Let's see -- criticizing Bush hurts the troops
criticizing the war hurts the troops.

criticizing chicken hawks hurts the troops.

offering suggestions to end this quagmire hurts the troops.

appearing on The Daily Show hurts the troops.

calling for a redeployment/withdrawal hurts the troops.

laughing at Bush make a fool of himself hurts the troops.

calling Cheney a liar hurts the troops.

calling Cheney a war profiteer hurts the troops.

watching MST3K while smoking a big fat doobie and washing it down with white wine hurts the troops.

eating chocolate while buck naked on a Saturday night hurts the troops.

grilling a thick t-bone outside in the wintertime hurts the troops.

See where I'm going with this?

If these "troops" are so fragile, what the fuck are they doing in Iraq?

Edited on Tue Dec-06-05 06:52 PM by Angry Girl
We must make do with "reality" TV shows "discussions". :-)

Oh, no! I guess we have to stop doing that too, because apparently it hurts the troops! Quick, turn your TVs to the 700 Club!

13. Excellent thought!
And I'd like to see it verbalized by every Dem who finds themselves on TV talk shows, quoted in the press, etc., to whit:

"American troops are the best in the world. They have a job to do, and will do it regardless of any debate taking place here at home. The troops are also smart enough to recognize when someone is playing politics, and when someone has their best interest at heart. Those who portray the American soldier as a fragile flower who has to be coddled and spoken to in a certain way UNDERMINE the best fighting men and women on the planet."

Well said, CatWoman!

19. The eating chocolate thing could do some damage
The rest of it is just so much BS....they want to hold hostage to our troops; who for the most part we support.

Blind support for all that is done by the troops does nothing but diminish our principles. There have been some bad shit done over there...to deny that is not to understand war...because in war some terrible acts are committed...we cannot support those acts...or this illegal war..

again I might reconsider the eating chocolate thing that could be over the line.

21. Telling the troops not to eat that plastic turkey

Telling the troops the mission isn't really accomplished hurts the troops?

22. Some of our
beast centrist fiends in the democratic party would say that just asking these questions is dangerous. Hurts the troops. Might kill fetuses that are considering a career in the army. Helps the enemies. You know, those "Mussolini-muslims"! Burns flags. Bad to burn flags, Cat Woman. Maybe you have forgotten 9-11 at your communinst cell meetings, what with you mixing white wine and black chocolate, and giving weed to unsuspecting children.

29. It would, indeed.
VP Cheney would declare that a threat to democracy everywhere. I think he made clear that debate is a good thing, so long as we all agree. Now that is democracy. It's good for the troops.

25. Apparently the only thing that DOESN'T hurt the troops....
is sending them on a foolish, ill-planned, never-ending military mission without adequate equipment or leadership.

Bushco sure does support the troops. :eyes:

26. Obviously we need troops that won't crumble emotionally when we
criticize the idiot in chief. Actually, I think we already have those troops, it's just that the WH doesn't realize it. Something about the last refuge of tyrants, or something like that.

27. But
apparently having Fred Phelps holding signs that say "Thank God for 9/11" and "God Hates America" isn't hurting them

31. The troops didn't come up with the plan
When we criticize the plan, it's not the troos we're criticizing. It's the chickenhawk incompetents we're criticizing.

Murtha was a troop for fuck's sake. And if the brass in the military wasn't afraid of loosing their jobs, they'd be more vocal in their criticism too.

The military is nearly broken. And Bush was the last to play with it.

How is breaking the military supporting it?
