Pro-war nuts clinging to "ruining troop morale" claim. How about going...

[RSchewe]

to war for lies?

Do you think that troops appreciate being used in a senseless war?

Going to war for lies is bad for troop morale!

Conservative activists and military families embarked on the tour Monday, calling it "You don't speak for me, Cindy!" A verbal confrontation erupted when the caravan arrived in Sacramento and was met by anti-war protesters chanting for Bush to bring home the troops.

who have seen so many of their buddies killed and maimed, and who must be living in constant fear that they may be next, and who probably are constantly on edge and worried about every person who approaches them in the street?

3. Tell them to imporve troop morale by enlisting so they can rotate more!

Call them on their chicken-hawk chicken shit everytime they try and blame anit war people for any problem the troops have!

5. The truth is bad for moral

Always has been and always will be where war is involved.

7. If they wanted to help troop morale, they'd have enlisted. n/t

8. How do they think it affects morale when soldiers look on TV

and see a bunch of cowardly middle-aged fatasses and chickenshit College Rethugs standing around "supporting the troops" instead of actually doing anything to make things better, like enlisting?
