This LTTE sucks ass
Protesters' signs hurt troop morale

09/24/2004

To the editor:
This letter is in response to the ever popular subject of our deceased troops and the ignorant people that hold their "gas" signs in front of City Hall. Jeffrey Holland, another submitter, stated it correctly. Our soldiers know the ultimate price they may pay (death). But they still choose to do it so that 9/11 is hopefully never repeated. Our soldiers do not go overseas to fight a war that isn't ours. It became our war the day the Pentagon was bombed.

Ask any survivor or family member of that tragic day if we belong in Iraq and you will get a very different answer then these people holding their signs.

Bush would have sent our troops into any country that bred such filth as Saddam Hussein and his terrorists, not just an oil-rich country.

I was involved in a Family Support group for an Army Battalion and let me tell you this, as I spoke with soldiers they told me that hearing about things like these protesters brings their morale down. Regardless of how we feel about this war we should be bringing their morale up, not down.

Please consider using your pens to write a letter to a soldier in Iraq rather than dishonoring the memories of those valiant soldiers that gave their lives to try and stop terrorism and maintain our freedom.

1. Dear Miss gardner
I was not involved with a suport group, I sent my husband to war

You may or may not know this or udnersatnd this, but he thought I was doing my duty by actually giving voice to military personnel who were having a problem with this, Hell they did not mind that I wrote letters to congress and engaged in that American Activity called Dissent.

Look it up Rachel, you really need to find out what the troops fight for, and yes dear it is that thing YOU would love to trample over, you know what I mean, don't YOU?

For the clueless

It is the US Constitution and Bill fo Rights

Oh and Rachel he came home and he supports my work to bring the rest of the troosp home

How about them apples Rachel?

3. Rachel Garner can fuck herself with her town's eponymous flagstaff.
If these soldiers are truly "maintaining our freedom", then that would include the right to dissent and protest. And to insist that the blood of yet more young men and women be spilt on the soil of a hostile land, that support be given to a futile effort that will ultimately lead only to even greater waste and slaughter, does far greater dishonour to the memories of any who died in this misbegotten adventure.

4. so I take it...
We can now just invade North Korea and Iran, Syria, etc, because, by golly, they aren't so oil-rich, and they are run by filthy dictators too!

Hey folks, if I ever run into this dumb fuck on the local streets, I will give her a good dose of the Zomby Troof.

Let 'er rip!

6. um Rachel, you might want to check your facts....
Ask any survivor or family member of that tragic day if we belong in Iraq and you will get a very different answer

Not in Our Name: families of victims and survivors of Sept 11 against the Iraq war.

The 9/11 Widows, especially Kristin Breitweiser and Monica Gabrielle are against the Iraq war and have endorsed Kerry.

New Yorkers are overwhelmingly opposed to the Iraq War, and we were (and still are) the continuing victims of the attacks.

Ms. Garner, they are not coming for your little adobe trailer in Flagstaff. I love Arizona, but I don't think Al Qaeda is tearing the place up looking for precious precious copper.
