support the troops
I very much question Bush's reasons for sending soldiers to war, but regardless, they are there and deserve all our support. It sickens me when people speak against the military and our soldiers there. They are doing their jobs, regardless of what they personally believe, and making daily life or death decisions. We hear of the deaths, but what of the injuries? And consitions?

I think it's our duty as citizens to question our leadership, to ask why and expect answers. But it's also our duty to support the troops no matter what. They didn't ask to serve in a somewhat unpopular war. They signed up for the military for whatever reason--education, service to country, a way to escape poverty, job training, family history--and are doing their honor-bound duty. I'm sure that more than a few soldiers have refused and left. But the ones that are there should not be tarred by their leader's questionable actions.

Support our troops--they need it now more than ever.
