Did you ever serve in the military?

>>>900 un-necessary deaths in my opinion.

In order for morale to remain high the troops need to know two things: 1) That the cause is just and 2) That they have the support of their country in achieving that cause.

>>>May God bless all of our servicemen and women!

Folks like you that criticize the cause for which they fight and then make a statement such as this really tick me off.

The only way you can support our troops and their families (of which I am one) is to support the effort that is trying to be achieved.

Once all of our fine young men and women are home, there will be plenty of time for historical analysis of the war effort. Until then, keep your comments that suggest that those making the ultimate sacrifice are doing so in vain to yourself.

You do not represent the opinions of the troops in theatre nor that of their families. Your attempt to cover yourself with "God bless our troops" does not make your original comment any less painful to those who have more than a liberal passive interest at stake.
