Reply to "Why I DON'T Support Our Troops..."

Well,

I have come to a simular conclusion Patriot. But with an asterisk. Bush invaded Iraq with CLINTON'S ARMY. Those men and women, People like Lori Piestewa and Jessica Lynch volunteered their service to this country in a time of relative peace, trained hard and learned the methods of war to DEFEND AND PROTECT THE UNITED STATES. They Got HIJACKED. Lori died to Save Jessica on a battlefield that did not exist before the day she died. Before that battle was fought TWO Generals, Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff resigned rather than order troops into IRAQ, and one of them had ordered troops into Afghanistan. Lori was a lowly Specialist in a Maintenance Battalion she had a contract to fulfill, and two fatherless children.
But the term of enlistment is four years. The enlisted person in the Military today either started out for a career in the Armed forces and extended his or her contract before the war, OR they volunteered to fight this war. THOSE VOLUNTEERS FOR WAR ARE PLAIN AND SIMPLE MERCENARIES. No one in his right mind supports MERCENARIES FIGHTING A WAR OF AGGRESSION.

So, count this liberal as one who SUPPORTS a strong DEFENSIVE military, AND ADAMANTLY OPPOSES MERCENARY ARMIES MARCHING TO CONQUEST. Ours or Theirs, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I will gladly take up arms AGAIN, to defend this country. But, like Lt Ehren Watada, I would not go to fight in Iraq for love nor money.
