Our leaders should value the lives of the servicemen more, and not send them into unjustifiable wars.
And, when the need arises and they are sent into a conflict, they should be provided with the best equipment and supplies that we can possibly provide
them with, even if it means the rest of us have to sacrifice a little.....even the corporate and political elite.
And, while our servicemen and women are overseas, fighting this war, they should be confident that their families, and their country are secure back
home....
And, they shouldn't be used as bargaining chips in the halls of congress, just so stupid laws that have no support can be crammed down our
throats!!!
Which leads me to ask.....who isn't supporting our troops? Who lied about the reasons for the war. Who failed to delivers the needed equipment,
while giving tax breaks to his friends and buddies? Who is it that diminishes our security by refusing to prevent the enemy from walking into our
country and who's dividing our country with their "for us or against us" rhetoric and accusations of "unpatriotic" and "traitors".......
And who is it that inserts those stupid little laws that lack support into the bills that gives them the funds for their equipment and supplies.
There are thousands of groups and organizations that go around the world and build schools, provide medical treatment, install water systems,
ect....
The US Armed Forces are our warriors, our guardians sworn to protect us.
For them to build the schools, or hospitals, ect is only a very small part of their job...if it should even be considered their job at all...
By the way, Iraq had schools, hospitals, and elections during Saddam's rule.
