I can tell you that our Government is not fighting with Iraq for our Freedom. And as for supporting our troops, I wish they were home safe. But they aren't so what I wish now is for their saftey and health. Our Government put them in that position so I disagree with The Government. How does that mean the I don't give a fuck about the troops. Your assuming a lot. And I take offense to that. If your so gunho why aren't you over there fighting for my freedom?

Our Government is us, we are the Government, it's called a democracy. Those elected officials that make up the
Governing Bodies are fellow citizens, our fellow citizens are making decisions. It's not like they are an entire different society of people, they are our fellow citizens. I am not assuming a lot, I am reading your comments throughout this thread and interpreting them into you saying, "Get the troops out and stop the war. Until you're all out of Iraq, you're not going to get my support." What I'm trying to see is that you need to realize that your comments can be interpreted in many different ways, whether the person reading them is far Left, far Right, or simply in the middle like myself. I chose not to enlist in the armed services simply because it was not something that interests me. Is that saying that I would not fight for my country, not at all. I would give my life for the cause in which we are all here today to preserve:
Freedom.
