Oh so now he's not only against our soldiers in Iraq he's also against the America's Army game?!?
This guy may say that he supports the soldiers, but like anyone who is against the war, they truely arent. If someone really supports the troops they support what they are doing.
I know a lot of people are going to bash me for this but hey its the truth, if you really want to support the troops support the war

Well, I could equally argue that if you sign up as a soldier, then expect to be sent places where you might be killed. That's the job, after all, and support or not, that will continue to happen.
I suppose the difficult question to raise is, do we consider them Soldiers first, or Humans first?
I support any Soldier who goes to fight to the level of wishing him to come home alive. So what is more important, success or survival? Or are they the same thing?
Tricky Questions, I know, but remember, a scaffolding only supports a building by being there when it needs it, the public are the same, pro-war or anti-war, as long as you are there for your troops when they come home and we don't see a repeat of the appalling treatment of soldiers after Vietnam, support can take a variety of forms.

I'd have to agree there. Whether we like it or not when someone signs up for the army they have to realize that they might be called on to fight and to die for those in need. Not just our own country but our allies and sometimes for people who are trying to win freedom. Its takes a lot of sand to become a soldier. God bless the men and women of our armed forces.

While I don't fully support the war in Iraq, the invasion of Afghanistan was justified. This is because, unlike Iraq, the Taliban there were in fact supporting Al-Queda (sp?). Defense of the country doesn't just mean fighting the enemy on your turf, it means fighting them on their own home turf so they aren't able to directly attack your homeland.
