Bowtieguy,
I will never buy into the awful lies that our military is fighting for our freedom. I find that silly poem nothing but propaganda. |
I read a poem thanking soldiers for our freedom, which certainly did not result from peace (regardless of whether or not any current action is related to preserving our freedom or not). Soldiers paid for our freedom and I am blessed with that freedom every day. I also support our current soldiers regardless of whether I support any particular war or not.

No, they may not be fighting for our freedom, but they are fighting for the freedom of the people of Iraq. Think about where we might be right now if France didn't help us back in 1776.

freedom, yeah right freedom isnt a regional thing, its worldwide peace.
when someone take a bigger piece of the cake, there is always someone unhappy (hungry if u can read between the line :D) |

since you answered it... propaganda: dessemation of information aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. what does THAT have to do with paying respect to those that have sacrificed there lives or lifestyles for the freedoms of others. YES!, that includes past, present, and future. whether one supports military agenda or not, our troops SHOULD be supported. that poem was and is not limited to our current military standing. but, anti-war protesters forget that some past wars WERE IN FACT necessary(i won't get into our current one--that's not the intent here). i remember seeing a protestor's sign(on tv) before the US entered WWII. it said "leave hitler alone, he hasn't attacked us." some of us realize that war can be an avenue to peace. anyway, back on topic. thanks to any of you here that have served, and God's speed to those serving away from home now! |

2) I disagree with your premise that ANYONE fighting in and occupying Iraq and Afghanistan is sacrificing their lives or lifestyles for the freedoms of anyone: me, you, Iraqis, or Afghans. They are only sacrificing themselves for the US Empire and the corporations that profit from these baseless, illegal, immoral invasions and occupations. Quote:
"i won't get into our current one--that's not the intent here." Yes, it WAS your intent to include the current "war". You said so in your fourth sentence/paragraph. |
What I think is being lost here is that whatever the mission, whether or not we personally agree with it or not, our soldiers are our young men & women. They're our sons, daughters, friends, and neighbors. Maybe we don't support why they're there, but how can we not support the troops themselves?
