Good God people.
Soldiers are loved now because the public understands that they are sacrificing their lives and in some ways their own personal freedom to answer the call when our nation needs protecting.
The fact that they are involved in wars like Iraq has nothing to do with the soldier, and everything to do with policy set forth by the leaders WE elect as civilians. So if anyone should be ashamed of what they've done, it should be us. So get the hell off your pedestal and quit saying we only appreciate the sacrifice these days because we've been brainwashed by the government.
Some of us actually truly, honestly with incredible gratitude appreciate what people like CaptainCrunch and millions of others have done to ensure that ignorance can be spewed across the internet about propaganda and government bullcrap. I appreciate my freedom. I appreciate the people that protect it with their lives.
The only reason we can sit here and call wars in Iraq unjustified is because there are people better than us that gave their lives for a cause most of us will never understand.
The peace movement was full of a bunch of hippies who smoked too much pot and did way too many drugs. The majority of them didn't even realize what they were protesting against. Vietnam sucked. We all know that. But that wasn't the soldiers fault.
I would love to send some of you into the jungle when you're 19 years old, and while your buddies are dying around you(50,000 of them) I would tell you to keep focused and not loose your mind, and then see how you respond.
