(Witness the rapidity with which the Taliban was vanquished in 2001.) Do the research. The GOP ran the Congress for 6 of 8 years under Clinton, btw.<BR/><BR/>No one characterizes our warriors as children. But we waste their bravery on a mission that has no genuine purpose. I supported the Iraq invasion until the lies began being exposed, especially the WMD lies. Bush intended to invade Iraq from Day 1. He has bungled every phase of the war. (Why was Shinseki kicked out for saying we'd need >250,000 people in country?) If you guys in the Service don't have the equipment you need (and 80% of Marine casualties might have been prevented had the right equipment been provided)look for the reason to Bush and his Republican congress. <BR/><BR/>There are a dozen Iraq vets running for Congress as Democrats this fall. I think there's a reason for this.Joseph Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904308531108096090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13940579.post-1140211688687709442006-02-17T11:28:00.000-10:002006-02-17T11:28:00.000-10:00No. Both sides merely use the military as politic...No. Both sides merely use the military as political pawns. They offer only token support. Your democrats no more support my brothers and sisters than do the republicans. It is a farce. "Everyone" supports the military because they're too afraid to appear to the public as NOT supporting the military. It's funny to me how all these dems want to bring them home. How is that supporting the troops? They are warriors! Not children that need protecting. Give us the proper equipment and send us to do our jobs, and that my friend, is destroying the enemy before he destroys us. Supporting the military...merely a political statement to try to garner more votes. You should be running Hillary's campaign in 08. Just remember who's watch it was under that our military was cut so much, and now we are spread thin.Thomas Hobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925163568551263808noreply@blogger.com
