Do you support the troops?

Do you support their choice for a new Commander in Chief?

Or do you thing the global banking cartel should run the country and our military?

Why is Goldman Sachs buying our election??? The Wikipedia article on Goldman Sachs alone is enough to be a wake up call to SANE individuals.

Update 2:

I ask because I think live troops are better than dead troops--and they give up years of their lives to defend our Constitutional freedoms. I appreciate that.

    It looks like Goldman Sachs is hedging its bets.

    And yes, as former military and as someone who still works in the military and alphabet soup community, I'm very supportive of the troops.

    Yes I support the troops. I was one of the troops. A long time ago. The last time the liberal weenies ran out on us. So you showed the entire government is controlled by the elites and the corporations? We have known that for many years. That has nothing to do with the troops or our support for them. I do wish our government would stop lending them out. But in this case I see the big picture. The President picked out a place in the middle of the hornets nest and put our military there to kill the loonies as they came from miles around to mess with the US. Brilliant I tell you, brilliant. To our troops: spank their azzes people. Pay no attention to the whiners back here. Just kill the bad people who want to be killed. And come home safe when the job is done.

    The troops definitely have to be given more than just a handshake; they need some applause for doing what no one else will attempt in the populace-of course excluding the torture and retaliation freaks. Keep in mind the fact that enlistment/commissioning is voluntary. The problem is not in the military, but rather in the White House and Congress.

    The whole "freedom" none sense in the Iraq war after fruitlessly seeking "Fantastic WMDs" is simply put laughable and objectionable. If they so care for World Peace much more than say, OIL, look at Sub-Saharan Africa with Darfur Sudan a good example. Who has given a damn to the mutual slaughtering that has raged on for about quarter of a century, or the genocide in Rwanda which the west tried to ignore till too much press put it on the world scene?

    Try go thru Bush's speeches since 2000 and look for the word "Africa". I highly doubt you will get any more than .5% a topic to mention.

    Funny that most military voted for bush the last 2 elections and they tend to vote republican as a general rule. They are mostly conservatives.

    So where do you get your facts that they need support in getting a new commander in chief. They have a vote and they usually place it with the conservative canidate.

    You do realize that Wikipedia is written by the average joe and isnt always 100% accurate. Its hardly a source I would say the Wikipedia article alone is a wake up call enough.

    Its like confirmeing the facts of the book/movie The incoveinent truth by reading an article written by tipper gore and saying see this article confirms he was right.. You dont know the accuracy it spot on or even close. Most of the time it is close but anyone can write anything and get some friends to give it the ok and it will be placed on Wikipedia. Did you know I could ammend that article and if I got enough friends to vote for mine being right it would change the article to what i wrote even if there is no truth to it

    BY THE WAY I fought in Iraq was wounded and now I am disabled and I still support Bush, the troops and the war effort.

    I beleive in the mission there. So stop speaking for us!!!

    Yes, I do.

    And I don't support Ron Paul.

    (I can't stand his supporters.)

    Goldman Sachs have OWNED the Democrat Party since 1991.

    They bought Bill Clinton.

    But so did the Chinese & now the Saudis.

    Our Military will vote for the Most Conservative of the choices.

    They always vote Republican.

    of direction it grew to become right into a hazard. Saddam grew to become into engaged on weapons of mass destruction, and used them. He grew to become into interior of hours of utilising them against Israel while the 1st Gulf conflict made it impractical to realize this. The hazard on the time that such WMD could fall into the palms of al Qaeda kinds grew to become into actual on the time, and nonetheless is. If the U. S. would not gain Iraq, we'd assume that it ought to become a house for an al-Qaeda - Taliban conspiracy in simple terms as Afghanistan grew to become into, and with the WMD around the corner in Syria, it does not be long till now they show up interior the U. S.. that's why calls to deliver US troops out of Iraq are so silly.

    Yes I support our troops. As to the choices for commanders I do not know or understand all the politics involved enough to comment on that.

    Nice try Skippy. The troops didn't elect their commander and Chief, America did.

    You are a credit to Ron Paul the biggest liar in the campaign.

    And yes I support our troops.

    Support Troops Question are President.

  • 1 decade ago

    Of course I support our troops.

    Our Constitution places the control of our military in hands of civilians, the framers of the Constitution did not want a military independent in power.

    Politicians will make bad decisions and it is up to us as citizens to hold them responsible. If we refuse to hold our politicians accountable, that's our fault.

    The troops are doing their duty.
