The government should take better care of our troops away and at home. That would be the biggest thank you of all.

I agree totally with you. I sent each of them a comment on how disgusting and desperate they make themselves sound. I told them to take it somewhere else because we (other readers) do not want to read their trash. There are websites that cater to that stuff. They need to get off of this comment page and move over to the skanks website trolling for sloppy seconds and more.
The comments or replies to the subject regarding the armed forces overseas is being discussed. The last thing I want to see/read is those 2 a**holes pimping out themselves and trying to make everyone believe that they are something when they are nothing but scum at the bottom of the barrel. So maybe the rest of us readers should all send those two idiots an order to get the hell out.
I am not in the military of any kind, but I do have friends that are there or friends that have one or more of their loved ones there. I am proud of them. I will do what I can to show my support, and I do plan on sending cards out even if they do not know who I am. I am sure that just getting something in the mail from someone letting them know that they are appreciated and wish them a safe and speedy return home. I am sorry to ramble on, but when I get upset and angry, I tend to get very verbal.

My thoughts exactally....................bring them all home

i think you're supposed to seperate them.

Dear Soldier,
Thank you for my car, my house, my family, my life. You sacrifice time away from your family to risk your life so I can have the freedom to decide every aspect of my life. My life and achievements only exist because of your brave sacrifice. You are in my prayer and not a day goes by that I don't appreciate all you do for me, my family and all Americans. I do care about you and I do know where you are and why. Thank You, Thank God For You and God Bless You.

Sincerely,
Your Name

Yes it would be nice to send them a ticket home, but the way I see it in my mind is that sending them a ticket home refers to wishing them a safe return when it is their turn to come home. You are right, they made the choice to go over, but you are wrong about they can make the choice to leave. They can't leave whenever they want. They have to serve their term, and then they can come home or re-up. So the term used is a metaphor, in hopes of a safe return for all of those that are there. Not all words are to be taken literally, maybe you should read the comment first to see if it is to be taken literally or symbolically. I bet that if you were there, you would appreciate receiving a card from someone wishing you well, and that people are thinking of you, and pray that you are kept safe so you could come home to your loved ones. Think about it...

I am in the military. Once you sign your name you do as your told not what you want. We might want to go home but we cant'.All the research you do will never prepare you for a life in the military. All that person was trying to say was that it would be nice if the troops were home for the holidays instead of overseas. I know plenty of military members that would love to receive cards for the Holidays. Sending cards is a nice thing to do.

Thanks for serving! God bless all you Nam vets (and, of course, ALL who have served our country). My ex-hubby is a Nam vet and unfortunately I lived through that time of disgrace in our country due to the way we treated you guys/gals. We can't "undo" the past, sad to say. Just please know that there are MANY of us who are grateful for your service, and for your return. I was 19 at the time he served and sent "care" packages over with cookies and all the goodies. They arrived in crumbs but the guys didn't care! God bless you all!

UPDATE,....Barry Obama is President....get in the game kid.....your head is up your arse.

It may not be 'your oil war', but you could at least show a little respect for the men and women shipped out there. They are someone's father, brother, uncle, son, nephew, mother, sister, aunt, daughter or cousins. We may not like all that is going on over there, but they are there so that you can live, and eat, and fill up your gas tank, and be with your family, and not have to worry about your home being destroyed at any given moment day or night. I wish there were no more wars of any kind as everyone in it loses something, and the most precious loss of all is lives. So even if you do not agree with all of it, at least be thankful that it is not you that got sent there and wondering all the time if you will make it through the day without getting shot at or blown up or beaten or taken prisoner somewhere and tortured to death.

GO ON WELFARE LIKE THE REST OF US??? Who do you think you are talking about. If you are on it that is one thing, but to assume that when the men and women overseas and fighting to keep all of us back home safe so we never have to experience any of the sadness over there, and imply that when they come back that they are going to go on welfare like the rest of us...it sounds to me like you are just a few fries short of a happy meal. Yes this is a forum to make comments about the article being shown, but in my opinion, it sounds like you have a really low self esteem and no self respect. That being said, even though I do not know you at all, I wish you well, and I hope you can maybe one day look back on your comment, and then kick yourself in the butt for being so disrespectful and ungrateful and sad.

"PUNK" in all sence of the word,I would love to see you voice that in person go ahead just find yourself a VET, and let it roll off your tounge I
[a Marine } would love to let you do just that. and to think we ,as all military past and present give you the SCUM of the earth the abilty to to sit behind your key board and do just that.Please feel free to stand in front of the troops if not behind them.
