And, you over there calling in to talk radio put down leftists and people who opposed the war, the next time you feel the urge to beat your chest and hang a sign that says Support Our Troops, consider this excerpt and ask yourself if it's really that simple, if you do indeed really do support all the brave men and women serving our country:
One young man said he was desperate for financial aid to care for his wife and child while struggling to complete college studies and work full time. He felt he could gain some respect in this world and also help his family by joining the Marines. He's relieved that he was stationed at the rear of a line coming up from the south. His role was to guard prisoners. He didn't shoot anyone. But he saw U.S. soldiers shoot at a civilian car with three passengers as it approached. The child in the car survived – both of his parents were immediately killed. "They could have shot the tires," said the soldier. "Some just want to kill." [source article]And remember to question the next neo-con who writes or says something to the effect of 'they hate us because we're free,' have them explain to you how they figure kids whose parents are murdered under those circumstances, or while protesting the occupation of their country, will grow up to hate us because of our freedoms.
Support Our Troops.
