the common man, a job,basic things like clean water, food, clothes, to be more like a modern country.Occupying Iraq matters little because either way the fighting will go on.

[Bummville]

i am still for the war....but it is time to get the men and women back home

[leaderworship]

bummville, how can you be for the war, but not want soldiers there. No make sense. I say no war, and so soldiers there.

[flipperpino]

how can you be for a war with false intelligence? scott mcclellan, one of your own, is naming the president of wrongdoing. i would fight if i truly believed that america is right in doin so but there is too much crap going on in u.s. politics with hidden agendas that i don't trust much of what is told me.

[pfskribbles]

1. I'm a Soldier.

2. I've served in Iraq.

3. No one has even come close to understanding what it is really about. What makes you fight and stay awake for days and have friends die. I'll give you a hint, it's not money, oil, college, or orders.

[lovewillhealtheworld]

So, what's this war really about then? I don't want a 'hint'. I want to know the truth. You tell me.

[Roadrunner242001]

More Hero's Say a prayer for our hero's As they leave this land From all walks of life, They'll do what they can Behind they will leave, Family, husbands, and wives To fight for freedom, Some will pay with lives As we learned from the past, Freedom's not cheap A special place in my heart, Their memory I keep Their names may be known, By only a few They're a part of a family, Who's fighting for you. Written by M.Hauger Vietnam USMC 68-69

[jtheis2011]

all i can say is wow!!!! what a great song i love verything about it

nice job

[04OIF05]

This is for X1115. To call military people animals and with low IQ'S I am sorry to tell you little bitch My IQ was over 140 so what does that say about me. More educated then your dumb little punk ass. Just like WVTXGIRL66 wrote, and if you would read take the time to read the bible before you open that fly trap of yours and talk about something you know nothing about. Read the bible book of revalations,We are supposed to be their dumbass everthing on earth is planned for US. not preaching here.

[Veteran4Peace]

NAME the Scripture or STFU.

[A1sword]

The NWO caused the Iraq war,i dedicate my youtube channel to fighting aginst this evil,i advise people to stop supporting this unjust war

The US goverment are traitors to the American people thats why Bush has let the USA be flooded with mass immigration to destroy the US so the north american union can be born

click on my user name

and learn the Truth about the NWO

[seanrsk]

Your right on the money! We have to expose these criminals for what they are.

I wouldn't go to war again as I have done, to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

General Smedley D. Butler ( the most decorated marine in U.S history)

[huh124]

you make a promise. you don't keep it. it takes money. we judge our friends by the promise they keep. Afganistan.

[Uncfan0991]

you are one dumbass son of a bitch and talk about the soldiers when your to much of a bitch to realize without our soldiers we wouldnt have a free country where you could say such stupid shit

[Veteran4Peace]

You think we're in Iraq to protect "freedom?" What the hell are you SMOKING?

[joerosson]

There is no Peace with no War. We are fighting Islamic Fascism. Look it up. Quit watching the news and start asking those who have come back from Iraq and Afghanistan what the truth is. HNN, CNN, and all the reporters that "create" news manipulate and tell lies for the support of their own beliefs. This country is doomed...unless we Bring God back and stand up for what our ancestors have died for!!

[Veteran4Peace]

The troops are not stupid. Most of us have figured out that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism or 9/11.

Afghanistan is where the terrorists were and still are, but George Bush and his friends dropped that one like a hot potato in order to pursue their bogus war in Iraq.

In Iraq, the only winner is al'Qaida, thanks to the boost in recruiting and propaganda we handed them with our needless invasion of Iraq. Killing Saddam just wasn't worth the cost.

[joerosson]

"Most of us have figured out that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism or 9/11."

Hey, Earth to "Non-Vetern4lies" You haven'y figured anything out. You have heard all your information from the television. They have unfortunately convinced you of the lies. Are you soo ignorant to think Terrorist aren't in Iraq? Guess what slicky dick, they're in your back yard. They are quietly infiltrating our public schools and government buildings.

[Veteran4Peace]

Terrorists are in Iraq NOW. They were not there before our invasion...the Pentagon itself has said this many times.

The terrorists are based in Afghanistan and that is where we need to focus our efforts. We simply don't have the troops to fully occupy both countries.

And don't question the fact that I'm a veteran. You have no reason or justification for that.

USAF, 7 years, crash rescue. Gulf War veteran.

[joerosson]

Terrorist are in every country on this globe. For you to even suggest they weren't in IRAQ before the "war," informs me of your ignorance to any facts about anything. If I were you, I would stick to petting your cat and leave the real Mission to others and stay out of any debates regarding this fight against Islamic Fascism until you have done YOUR own homework and not the homework of FOX. By the Way, I am a veteran as well. Mechanized Infantry. 4th ID.

[04OIF05]

Hey Joe finally someone that has sense, It amazes me how many people watch the news and think that is the greatest thing. I agree with what you have stated they are and were in Iraq before the war. Peace out XVIII Airborne Corp

[04OIF05]

If you know so much about the bible why dont you write the scripture I am refering too. Babylon will be destroyed and rebuilt, countries will invade to gain the wealth from Which is now known as IRAQ. The wealth= oil. read that fuckface. If the U.S. has no oil we seize to exist and come to a screeching halt as we know it. Remember JERICHO the TV series it is no to far off. SO PUSSY4PEACE now read it and weep, see if you can find it in the bible. then come back at me with knowledge you dont have

[Veteran4Peace]

You're the one claiming that there's a scripture which says we're "supposed to be in Iraq."

I can't find that scripture in the Bible, and neither can you....because you are delusional and you are MAKING UP BIBLE VERSES to prop up your delusions.

This is my last response to you unless you decide to grow up and be a man.

[04OIF05]

This is good I dont have to keep spelling it out for you, PERSON WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS IS SMARTER THEN YOU. If you cant read it then I am sorry for your incapable mindset.

[joerosson]

CONT....They are everywhere. Do you realize that our Troops have killed, on Bush's orders, over 30,000 AlQaida members? The people that think like you make me want to vomit. I get sick to death of hearing your crap. In college, I had a Female liberal Teacher. Her views were just sick. All Anti-American. I think she wanted me to buy here a one way ticket to Cuba.

[JvPaVp]

What freedom are Iraqis taking away from us, and how do they take it away from us? Please name a few. You should be worrying about our rights here in America, they're being taken away from us each day by our hijacked US government. Veterens who fought in WWII to stop hitler, they are the soldiers we should be honored, but the Iraq war is different it has no appearent reasons for us to even be there in the first place.

[503salmon]

What happen to the basic right we as all humans deserve? Human rights... Without it you could do nothing especially typing that ignorant comment. And to answer your question for the second portion, I didnt know you were educated in comabt. The answer is probably no, you dont jump straight to the top of the weapons list without working your way up.

[JvPaVp]

You don't shit do ya? Replying to me with that shit, lmfao cmon? I got a letter from the Marine Corps saying I have to sign up or be fined $250,000 and go to jail. So shut the fuck up please, fucking ignorant son of a bitch. Thanks for reading my comment of diss to you, fucking idiot.

[503salmon]

What does that have to do with anything I just typed? Explain to me what the hell signing up for the Marines have to do with what I typed? You are what I call a hero... Or a douche rocket, now do us a favor and shoot yourself in the face eh.....

[JvPaVp]

Okay I will explain to your faggot face why it is the same. ITS TAKING OUR RIGHTS AWAY YOU FUCKING QUEER. SIGN UP AND GO TO WAR OR GO IN JAIL FOR LIFE AND BE FINED $250K. Are you like a fucking agent working for the illuminati or something? And btw I don't have a gun, mind sending me one? Asshole.

[JvPaVp]

THE IRAQ WAR IS AN ILLEGAL WAR!! If Iraq did have WMD then I think they would have lauched their WMD on us the minute we invade their country, am I right?

[6Nations4life]

Just to say this would the troops wanna come home as my self leaving for Afgan in the future look at all the Marines and army men and women that have died and all you say is bring em home if ya bring them home there deathes are for nothing.

great song by the way

[Curs3dSold1er]

That is very true so there would be no point of pulling out even though our country keeps going in more n more debt still not worth pulling out because the men and women that have lost their lives would pretty much be like killing them for something they didn't do

[Veteran4Peace]

How many deaths do you expect it to take for the Sunni and Shia to sit down and start singing Kumbaya together?

Because, obviously, if we can only send enough troops to die in Iraq, that will settle everything, right?

[bigstingerranger]

Peace may never come or be, but when a country wage war they have a duty to support the people fightingthat war. You can keep that yellow ribbon that's not support. War c't help changes a person.I was a loving husband and father, now it seems as if I hate everyone and thing around me and want to be alone. The VA can't help and the people around me don't understand PTSD and niether do I. All I know is I;m losing my mind and family. Suck it up soldier it was for our freedom....

[godscuttingyoudown]

the photo of the us soldier putting their hands out towards a center as they huddle is disgusting, do soldiers even read! what they did was form a fascist symbol, dating back to the Romans bundled sticks (representing individuals) rapped around a center of an ax (symbol for war)

[Veteran4Peace]

You know who else reached waaaaaaaay back in history to come up with far-fetched B.S. to vilify people he didn't like?

Yeah, I don't know either, but I bet HITLER DID!!!

[tvyes45]

i am sorry all the people that are in iraq

[themandrewbays]

Oh yea~! The book of REVERLATIONS is my fav. ?????

[wvtxgirl66]

I like this song but we will never have Peace if you read your Bible the end of time is near. Everthing is in Reverlations read it you understand. I am not trying to preach just tell the truth.

[sonrouge]

Question: Why do the veterans speaking against the war always get attention like this...while the ones speaking in support of the war get ignored?

Maybe because the people against the war don't care about the soldiers outside of how they can be used to attack the war?

[arbelm1]

because our leftist media wants us to lose the war.they want america to be ridiculed and etc.

[JumpyCamelSpider]

Amen sonrouge and arbelm1.

[04OIF05]

Arbelm1 I totally agree with you, the media and the liberals turn everything around to their little puppet master Clinton or dont laugh when I type this, the racist Preacher Rev Wright and his big puppet Barrack HUSSEIN Obama. WAKE UP LIBERALS OBAMA= ANTI-CHRIST.

[Veteran4Peace]

Wow, you've gone past drinking the Kool-Aid and started freebasing it haven't you?

[04OIF05]

I dont know where you get off with a stupid comment, VETERAN4PEACE. If you really are a veteran that is. What people do not know is that whether you agree or not with the war, we are supposed to be there just read Revelations or maybe you are to liberal to do that b/c it is not politically correct. You go by what the Government tells you or the media. PEACE OUT

[Veteran4Peace]

You say that we're "supposed to be in Iraq" because of something in the Book of Revelation and you're calling ME stupid?

Point out the Scripture to support that retarded comment. Go ahead, do it.

[04OIF05]

I am sorry I dont have to answer to you or any one else just READ little bitch. I am don talking to retards. So I will no longer talk to low IQ peiople like yourself.

[Veteran4Peace]

I've read the whole Bible more than once. And I'm calling "Bullshit" on your comment that Revelation says "we're supposed to be in Iraq."

PRODUCE THE SCRIPTURE you're referring to or shut your stupid whore mouth.

[arbelm1]

13. Over 80,000 Iraqi soldiers are patrolling the streets side by side with US soldiers.

14. Over 400,000 people have telephones for the first time ever.

[arbelm1]

7. The country now receives 2 times the electrical power it did before the war.

8. 100% of the hospitals are open and fully staffed, compared to 35% before the war.

9. Elections are taking place in every major city, and city councils are in place.

10. Sewer and water lines are installed in every major city.

11. Over 60,000 police are patrolling the streets.

12. Over 100,000 Iraqi civil defense police are securing the country.

[Rampstun]

I can't believe your comment arbelm1... are you suggesting that Americans are dying in Iraq because they are concerned about their sewers, electrical power and school attendence? oh... you're just joking with this list of "American good"... good one, though ;-) Please tell me this is a joke... You can't be serious with this list...

[arbelm1]

u r right,im not serious. however my comment was a response to those saying that USA caused Iraqis to have a very bad life.what i was trying to show is that what they say is baseless.simple.ofcourse we didnt go there to fix their sewer.are u dense?

[JumpyCamelSpider]

Careful arbelm, I think you might be trying to argue with a liberal. That never ends well! They usually start twisting your words around and yelling to coverup for their lack of interest in the truth. Read the book "How to Talk to a Liberal".

[arbelm1]

lol.thanks for the advice. liberalism is a mental disorder

[arbelm1]

Good the Americans have accomplished:

1. Over 400,000 kids have up-to-date immunizations.

2. School attendance is up 80% from levels before the war.

3. Over 1,500 schools have been renovated and rid of the weapons stored there so education can occur.

4. The port of Uhm Qasar was renovated so grain can be off-loaded from ships faster.

5. The country had its first 2 billion barrel export of oil in August.

6. Over 4.5 million people have clean drinking water for the first time ever in Iraq.

[02nagel]

That was a really cool video I hate war and to see things like that is a dame shame.

[JeremyI7]

FUCK BUSH AND THE CONGRESS! When I see a daughter or son of a congressman in the war then I might believe in the cause. When I see the president himself in the war maybe I will believe. But fuck them. Message me if you have something to say.

[lyntiller]

thats like asking a coach of a football game to get his gear on and play....you make no sense. your off your rocker! Im sure you will reply with nasty words and ohhh how life is not fair and bush this and bush that. So enjoy your freedom and make a fool of yourself.

[JeremyI7]

And as I do have the freedom of speech, I shall reply. If its so impossible for the president to fight in the war, then why have kings fought in wars before. And since bush has broken the supreme law of the land or known as the constitution. But no its far that people give their lives for a false cause right? right. What freaking freedom do I have?!

[arbelm1]

duncan hunter's son is in iraq

[cruptedangel]

damn shame our troops white black brown are over there fighting for and dying for people like assyrio78 these kind of people dont even deserve to be in America and They talk out there ass because there mouth knows better!!!

[supergurlmia2]

amen

[RPaulforPresident]

They arent. They are dieing for the multinational organizations which have our Government in their pocket and are pushing a globalist agenda, they are worse and much more dangerous. Wake up, we are being sold into slavery. He is not serious, THEY ARE.

[assyrio78]

This honey tonk trash is false information. God when the fuck will white shit understand they are supposed to mix with the rest of the population...Watch out America....you are not white anymore...but turning tan brown. And for all of you who dislike progression and this message....FUCK YOU!!

[arbelm1]

havent kurds fuck assyrians enough?didnt saddam fuck assyrians enough and now u want him back u imbicle?

[LittleBitAZ]

GREAT VIDEO!

[gregster462]

it's really pathetic that there's people out there who talk about the military and our nation without having served a day in their life thinking that the media is good enough grounds to speak on. america, you don't like it...then get the heck on out of it. nobody is holding you here. cowards...i could understand your complaints of what's going on if you've been in the service.

[Rampstun]

Maybe you find strength and honor in invading other countries and killing innocent people - stand behind the flag? - grow up gangster462 - and I bet you never served a day in your life - because if you had, you'd know better - your "brothers in arms"? well if you knew what you were talking about you'd know that thousands of them don't have arms. Think about your Veterans before you make insulting comments.

[dynamitemike65]

First off invade implys to conquer and rule the country! We KILLED a ruthless dicator that had no problem killing his own people. Unlike the US that does everything possible to limit civilan deaths as to where our enemy purposley kills innocent people hoping someone like you would blame the US. The people of Iraq wether you want to beilive it or not want us their. In fact congress is upset with Iraq because they want us to stay,

[AlNouveau]

Wake up dream boat. We've attacked (bombed) and invaded Iraq on 03/2003. That's four plus years ago. We're building perminent military bases around the country. I think that qualifies as invade and conquer... Just in case you don't know, the US don't have the right to go around invading any country with a goverment the president at the moment don't like.

[AlNouveau]

We heard the same stupid stuff during Nam. Fifty eight thousand dead Americans later we left. Only because people protested and forced an end to it. And don't be calling people cowards for not wanting any more of our own people to die in some else's civil war.

[dynamitemike65]

First off thank you for calling me your dream boat. The date is right, almost 5 years and a little over 3,100 of actual combat deaths. I'm not very good at math but 3,000 is less than 58,000. The bases are there to keep the peace not to patrol and advance on taking over. The last time I checked the Iraqi people voted and elected their own gov't. We're just the ass hole keeping the peace.

[AlNouveau]

Yea, wake up. Go back and read the first sentence, I was talking about Vietnam. And like now the only people pushing for war are those who ain't fighting in it. We invaded, conquered and are building bases to stay perminently. If you're so interested in keeping the peace in Iraq go join the Iraqi army. We need to bring our troops back home to their families.

[urnofun]

You know just because people have a opinion that is different from yours doesn't mean they aren't a good America, or that they have never served in our military. It means that they are an America with all the rights and freedoms that you have. I say bring our people in uniform home, this is not our war it is the people of Iraq's war. Let them fight it if it must be fought.

[gregster462]

History does not entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid.

Some stand behind the flag, others stand in front of it.

[Veteran4Peace]

Serious question here, from a veteran...

What does Iraq have to do with America's freedom?

Afghanistan? I can see that, since that's where Al'Quaida is based and we have every right to defend ourselves.

But Iraq?  I don't see it.

[ChrisEdwards2004]

It was the US that put al Quaida in Afghanistan. Reagan financed the Afghan Mujahadin from which al Quaida evolved. There were no Afghans among the 9-11 attackers. Afghanistan has not invaded the US. There is no reason for US troops to be there. Bush has along history of business dealings with the bin Laden family--see Michael Moore's film. Bring the troops home I say.

[PimpMyAfterLife]

Oil, Texas Tea...for President Bush,commander in chief.

other than that my friend, we're just throwing money at them.

OUR TAX DOLLARS!

[gregster462]

instead of criticizing our government...lets remember the fallen, those who've sacrificed their lifes for our freedom, past and present veterans, active or retired. lets not dwell on the negativity of it all, so that we may honor and pay respects to our brothers in arms. strength and honor, thanks to all who serve and died for us all.

Supporting the troops has nothing to do with disagreeing with the president and calling to end the war. If you really support the troops you'd want them home and not in the middle of a civil war. The administration is morially corrupt and cares nothing for the troops in harms way.

Not the administration but congress. Their the ones who keep trying to cut off funding.

We started the war. We're responsible for the death and destruction happening in Iraq. Buch and Cheney did it primarily for access to their oil. They didn't care about him being a dictator, hell we gave him WMD's back in the 80's so he could use them on Iran. Congress should have cut of the funding and brought the troops home years ago.

Ron Paul is the only top tier candidate that would have an immediate pullout of troops in Iraq
