Hats off to Randi Rhodes for defending our troops
she just had a bonehead caller say he didn't
support the troops . Randi tried to explain
"support the warrior but not the war" but the
caller was very closed minded.

Thanks Randi :toast: "It's about the guy next to you"

4. He WAS an idiot
How in the hell can you trash the troops when you were never a soldier or marine? What an ass. He should put himself in their shoes for a while but he would probably piss himself first week of basic.

5. Yup. I heard her. She expressed exactly my sentiments.
That guy was so busy attacking those who are basically the victims and totally avoiding doing something about the damn tyrants who are exploiting all of us.

Dope.

6. What have we come to in this country when "supporting the troops"
is a litmus test for your patriotism? Sad days indeed.

Article the fifth

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

7. I support the troops as long as they don't commit war crimes
That's my duty per Nuremburg Trials.

8. I heard that
Disgusting. I came in in the middle and was afraid it was a guest. I'm glad it wasn't.

9. I second that
These are the people who put themselves on the line to defend our homes.

We may argue that their valor should be put to better use than it has been by Bush; but, by showing a willingness to go into Iraq, they show their willingness to do anything that is necessary without question.

For this, they deserve our appreciation.

THEY are the ones calling the shots.

14. I didn't say it was
In fact, I've been rather vocal about it having nothing to do with do it.

However, the same soldier who follows orders to go to Iraq must be assumed to be willing to follow orders to go where it really would be necessary, should that occasion arise.

I blame Bush and his aides for this war and believe that they, not our troops, should answer for their wrongdoing.
