We are in agreement then. It's just that you support the war, and I don't.

I don't consider myself Anti-American by holding these views.

We are?

Why should I root for the US soldiers to win a mission that I don't believe in?

That does not sound like support for our troops to me.

For me, or for Bush's goals? If it's for me, then I say to them, don't risk your life for a stupid cause. Just come back home.

You are kidding right? I mean you actually think that they can just walk out? and because you are suggesting that you think that is support?

You have a VERY skewed view of things.

No I can't say that we are in agreement. You just want our people to come home and pretend that nothing happened.
Just come home to your families and everything will be ok. Sorry pal ain't gonna happen.

I on the other hand I support them no matter what...aside from pulling war crimes like leveling a village for no reason , and no this conflict does not constitute a war crime.

you do realize that MANY of them look at like this..."if we leave now then our fallen brothers will have died in vain"

So no, they just can't walk away.

Read what I quoted as us being in agreement about. You said you can't both support the troops and be against the war. I agree. It's just that I don't support the war. Hence I don't support the troops. QED

There is a choice:

Soldier Says He's Conscientious Objector

how convienent he says this AFTER the war starts.

He is a pathetic fool and a coward.
