RED FRIDAYS
Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. They need to be home!

    is it possible to support the troops while simultaneously thumbing our nose at "god"?

    and while we're at it, can't we support the troops while disagreeing with the war and the questionable way with which it was begun/run?

    i hope they all come home tomorrow so we can hoist them up on our shoulders and give the love and respect they deserve... and give them the care and support they'll need to recover from the horrors of a war we didn't need to wage.

    God? Not so much.

    I support the troops, but will never be involved with something associated with religion.

    Not to be a d***, but why must people constantly support the troops? It's a career people choose, and their agenda is given by the government. If you want to support the troops, people should be rallying against the government and leaders of this nation to get troops proper supplies, support, benefits and salaries. But that's just my 2 cents.

    Also, if you think I'm wrong, ask yourself if people would need to support the troops if they were home in standing compared to overseas carrying out conquests not directly based on our homeland security.
    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    But doesn't the color red mean you are a communist? I'm confused...

    Here's a novel idea... instead of being 'silent' and wearing a commie colored shirt... how about donating 10 bucks every Friday to the USO? 10 bucks is what... one lunch at Quiznos... or 2 lunches at McDonalds? That way, instead of 'Silent Support' of our troops... you would actually be DOING something to support them.

    What does 'support the troops' even mean?

    Oh... and I forgot to ask... Which God would we be supporting? I presume it is the God that tells us to kill the people of the God that goes by another name.

    It can mean quite a few things so its confusing at times to work out what context people are applying it to.
