But I also think that many fear that our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines will tow the line when that day comes and not buck the order (ie. Opperation Garden Plot).<br /> Regardless, its a thought provoking work and as always I enjoy your work.

I think we can all agree on that. Thank you. Let me clarify,

Our soldiers enlist to service by choice. In peace time, this is is great choice for many young people who desire an education and the other benefits the military offers. They are also aware of the possibility that they may need to engage in war time activities. They can not get upset because they are asked to do a job they signed up for and I believe most soldiers are not. <br /> We, the USA, are the most powerful country in the world. The possibilities that we would lose that power are incomprehensible.<br /> Our country would be not only attacked but life as we know it would be over.<br /> We won our freedoms from fighting for them. We are a country because we fought to maintain and defend them. We all want the freedom of speech, religion, and choice, yet take them for granted by protesting the very way we got them.<br /> If people really want peace and for the USA to \"pull out\" and \"send our troops home\" then they should stand by and support them and at least take a little pride in what we do have and educate themselves on foreign policy. If the USA pulls out of Iraq and brings those troops home it will send a message to the entire world that we are weak and our word is not good.<br /> It sends a message to our allies that they can not count on us and it sends a huge message to our enemies that we will not stand up for ourselves or our allies. What is the message to those who lost a loved one or troops that are now disabled? That they fought for nothing? That the people in our country that exercise daily the very freedoms they fought for are cheering their loss?<br /> Very sad!<br /> <br /> <br /> Ok I am sure I am in the minority here when it comes to feelings on the war and soldiers, etc but since you ask…

We, the USA, are the most powerful country in the world. The possibilities that we would lose that power are incomprehensible.
Our country would be not only attacked but life as we know it would be over.
We won our freedoms from fighting for them. We are a country because we fought to maintain and defend them. We all want the freedom of speech, religion, and choice, yet take them for granted by protesting the very way we got them.

It sends a message to our allies that they can not count on us and it sends a huge message to our enemies that we will not stand up for ourselves or our allies.

Very sad!

Only wanting to see what they want and the rest of the people are wrong. But thats one FREEDOM some take for granted(Speech).
