I can't imagine what our troops go through when the voices of liberals like Cindy Sheehan call the president a worse terrorist than Osama bin Laden, Harry Reid claiming we have lost the war while troops are still on the ground, Pelosi acting like a rockstar in countries that support efforts to kill our troops or Kennedy, Biden and the others who continue to elevate presidential bashing to an art form in order to regain power in D.C.

I don't have to imagine. I hear it first hand - from my grandson - Airborne Task Force - "The Rock" - Afghanistan.

The troops are demoralized by these traitorous socialists and the media who are the best friends the terrorists have.

Our troops fear the American press and the libs in Congress as being as much an enemy and a danger of their mission as the terrorists - WE need to get that word out, loud and clear and NEVER miss a chance to let our troops know we are behind them.

Besides making a big noise and constantly emailing/faxing and phone both libs and conservatives = one as a heads up and one to lend support - as well as to all media...we can send boxes to our troops with things we take for granted, like gum, toothpaste, baby wipes, home-baked anything (that doesn't melt in 100+ weather....) magazines, books - things that let them know WE have not FORGOTTEN them...because that's the way they feel.

THEY believe in their mission. They are being shot at and mortared every day and night.

To protect our very civilization. Could we do at least this little bit to let them know we care???

to add to my post #5 - wouldn’t it be great if we so flood the mail system with boxes to the troops that it made the news? This would not only let the troops know we support them - but the traitors back here would know. There's more than one way to slap an enemy up side the head and make them grit their rotten teeth.

You can get the free Priority boxes at the post office - and then send flat rate - the cheapest -

Well said.

I don't have to "imagine" either. I've been over here for 17 months.

I only take exception with you using the word "fear", regarding the MSM and libs. "Hate" maybe but not "fear". "Enemy", definitely.

Regards
