Support The Troops

I have thought about this statement for many many months. I mean everybody has an opinion on supporting the troops. To some it is buying $3 magnets for their car or flying a flag, others it is going on the radio or TV and telling me they support the troops.

I have thought about it. What does it mean? As I see it now, it is a cop out! Of course, no American wants to see any of out troops harmed in any way. So this whole chest thumping done by political pundits is just that chest thumping and does not mean a thing, other than to convince someone, somewhere that they care.

If they really cared, it has come time to prove it! Listening to some high paid dingbat on the radio or TV is NOT support. It is lazy and dangerous! I do not want to see some guy who says he supports the troops walking around some secure area patting people on the back for a job well done. If they truly support the troops then go out where troops are fighting for their lives and get the real story and stop being some tool used to sell a bullshit story.

If everyone REALLY supports the troops then stand up and tell Congress that you are sick of their non-actions; tell them to grow some nuts and fight the Prez tooth and nail. Bring the troops home is the only support that is acceptable now.

Stop talking and DO something.
