I am enlisted in the US Army and I DO BELIEVE that Democrats DO NOT SUPPORT US.

"The troops" aren't the ones making the decisions on the mission that they're on, so it's entirely possible to support them but not their mission. I have friends in the military and obviously I want them to do their best and come home safe. That doesn't mean that I support wasting our money on helping a bunch of foreigners who don't want it!  They can tear each other to shreds for all I care.

Cheap politics by MaCain. 4000 american troops and over 100 billion dollars a month has been spent on the iraq/afgan war since 2001. Let our troops come home and focus on the invasion from the South by illegal immigrants. Let us have the best homeland security son no more 911 can happen. A war 8000 miles away which has nothing to do with us is going to (and is already) bankrupt us. Macain is a coward for saying Dems dont support troops. Thats his only way to dismiss all the reasons of the Dems.

Given McCain's voting record of NOT supporting the troops (he has continuously voted against any legislation that supports troops with healthcare and other benefits, as well as voting against funding for Veteran Affairs, after troops return from tours in Iraq or Afghanistan), whereas Democrats have voted in favor of such legislation. So how exactly is he in support of the troops when none of the troops have any desire to be in Iraq anymore?

SUPPORTING THEM IS NOT FUCKING SAYING THAT YOU SUPPORT THEM, OR THAT YOU BELIEVE IN THEIR FUCKING MISSION!! SUPPORTING THEM IS PASSING LEGISLATION IN FAVOR OF THEM, NOT VOTING AGAINST IT LIKE THIS ASSHOLE IS DOING!!! John McCain can say he supports them until he looses his voice, but until he votes for a fucking law that provides them with the shit they need when they are there and when they come back, he is just another trator pretending to be a patriot.

im sure ur certanly right about those who didnt know what there getting into. i personally plan on joing the army or becoming a navy corpsman after college. i'm not a youth of america who has been brainwashed by military recruiters. i am aware of the risk's im taking and i have realized the fact that if i join i might have 2 go 2 iraq and i might not make it back alive.but im willing 2take that risk so that other ppl dont have 2 take that risk. but i am willing 2 and i am proud of that.

My husbands in the army and he would gladly get out if he could. Who got the most support from the troops wasn't it Ron Paul. He raised a hell of a lot of money from troops. I think some think what there doing is right and want to go to iraq but I think a lot like my husband didn't understand what they were getting into.
