Paradox

You make it sound like it's the troops choice to invade wherever the hell they want. They didn't choose to invade Iraq. Bush made them go over there. Don't blame the troops for bankrupting our country. They're just told where to invade by the president. If you must blame someone, blame Bush. He's the one that made the decision to invade Iraq in the first place

If it wasn't for the troops, we wouldn't be free. We gained our freedom from the Declaration of Independance and the Revolutionary War. If we had lost the revolutionary war and other wars after that, who knows what our country would be like. We wouldn't be free, that's for sure. And how exactly have our freedoms been taken away? If there was a draft, you'd be right, but all the soldiers in Iraq right now are there because they VOLUNTEERED. They knew what they were getting into before signing up. They knew they were putting there lives on the line, but they did it to protect and insure that America's freedom is kept safe. Sure we're a huge and powerful country, but that's partly due to the wars we've won. We won the wars because of our troops.

Sure they're fighing under Bush's reasons, but that dosn't at all mean they're not fighting for our country. Bush sent them there to protect our country, to do what he thinks is best so technically, they are fighting for our country. I think what he thinks is best is stupid, but he's the president so I can't do anything about it.

Could you at least give our troops some respect? They're out there dying right now so we keep our freedom. I agree that it doen't make someone right if someone joins the army, but like I've said, that's not their choice. When you join the army, you're most likely gonna shoot some people to protect or country. If you don't want to shoot people, don't join the army! Sure there are other ways to protect innocent people, but "joining the army and shooting people" has worked pretty well for the last 300 some years(going back to the 1700s).
