Why are the ones criticizing always standing on the sideline?
Maybe a casual observation, but I was wondering why the military members that are fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are predominately Republican and the critics and those calling for an immediate and complete withdrawal are primarily Democrat? For the Democratic Politicians, here is a solution, Pull all our troops from around the world and bring them all home. Stop all exports and imports and place our troops at our borders to keep everyone else out. I'm sorry that won't work because in addition to being against our involvement in the middle east they are for immigration amnesty and global free trade to make American products unable to compete in the global economy.
No, I'm not writing from Iraq, I am retired military and served before Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and am a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars as well as Disabled American Veterans, but thanks for the observation!

Been there. Desert Storm and OIF3. A stint in Bosnia in between. I'm a lib and love my country - it's not an oxymoron.

Gee I don't know. Perhaps my 20 years in the U.S. Navy doesn't count. I swore to uphold and protect the Constitution and I will even unto death!
Our current president also took a similar oath and has done more to undermine it than any previous president. His "military service" was spent making every effort to stay out of harms way!
Now, just who is on the sidelines?

Because those standing on the sidelines would rather point fingers than actually help out. Leftists are gutless.
Hey, what did our troops do in Bosnia, anyway? Surf the net? Watch porn? Call in an airstrike against the Chinese embassy?

Yes, the Armed Forces are overwhelmingly Republican. Democrats and libs are just whiners.

Not sure who you mean. Do you mean people like this?
