I did not put this up for political purposes. It was meant as a thank you to the troops. You and QSD turned it into a DNC talk point. After QSD posted his opinion I posted mine. I don't know whay liberals can't just say it is great we have such brave troops without an editorial about the war?

Sure seemed like it was political.
You know nothing about me. I am not a do-or-die Democrat - I have voted for many Republicans - when I liked them. Trust me, I'd hate Bush/Rove/Cheney if they were Democrats.
I was in Vietnam, okay? I know from not being appreciated. If that was your point, I missed it. My point is we shouldn't be mis-using these guys patriotism and bravery - In Iraq I see too many similarities to Vietnam.
Do I salute these guys? ABSOLUTELY. It just saddens me that for the ones that died, the question unanswered is why?
I want our military to be used to safeguard our country, not wage offensive wars - Afghanistan was justified, Iraq is not. It's the USE of our military I'm upset about, not the people serving. If you're saying we have great people in the military, I'm with you.[?]
