I'll agree that one can disagree with a particular mission from a political standpoint. However, the article is about the troops and I have been referring to the military, and not politicians. It is disingenuous to claim to support our military if you then turn around and do not support their mission and their efforts in accomplishing that mission. That's the sort of back-door undermining that the RATS do, and I'll for one, have no part of it.

Do I think Klinton was right in dragging us into Kosovo at the request of the United Neuters? No. Do I support our troops, and their mission there. Hell Yes.

=========================================

We are probably closer to agreement than not. The difference as I see it is that the mission is too often politically motivated and not militarily necessary. I use Kosovo as an example because I've been there with the troops at Camp Bondsteel and in the Pristina area. Once we leave the killing will begin, picking up where it left off, and the reason we are there to begin with was for clinton's political purposes.

As for supporting the troops, I don't stand on street corners and have my picture taken, my activities are a little less public. But, I have raised well over $25k for the wounded at WRAMC through the site referred to in my tag. My wife and I have also gathered and delivered in excess of $10K worth of winter clothing for the families of the 10th Mtn Div. I could post a picture of these deliveries but that would be self-aggrandizing, not my style. I can talk about these here and still remain anonymous, although some freepers do know who I am because they have contributed to our efforts.
