Comments on: AntiWar but “support the troops” hypocrites http://bearcreekledger.com/2006/08/28/antiwar-but-support-the-troops-hypocrites/ US Troop Support and Conservative Banter Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:25:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Katie http://bearcreekledger.com/2006/08/28/antiwar-but-support-the-troops-hypocrites/#comment-28696 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 04:24:44 +0000 http://bearcreekledger.com/2006/08/28/antiwar-but-support-the-troops-hypocrites/#comment-28696 What about all of the troops who don't even want to be in Iraq right now? How do you explain groups such as Iraq Veterans Against the War? Obviously they have seen something that has motivated them to work to being troops home. If we don't want people to be killed for a corrupt cause that makes us hypocrites? If you disagree with anti-war activists, can't you at least respectfully disagree or at least try to listen to their point of view instead of instantly writing them off and assuming that they don't support the war for selfish reasons? What about all of the selfish reasons that we are involved in this war in the first place? (Halliburton anyone?) Our country has become so polarized that we can't even have a civil conversation between two groups with different opinions anymore.

Did you go and read Master Gunner's post? I doubt it based on your ignorant comment. Evan, you just proved my point. Did you go and read Master Gunner’s post?

The person who makes over the top 'drive by comments' or the people who lump one group of people with them? Not all anti-war people are so idiotic, thanks. And calling them hypocrites make you look bad. Anti-War means we want to see no more troops dying for this ridiculous cause. Supporting the troops means we want to make sure they don't come home in body bags. Of course, the squeakiest wheels get the grease, so the loudmouths will speak for those who quietly know better. Take care! :) Who is worse? The person who makes over the top ‘drive by comments’ or the people who lump one group of people with them?

I saw it coming from the Left, and have been prepping for this day for a very, very long time. To be honest, I welcome it, because now we can expose the true face of the Anti-War movement. Hooah. Thanks for the kind words.
