our troops

We're not all in 'the coalition' in iraq, let alone americans, you know! You need to be more specific if you're wanting to start a good thread.

Or, if you're trolling, you can fuck off :)

Well, your troops (I'm assuming America) or my troops (Canada)? I support my troops, hell I'll go as far as to say I'll support your troops. Do I support the decisions to go to war, no, but that does not mean I'll abandin those who feel it is their duty to protect their nation.

Just not the war. I want the troops in America, where protecting our freedoms includes protecting us from the damn Ruskies.

If you're speaking of American military personnel, I support them totally. Just because politicians sometimes utilize them on ill-considered missions does not mean that they deserve less than 110% respect and support.

Your poll is lacking. What about those who do not support troops? Or is this one of those "vote my way or don't vote at all" things?

If your troops are the ones who invaded a sovereign country against international laws and use torture on a regular basis, my answer is: not at all.

If you are speaking of other troops, the answer will very likely be "no", but depends of whose troops, of course ;)

Wo wo wo, hold on a minute there... I wholly agree with you on the torture part- the ones who took part in that are a bunch of idiots and deserve no recognition for serving any country- but international law? The U.S. Government saw a threat (yes, based on seemingly faulty intelligence, but let's not get into that), and reacted for the protection of the people (not to mention taking out Saddam, which I think he fully deserved). To my understanding the U.S. went to the U.N. but the U.N. declined to help us. Based on that and what the situation in Iraq was like at that time, it seems to me that protection of the relatively innocent and liberation of the Iraqis from a corrupt dictator is better than accepting a "no" and then proceeding to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Just a thought.

I assume that in my case this will be the Irish troops, who I support 110% as they go about their wonderful peacekeeping ways.

I really am laughing my ass off at the amount of people crying over the bias.... I should have included an "I'm a commie" option and really kicked the hornets nest.

I support troops that go about peacekeeping in many places in the world. Like Afghanistan (that excludes the Americans of course because they're not peacekeeping, they're hunting windmills) and Kosovo, in Africa, on Haiti and so on.

But that is because they are doing something worthwhile, not because they are troops. Just because someone joins the army they don't automatically deserve respect...indeed you could even make an argument to the contrary.

We're crying because there are actually people here who believe this. And you could have at list given AtB some credit somewhere.

There's nothing like obscure reference to give way to a good joke for two people to enjoy. You're right, we're all dimwits for not being familiar with paperback American classics.
In a sense, the problem with your post is still on the wall. Think about it: most people here (including I) were insulted that you assume "ours" is a perfect synonym of "us Americans". The book reference maintains the very same suspicion of cultural imperialism.

I don't think everyone believed it- maybe I'm just speaking for myself but just responding honestly isn't necessarily believing.
