>> So is it Ok with you that our soldiers act like, and are, terrorists?

This post is absolutely offensive to those of us who have kids who served in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. They weren't murdering or acting like terrorists. They were doing their jobs they way millions of American soldiers have done over the last 200+ years. They put their lives on the line every single day, so that nutjobs like you can speak your mind without retribution and have a bit of personal freedom you wouldn't otherwise have.

You may not understand why these wars were necessary, but there is a lot you don't understand. My kid spent a year in Iraq driving around that god-forsaken place in a vehicle designed to take an IED hit so that lesser-equipped vehicles didn't get it. It is hard, nerve-wracking work that takes something special. You ought to be grateful someone is willing to do it.

This blame America bullshit really gets old with some of us. We were attacked, and while you may lack the intellectual capacity to see the obvious, many people comprehend the necessity of the response. While people argue about whether the war(s) were necessary, when the decision is made, there are only a relative few who are willing to put their lives on the line.

You damned well ought to respect them instead of putting them in the category of these slimeballs who killed 3,000 innocent Americans.
