Is someone really going to mock this? You can doubt Bush's agenda in this whole thing but not the fact that these guys are risking their lives.

hey thats what they are paid for, to stop a bullet for us.
No one forced them to join up. :)

Anyone who risks their own life for Bush's moronic personal vendetta are idiots.

oh hell there she goes again.... Don't you have a life woman?

This page is stupid. Our men and women in the armed forces are not. I mean, if you're sitting in a tank on a 100 degree day in afghanistan, do you really give a fark to read on some website that Joe Blow in Pig's Bottom, Arkansas says thanks?

Can someone post the mailing addresses for servicepeople? You know, the "Any US service person," APO or whatever, something like that? If you really want to say thanks, drop a note to that address.

Thanks alot for the clap motherfarker.

Dear Soldier/Soldierette,
Sarcastic: Thanks for being so homophobic and pussified that the thought of someone checking out your ass in the showers makes you so scared that you can't perform your duties.
Heartfelt: Thanks for getting in the way of bullets for me so that I can suck dick in relative comfort and enjoy films such as "Marine Barracks Gloryholes Parts 1-6" in relative comfort and security.
Love,
EmJSea

(There, that should be enough napalm to get a good flame war started on fark.)

*putting popcorn in the microwave*

You guys just scream patriotic, grow up and find something worth wile to complain about. At least the troops over seas are doing something other then talking smack on a web site.

I guess you got your answer

I am sorry for the guys that are out there getting shot and killed. thats about it.

defendamerica.mil... you realize they don't defend anything; just go about blowing things uo that have nothin to do with them; right?

Now, now, I'm against the war in Iraq too but the people that would be fighting it aren't the ones calling for it. Save your anger for Dubya and Co.

Oh yea .. and great job in getting Osama...

what.. we didn't get him... oh...

well have fun killing civies in Iraq, Bush is going to make sure that the oil will be coming.

Freedom isn't free.

Last I heard, that program had been cancelled due to security concerns. DOD was concerned that unsolicited mail from all corners of the globe could be used to send BIO/CHEM agents to soldiers/sailors. Sort of like the ANTRHAX panic last year. This generic form letter is the answer they came up with. They also cancelled the Dear Abby Dear Soldier/Sailor program for the same reasons.

Yes it does mean a lot. When I was in Desert Sheild / Storm over Christmas, New years, and my birthday of 1990-1991, it meant the world when we got cards from school kids, total strangers, etc. It helps out moral a lot, and gives us the reassurance that the folks from home are backing us.

Tell me about it FLYAIRDAVE. $19.95 for FREEDOM! Man, I remember when you could get TWO for like 25 cents!

I sure don't like what some of you are saying, but I swore an oath to defend (with my life if need be) your right to say it.

</my two cents>

You people make me sick with your stupidity. Do you really think enlisted men and women call the shots? Your probably the same people who spit on Vietnam veterans.

A kid joins up under Clinton to get money for college and before he knows it Dubya is using him settle a personal vendeta. That's why you should feel sorry for 'em.

I would like to send my thanks to the soldiers, and my extreme contempt to the far left.

Does anyone know if joining the marines is worth it for a sense of adventure and fun? I'm sick of sitting in a cubicle all day...

Good luck invading Poland...er Checkoslova...ah..oh.. Just zeig heil

Anyone who risks their own life for Bush's moronic personal vendetta are idiots.

So they should have all quit the second Bush took office? People who join the military swear an oath to serve. U.S. military officers are trained to follow lawful orders and to disobey unlawful orders (like "Bomb that pre-school" or "Kill those prisoners" or "Rape those villagers"). It is not their place to make policy decisions.

When the political leadership sucks, military members can show their disapproval by getting out--which is what they did during the Clinton/Gore years.

Although I do feel sorry for them, at the same time I think it's ridiculous that they are so shocked they aren't just playing war games before college, but might actually be shot at and killed. Part of it is the fault of military recruiters, but people have to take personal responsibility at some point. However it does suck that American's are going to have to die so that we have a nice flow of oil to fill up the gas tanks of other Americans' SUVs.

Everyone who posted in this thread deserves a good pistol whipping.

Look the lefty asses are showing there patriotism, by blasting the soldiers that defend there cowardly asses.

Lefty cowards! Please leave the country if you do not like it so much. I am sure Saddam will give you a gun so you can stand up to the great satan.

Hey Harmonia

A. see Sqee's post after yours. sum's it up nicely.

B. I think as someone from outside this country, you have no right (regardless of your numerous obnoxious quotes, facts, etc.) to critize the people of our country for defending it and/or it's beliefs.

C. An awful lot of the people in our military join because we WANTED to, because this is the greatest country to live in for all it's faults, and it's a little thing called patriotism. Too bad you can't understand THAT. What've you done for your country lately?

Whew, that's the best parody of knee-jerk conservative I've ever seen around here. Thanks for the laugh.

I just push them out of there wheelchairs and kick em a few times.

Indenture... so what you are saying is that it would be bad for soldiers to quit because Bush sucks, but it was okay for them to quit because Clinton sucked?

Dancingshoes, yeah nothing better than beating cripples.

ICEHOUSE: I was there (Desert Storm). Yeah, the cards from "Goat-rope Arkansas 3rd grade class" were cool. We used to send back all kinds of stuff to kids. Photo's of the ship, trinkets and doo-dads.

Hey, I have a bright idea...Let's shiat on the cops and firemen while were at it...Merry Christmas!

99.9% of you should be taken out back to the woodshed, shot, and left for the dogs.

Harmonia, I wasn't aware that US troops in WWII signed up for college money.

anyone who joins the MILITARY for college money and doesn't think there's the possibility they're going to go to war, probably isn't smart enough for college anyways.

Sqee... I bet you would like to pistol whip us yourself. Sick bastard. Why aren't you locked up yet?

With people like Goatman and Harmonia, is it any wonder americans give 2 shiats what foreigners think?

Luckly I've done enough traveling in my life to know that you two would be laughed at and shunned in your own countries, except for the fellow wanna-bes you hang with.

Oh ya, and have a merry christmas, I hope mommy and daddy get you everything you asked for.

"Of course people don't like war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

yea.. doesn't even matter if they are vets.
CRIPPLE FIGHT!

but seriously tho its not the soliders who just follow the orders we should be slagging.

i clicked on this link thinking "hey, it's christmas, these guys/gals don't make policy, if you can spend a few seconds to make someones day a little bright why not do it"

then i see all see these

hope your death in Iraq will be quick and not painful

seriously, go to hell.

Hansonator... typical stupid American with your insipid reaction to shoot anyone who doesn't agree with your views.

To leftists: hell we don't need an army at all, they make bad decisions anyway, they screw up our economy, let's just let Abdah Mohammed farking take over our country and fark our wives and fark our children and take every thing we've ever worked for in our entire lives. Besides, peace is the way to true freedom in this world.

No, free speach is fine, which is why I'm NOT one of the many who tell you off on a regular basis. Most of your arguements are ridiculous enough that no one really takes them seriously.

HOWEVER. While we may rag on other countries, I cannot recall us EVER critizing the individuals in YOUR country, of which you obviously are NOT, who do take the risk of joining their military to defend their country should the worst ever happen.

Et tu brute?

Harmonia.."Personal abuse, a republican alternative to argument since 1850!"

I'm not republican, now go play while the grown ups talk.

I hate war, but things would be a lot different around here with NO military.

If the military is defending freedoms why are they overseas? They should be defending you all from your own politicians who are daily eroding your freedoms for the sake of security (and filling thier pockets with more greenbacks)...

GratefulDead, no pistol, no whipping. Hitting me with a rifle would be a whumping.

MC_500foot_Nietzsche, sure why not? Then after I'm done someone would need to whip me.

Harmonia, I don't understand your post? Are you onc egiant claiming I'm right wing? I'm not, I'm just anti-human.

Don't take it out on the grunts in the military. They signed up to defend America, not to be cannon fodder for Bush's ego.
