Thank You Troops

[fistor!@#]

THAT'S the meat of it, right there.

For me, the fact that these brave people are being put into harm's way on a daily basis and really don't know why makes me sick.

I agree with you. The troops should not be taken advantage of, and any military action should be carefully analyzed and it should be absolutely necessary before we risk the lives of our brave troops. But the fact is that they are there, and we must support them so they can get the job done and come home to safety.

Here's why I'm being such a prick about this, and my apologies for my attitude in this thread:

This is all generality fluff. "We should support our troops", to me, is like saying "We should mow our grass when it gets long". It's obvious. There's no substance to it. "We should support our troops". Okay, great. How? Dive deeper. Don't just throw out a generality, because I see that as being more about the poster and not the recipient.
