1. I hate the way they word polls
How could I support the war less than not at all?? Yet, saying "no change" - doesn't mean what I want it to mean. Capice?

6. I really hate the whole
"does criticism of the war at home hurt the troops?" bullshit.

Uh...roadside bombs, snipers, stop-loss, lack of quality armor, and being ignored when they return in need of counseling hurts the troops ONE HELL OF A LOT more than people back home questioning whether or not they should even be there.

God I hate AOHELL.

10. I've always hated the notion that if you question or don't support a war
That you are somehow "against the troops"

Support the troops!

Bring them HOME!

Thanks

12. That's right!!
I hate the troops...that's why I want them blown up, shot at, and coming home with so mental mental and emotional conditions that many are blowing themselves away once they're here.

Oh, wait...that's the other guys.

16. Done.
The progress question did not have a choice
for "Losing ground", so I voted "None."

18. Sometimes, I think that
the American people don't understand a god damn thing... at least anything worth knowing. (You know, something other than who's skank of the month -- and who the glitterati are banging.)

Realism is a fundament of maintaining real morale (along with tangible, real victories, realistic expectations, realistic plans, etc). Phony, false-hope and meaningless-platitude based "morale" is an illusion, a deception, a pretense, and a danger. For when reality does set in, and (it) puts an end to this phony morale, there is a real danger of a collapse (in morale).

Personally, I will continue to dissent against this tragic and treasonous misuse of our precious armed forces. And I refuse to concede one god damn inch to lying, treasonous bastards... or to the blindered herd "mind".

Not one god damn inch.

(And no, I don't put any faith in this poll... or in most others for that matter. But my fellow Americans' appalling ignorance and lack of understanding is, however, very real -- and the results are very real and tangible.)
