Support the Troops

…I support bringing the troops home —“ today, not tomorrow or next week or next month —“ right now. I support providing the troops with gainful employment. I support allowing the troops to be conscientious objectors —“ the more the better. I support allowing the troops to leave the military —“ in droves. I support giving the troops medical treatment for their injuries. I support giving the troops mental help for emotional problems related to being in combat.

And when they are all home —“ from Iraq and everywhere else in the world —“ I support using the troops to actually patrol our coasts and guard our borders. I support the troops so much that I don’t want them sent to fight any more foreign wars.

Support the troops!

From Supporting the Troops by Laurence M. Vance as noted in A Conservative Blog for Peace.

I can’t say I agree 100% with global disengagement but the idiocy of our misadventures over the past two decades brings my thinking more in line with Mr. Vance’s.

We are like the husband in a bad relationship. We think we can provide all the answers and solutions to every problem, but we end up mucking it up all the more.
