We don't have the god thing goin on either!

was gonna say....I got an email like this in 05 or so?
Careful with the "we's" I wish them a safe return, but that is all...not sure if that fits any of the definitions of support, but I'd hate to be confused with someone with other definitions....This is just another stupid way for people to feel better about themselves and/or their nation....Like anyone notices if you're wearing red in support, unless you tell them why...in which case they'll prob think you're a douche (not you keeponrockin).

(I know quoting Rage is taboo in the poli-sci geek community, but this line is always in my head when the 'support' debate gets goin...)

This was posted in another thread...brutal, yet eloquently stated:



PS - red support shirts, huh?...between this and those overpriced Laguna Beach skull/wing/patch t-shirts, the Hell's Angels might want to start working on copyrights

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

The only way to "support' the troops is to stop all the silly charity singles and boxes of cookies. Bring them home before any more of the die or get hurt and make sure they NEVER are homeless or lack sufficient health care and that includes mental health care. It also includes making sure they're never hungry or without a social safety net.

the best thing I ever did was talk a guy out of going with the special forces and becoming a porn model. He now lives in a huge house in Maui and works as a scuba instructor. And he's alive. Cool, eh?
