ok im a democrat who is TOTALLY against the war in Iraq, but you got to remeber that the men and women who died enlisted. Most of them knew they were going to Iraq. So why take that sense of Pride away from them.

Something to keep in mind when you prosecute your next protest. Please don't let the flag touch the ground, it's disrespectful.

They should be charged with defamation for this. they are using the names of dead service members to try to toy with peoples emotions and to push there political point im sure most of those men and women that were read off knew the risks of the job they chose

[jkwagner7]

How about not letting our American flag touch the ground!

[price25u]

They should spend a year in Iraq first and then establish a real opinion on things.

@bw01a Since when did America become the punk bully of the world? America has no right to invade sovereign nations in case you didn't know. Let us nuke everything that we fear....Thank you for reaffirming my initial belief that we humans need to be wiped off the face of the earth and start over with some other life form that won't cause it's own extinction.

[bw01a]

Despicable emotional liberals. This is a disgrace, and you don't deserve to live in a country as great as the USA. Please move to Iran and share your stupid viewpoints there right before we nuke it.

Did this girl say "do something better with their lives"? So she is actually degrading those in the service saying civilians are better than the military because they joined?

And they say they're here to honor the troops.

Everyone that walks through a recruiter's door knows that we are at war and you have a chance to die. These people think they're better than us and smarter than us and we can't think for ourselves so they should do it.

And they say they're honoring our troops.
