Remembering Our Local Fallen Heroes Thread

[SmootSmack]

Let's try to keep politics out of the discussion here. We already have that stupid thread by the genious Crazyhorse

[MTK]

My intention was not to hijack the thread, but I guess it's just hard to remember our fallen soliders without feeling some anger and disgust. I think it's very important to remember our fallen soldiers, but at the same time I think it's equally important to continue to question why we are there and if our leaders have a plan of action to get us the hell out. We owe our soliders that type of respect too.

[MTK]

I guess we'll have to just disagree then. I think you can support the troops without supporting the cause or the leaders behind this mess. To me there's a clear difference.

And in a few years there will be heated debates about President Giuliani or Obama or whoever. Nature of the beast

However, Buster has represented one side and 12th the other. Now let's end it and get back to the original intent of the thread

Great now we're Christian bashing too.

I'm not perfect and in fact I get on my knees every night and ask forgivness from Jesus. I'm not perfect like Jesus tho I am trying I also fail because I'm simply a man.

Bash Jesus all you want Matt at the end you will answer to Him. Ya better hope you are right in your Christian bashing.

How am I bashing Jesus??

I'm just surprised that a man of faith can be so harsh in his language and reactions to his fellow man.

Seriously, man, what's the deal? Why is it always "your thread" and then F bombs start flying? I just can't get with that.

Do you think post's like buster's that'll tell people who disagree with the war that they are against the troops is fine? I am seriously asking because i don't know where you would stand on that. As of December only 37% of the country felt it was worth going to war. I am sure that number is down even more now. Are all of these people against the troops? Do we harbor ill will towards them?

I stayed away from this thread even though i really really really wanted to respond when you said this

I have two sons serving right now so I'm sorry to some folks but it's personal to me andworth 3 months to argue back for our President and Country.

I didn't post in response because of respect and the truth is no on here has said or done anything to dishonor those that have died. No one is going to ban you for supporting your country.

I honestly feel the worst thing that we can do to the troops right now is to blindly follow and support the war. That is my opinion. I don't say that those that support the war hate the troops. I believe everyone wants what is best for them and we all just have different opinions on what is best.



Again only 37% said the war was worth it in december. What "worth" do you think was measured? It is the worth of the lvies that we are losing. The worth of the lives of the friends and family most of us have in the effort. Why should we let the children of this country die for something that we don't feel is worth their lives? How does that make us less american? How does the fact that we want their lives to only be called upon when it is the last resort make us not support them??

Not one single one of you has taken the time to post even 1 local soldier which is what the thread is all about. In fact you still don't get it and continue cramming yer fricking point down my throat with longwinded BS.

And ya'll wonder why I get mad. You show such a lack of respect for even just this ONE GUY. Meet me at Arlington and you can tell his Mom all this if you think it's so dadgone important.

I would gladly post soldiers that have died for respect of them. No one else did either so don't throw the blame on me or other that disagree with the war. I think it is a great idea to respect all local soldiers that have died in a thread. The thing is i think many of us were respecting the soldier you posted and didn't understand your intention of the thread.


But i think you got it backwards, i think you all should be telling the parents of soldiers that died why THE WAR is so important. Tell those that disagree with the war that their sons and daughters are fighting because all options were expensed and this was all that was left. War is a last resort.

In fact guys email his Mother Tess. I did and this is what is in the email I got.

She has given me permission to pass on her email address ( tesswild@hotmail.com) and said that she finds the emails very comforting, and will pass them on to her son's wife as well

I mean the stuff was so important you posted in her son's thread so it must be important enough for her to hear.
