    No military peoson, such as myself, wants to come home. Yes, we would like to VISIT home more, but without wars and being in them or in other countries, we have nothing to do. This is what we train for and live for so y'all stop trying to pull us away from our passions and jobs.

    I have not joined Cindy Sheehan in her fast. I didn't plan to. However, when Cindy Sheehan recently stated that Freedom IS Free and that if it is't, it would be called "expensivedom," I have been so sick in my heart that I can't eat.

    I'm all for free speech and everything. If you want to diss the President, fine. If you want to call the troops names, fine. But when you come out and make a statement that concludes your opinion that everyone who fought in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, World War I and II was just wasting there time because freedom IS already free, then I don't think you deserve to live in this country.

    Cindy Sheehan is a disgrace. My son is in the military and if he died I would not drag his name in the dirt like she has done with her son. He joined the military to fight for his country. He died doing what he wanted to do. He wasn't drafted. He volunteered to go. That woman, Cindy Sheehan is a nut case. She should NOT be allowed to talk for the other Mother's at all. Hardly anyone agrees with her off the wall philosophies. She is a a useless individual whose 15 minutes of fame ended two years ago. She needs to move on. I just saw the web site you posted. I hope Cindy Sheehan fasts so long she starves and dies a slow and painful death.

    Cindy Sheehan is the best. She should get a nobel prize for Peace and non-violent. America needs more Cindy Sheehan, Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi to teach some hoodlums politicians and radical citizens - that Peace is better than War.

    No one wants our troops to stay any longer than necessary.

    President Bush has stated many times that he will be happy to see our troops leave as soon as the Iraqi government is strong enough to sustain, govern, and police itself.

    If we pull out too fast, chaos will ensue, and all our hard work will have been for nothing.

    Cindy Sheehan is completely unrealistic and irresponsible. She acts out like a little child who, on some level, realizes she can throw temper tantrums because her parents will always bail her out.

    While I'm against this war and I don't want to see anymore of our men die, it's simply illogical and irresponsible to pull our troops out now. We are in too deep and we have to finish what we have started. We have a responsibility to our troops, the Iraqi citizens, and the future generations to remain in Iraq until a stable government is created. Pulling our troops out isn't going to change the fact that this war happened or that over 2000 soldiers have died--not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. What we can change is the outcome. If we pull out now Iraq and the rest of the middle east will become even more chaotic, there will be civil war and genocide, and one could bet that we would end up in another war. If we stay, we have a better chance of regaining the Iraqi people's respect and creating a more stable, more democratic nation.

    I would not mind that lady any minute of my time. Her sole purpose is to rob our soldiers of their glory. They have died believing for what they fight for and she drags the ideal into the mud. Second class mother, never payed her kid any attention so now to redeem herself of guilt she wants to speak loud.

    Well you lucky good for nothing those same soldiers and many before them gave you that right you don't deserve..

    Cindy Sheehan = Jane Fonda. Sorry Mrs. Fonda you are way beautiful than Sheehan; but you still sold your Country in a nick of time. Shame on you

    Who is Cindy Sheehan to "call" for anything....I can't stand it when people say that....they think too highly of themselves. And I wouldn't join Cindy Sheehan's cause for anything....she is out for blood...yet condemns that very thing...hmmm..
