Have you bashed a soldier today? No? Neither have I. In fact, the kids

[ScreamingMeemie]

and I just sent out 3 care packages to soldiers. Go figure. Me, a DUer even. :hi:

Stunning, ain't it?

1. I am sick of these whiney "i'm sick of the soldier bashing blah" posts

There has been no soldier bashing on DU.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Me too. Hence the thread.

:hi:

10. Funny coming from someone who...

starts a "I'm sick of the _______ bashing going on here" (fill in the blank with vegans, homosexuals, you name it) just about every day. :shrug:

[nytemare]

23. I have seen some on here

And I have taken the liberty of commenting on those posts. There have been many posts on the ribbon magnets. The magnets I have mixed feelings on, but the posts have been along the lines of the people with these magnets are blindly supporting evil. Now, I would agree with that if they had a big "W" sticker as well, but not just the yellow ribbon magnet.

2. I owe my life to a member of the US Military.

The US Military is responsible in a direct way for my very presence here in the US and on DU.

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Bingo!

Hi GOPisEvil!!! How are you? I haven't been running or "threading" into you lately!! :hug:

[GOPisEvil]

8. I'm around.

I'm doing well. I'm glad you're better. :hug:

3. You mean you haven't spit on them

like a good liberal should? Didn't you get the memo? /sarcasm

[Trajan]

6. Chuckles ....

I gotta admit ... its hard work bashing soldiers all day ....

ESPECIALLY my nieces and nephews who joined the service before BOOSH became the head weenie (or was that weenie-head ???) .... I especially love/bash them .... NOT !

I appreciate the soldiers, I despise the GOP ....

We BASH the idiots in power, who pretend we 'hate america' because we dissent of THEIR view ....

[Misunderestimator]

7. Excellent!

:thumbsup: And absolutely astounding... wow.

12. Well they damn sure need our charity, as they are being fed rotten

meat! Mega barf alert! Army Awards Bonus to Halliburton for Supply Work --The U.S. Army said on Thursday it had given bonuses to Texas company Halliburton for its logistical work in Kuwait and Afghanistan but had not yet decided whether to give a performance-based bonus for disputed dining services to troops. <*See: Contractor served troops dirty food in dirty kitchens --Sunday, Dec 14, 2003 --The Pentagon repeatedly warned contractor Halliburton-KBR that the food it served to US troops in Iraq was "dirty," as were as the kitchens it was served in, NBC News reported on Friday. Halliburton-Kellogg Brown and Root's promises to improve "have not been followed through," according to a Pentagon report that warned "serious repercussions may result" if the contractor did not clean up. The Pentagon reported finding "blood all over the floor," "dirty pans," "dirty grills," "dirty salad bars" and "rotting meats ... and vegetables" in four of the military messes the company operates in Iraq, NBC said, citing Pentagon documents. The report came as Dictator George W. Bush fended off Pentagon reports that Halliburton-KBR overcharged US$61 million for gasoline it sold the military in Iraq. Dick Cheney ran Halliburton for five years until becoming vice pResident.>

13. I See More REAL Support Here for Troops

than anywhere else. We just don't flaunt it, because it would appear to be similar to the actions of the many self-righteous right-wing assholes out there.

14. My nephew is on his second tour in Iraq, he was stop lossed.

he was also in Afghanistan...did i mention he's a democrat? So many of those soldiers joined up so they could find a way to pay for college. I hate the bashing. Bash the war not the soldier.

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Agreed. My cousin is about to be dragged back in and there's nothing

he can do about it. His wife is very ill, but too bad. It's not them...it is those who "lead" them. :hi:

[AlCzervik]

19. thats exactly it, the war starters.

I'm sorry to hear about your cousins wife, thats going to be very hard on both of them.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. And my thoughts are with your nephew. Everyday I log onto the CNN

website to look at the men and women we have lost...and it rips me up. Everyone should be forced to start their day by looking at the faces of both the civilians and the soldiers their (admins) lies have cost.

15. ever get the feeling that for some

bashing = insufficient level of fawning praise?

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. That is so very well put into words. Yes! Exactly!

:hi:

[Gabi Hayes]

18. ''you fascists.........''

you know Majority Reports starts their show with that, right?

I get very happy when I hear that tune!

[Misunderestimator]

22. Word.

:headbang:

[Bullwinkle925]

24. No - I would never since I have friends who served in Viet Nam

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Anyone willing to do what I myself could never do gets my respect.

:hi:

[Bullwinkle925]

27. Absolutely - suppose that lets Dubya out, doesn't it?

har har har

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

26. No. In fact when everyone else was screaming torture about Abu Graib

I was defending them saying, "Hey this is no worse than any gang bang occurring daily in American cities across the nation...we are the greatest country in the world and people like Lyndie England make me proud to be and American because she will follow orders no matter how immoral the command"


SUPPORT THE TROOPS!

A GRAM IS BETTER THAN A DAMN!

REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

FIVE FOR A DOLLAR!

YOU CAN TAKE AWAY MY SUPPORT FOR THE IRAQ WAR AFTER YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD BRAIN!

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. Touche'. I understand that not all are innocent. But, how can we cry

over 9/11 and the tactics used to con the poorer classes into service, and then turn our backs on them. Many of these are those same kids we saw...:(

[JimmyJazz]

30. Unfortunately, she also gets to take the fall for following those orders

but, on the other hand, another group of soldiers is in trouble for disobeying orders that would have gotten them killed! Talk about stupid.

[Not_Giving_Up]

29. Good for you!

My brother said that when they got their care packages it made them feel so much better. He said "Wow! All the American junk food that could possibly be shipped without going bad!" He was deployed at xmas, so he got some movies and video games from my parents to help him pass the time on the sub.
