It's really time to support our troops and help them Stand Down.

We really can't do anything any more patriotic, IMHO.


National Guard to Be Called Upon to Help Tired Army
NBC Nightly News

Brian Williams, anchor:

They are the people who help us at Home Depot. They deliver our
mail,patrol our streets. They are our neighbors and friends and fellow
citizens who make up the National Guard and ready reserve. They have
suffered heavy casualties and have held up under a tremendous burden as this
nation has fought wars on two fronts. And we learn today they're about to be
asked to give even more.

The problem is most US Army units are right now not ready for combat as
we see here on this broadcast night after night. It's not as if the fight is
going away. Now we have learned the Pentagon may send more Guard soldiers
into battle. We'll begin with this story here tonight with our Pentagon
correspondent Jim Miklaszewski.

For the rest go to above link.

Our troops need to know that we will support them if they refuse to support this illegal "war".

Peace

Go to www.lonestaricon.com for many perspectives on the issues above, much has been written in the last couple of months with interviews from many vets.

1. how about we REALLY support our troop?

End the yellow magnetic ribbon on a car and actually donate money so our troops

Dont have to pay for thier meals at VA Hospitals while they are getting patched up

Dont have to rely on family to purchase state of the art vests since the DOD wont pay

Dont have to be forgotten.

2. All of the above as well, but none would be a worry though if we just

helped them to end it, right?

(I forgot my manners, welcome to DU, my posts are low, but we've been around a while, in other lifetimes)

3. its past that

we have screwed up countless lives...our troops will need the VA and psychology to deal with Iraq... Iraq will need the same but wont get it.. we created our own sink hole....
