Support our Troops?
Edited on Sat May-24-08 08:32 PM by Dangerman
All the mainstream media calls for us to "Support the Troops" including various game sites.

But they do not know what "Support our troops" really mean.

They probably do not mean "Bring them home"

Take this piece of shit:

http://www.spike.com/video/2664048

One of the comments for the video said:
"The finest young men and women in the world just passed before your very eyes !! Just be glad they are Americans !!!! ROCK ON TROOPS AND DO THE DEED !!!!"

Here's another:
"As a spouse of an Active Duty Air FOrce Member, that is one of the BEST Ads I have ever seen. Let us not forget that our Service Members serve freely and give their lives for our freedom. It is not their decision to be in places that are dangerous and where they are losing their lives ever day. It is OUr Presidents and the politician that have a nice comphy job an family to go home to ever night. But our Armed Forces know that in order to protect our rights and liberties, this is wha they must do on a daily basis. God Bless all of our Service Members and Thank each and every one that you see. God Bless America..."

I posted a comment on the video's board and these are my exact words:

"WTF? Our troops have been used as cannon fodder forced by a warmongering president to kill innocent civilians and destroying towns in Iraq! If it does not say "Bring them home", then this damn ad is a hypocritical piece of CRAP!

Bush forced you troops to become WAR CRIMINALS and this BS ad made you look like DOPES!

This is a damn PRO-WAR (ad) and it does NOT support our troops!

Damn this f*cking war!"
