A few weeks ago when I was getting my hair cut, my hair dresser received a phone call informing her that a young man from our area, someone her niece once dated, had been killed in Afghanistan. Another customer in the shop at the time had just gotten back from visiting her son who had recently returned from Iraq. It was very sad, and we all got choked up. I wonder if there is a site where people can send season greetings and best wishes to people who have had loved on killed overseas? If someone knows, please post the info or a link here.

Thank you to our troops.

Gal,

Thanks for posting this. I also took the address you gave for Walter Reed. Here I'll post it again here; in case anyone missed it.

When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include the following:

A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue,NW
Washington,D.C. 20307-5001

If you approve, please pass it on.

Sometimes it the simple gestures in life that can be so meaningful to others.

PAX

Lord Bless and Protect our soldiers. Keep them from harm. Fill their hearts with strength and hope. And allow the day to come when people will no longer need guns nor and bombs to settle disputes.

If they would defend my nation and my liberty, I would.
But they dont. They concern themselves with hostile takeovers and the murder of innocents, then claim justification, because they have a right to defend themselves from the people that they would murder.
And of course, far too many think they are doing gods work.
And I'd like to give a special "fuck you" to those that operate missile armed drones from thousands of miles away.
Yeah, you're a real hero.
NOT.

You guys dont realize how great it makes us feel when we get things such as this. It's a real morale booster.

Gitmboy,

I have a couple of friends in the field artillery that need the grid of your house location, they would like to return your "fuck you"....

Gitmboy (the "boy" says it all), you should be ashamed of yourself. Maybe someday you will be a real man (but I doubt it).

so much for freedom of speech, right boys?

YEAH!

Cause an E-Card says; I'm a Lazy Fuck Who is Sending this Empty Gesture to Make it Look Like I Care!

Now where is my cheap gas and which way to wal-mart!

Real sacrifice is beyond most americans!

I'm in favor of sending in robots to do the fighting for us, Gitmboy. Less bloodshed is better, just as long as the other side gets the point. Governments seem to only care about the loss of money, anyway, so I wonder if bloodless wars involving destruction of robots are possible.

Hey Gitmboy,

I think Jack Nicholson said it best when it comes to people of your ilk, 'I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to.'

So how about it, do you feel lucky?

Yes, he has a right to be a rude idiot who thinks his shit doesn't stink and we have a right to show him otherwise.

well you cyber "rough boys" certainly showed him!

This is a great idea! Thanks.

Great idea! Our troops are fighting for this country and it's beliefs. Even is Bush is turning his back on us.

I support the troops but wonder about the leaders ethics. It might be years before we know if Bush did good or totally screwed up the war.

Despite Gitmoboy, I'd still give my life to preserve freedom in the country he lives in.

If they would defend my nation and my liberty, I would.
But they dont. They concern themselves with hostile takeovers and the murder of innocents.......

Trust me, the soldiers laying the hospital beds this Holiday season are hardly the policy makers.

They are EXACTLY the ones defending your liberties. No, not in Iraq, but then again, they don't get to choose their missions.

Rethink that garbage you posted before dumping shitty policy decisions at their feet.

Freedom of speech?

He's trying to lay the Iraqi blunder on the troops who are laying in Hospital beds. Like I said before, these troops DO NOT MAKE POLICY!

Freedom of speech is alive and well, but that doesn't mean I can't point out some obvious flaws with his logic.

everyone is special...& in times of crises ~ deserving of compassion ~ regardless of crimes committed that they may have been committed ~ eventually anyway.

This is putting God's great love for you as Soul in action to share it with others in need ~ like the wounded soldiers in the various hospitals all over the world.

Doctors w/o Borders work from this sort of compassion as well.

"..regardless of crimes committed that they may have committed ~ eventually anyway."

Wonder if the Gaza is on their list yet, though?

Iraqi, American, anyone the soldier doesn't like and we see the answer.

It appears the devotion to our officers doesn't necessarily show honor.

If they would defend my nation and my liberty, I would.

The real question here is who is they?

As I understand what is being said here I don't agree with it.

It does beg the question of how the troops feel they are defending OUR nation in iraq. What have the politicians done, convoluted the weak minds of soldiers into thinking they are in some way protecting America by killing iraqis.

I'd still give my life to preserve freedom in the country he lives in.

I agree...

If you actually believe the statement I made (that we wanted to send steel to his house), you are dumber than the statement sounds..

convoluted the weak minds of soldiers into thinking they are in some way protecting America by killing iraqis.

In my weak minded opinion,

I have seen the fear of a suicide bomb destroying people. I often wonder, could it happen in the U.S.? Of course it could! And by people more willing to kill civilians than any Timothy McVeigh. Imagine several bombs going off in Malls all over the U.S. Imagine the teens and elderly in those malls. I personally believe it is coming here one day. If me going overseas helps to prevent that, then so be it. Opponents who believe we arent protecting america dont have very much foresight. One day that terrorism will cross the oceans and come here. Will the pacifists liberals bend? Probably. Just like england is doing now with Islamic courts. That type of Islam is violent and evil. We must fight it at all costs. Our very way of life is at stake.

As a Soldier, I always equated Iraq to nearly every other war the U.S. fought in foreign lands. That is to say, we bring the fight to the enemy thereby keeping it out of the U.S.
By defeating an enemy of the U.S., we make the U.S. a safer place for the citizens we serve.
The U.S. went into Iraq defeat an enemy of U.S. interests...to seize WMDs that threatened U.S. interests. None were ever found but, there was bi-partisan agreement that there was WMDs and it should be done at the time.

I don't pick the enemy. I don't pick the place. I follow orders and do what I'm trained to do without hesitation. I don't think the citizens of the U.S. would want me to be any other way.

DAMMIT Libertarian GI, you are about to motivate me! HOOOAH!

hence perhaps the current question mark in the latest war brewing on this particular little orb circling the sun...

Mumbai attack: Was Nariman House the terror hub?
