I hate when people confuse the questions "do you agree with the war?" with "do you support our troops?". Those are totallllyy different questions. And people should ALWAYS keep in mind that probably over half of the people in the war, who are deployed, probably don't agree with the politics behind the reason why they're overseas. I like to think that yes, I definitely support our troops! I try to be politically open-minded and in August..I "adopted" two soldiers from adoptaussoldier.com! (You should do it if you don't already. It's great!) I send out letters about once a week and care packages about every month or so. It feels AWESOME to feel like you're helping out. I couldn't imagine what it feels like to be at war, away from your family & everything you've come to know as "home"..So I think we all definitely owe it to them.

Hey, I could never be in the army or whatever i think they should be taken better care of, should have more control, and be paid way more. I couldn't of said it better myself! Its so awesome of you to do that for them... it tells me a lot about what kind of person you are. Thank yo for doing that! i'm going to that website right after I'm done typing this out and i hope everyone else does too!

I absolutely support our troops! The war itself is a moot point. We're there. We will probably always have to maintain a military presence in the Middle East at this time. I come from a military family. Six of which have been deployed at least three times. They basically support the incentive as long as it is effectively fighting terrorism. Whatever misinformation got us into the situation doesn't in anyway detract from the integrity of our soldiers.
