I'm also curious to see if this takes hold. I'll be on the lookout on Fridays.<br /><br />I think that, in the main, our military acts with honor. It is not their job to <i>choose the mission</i>, but to execute the orders they have sworn to obey. No military can function otherwise. In choosing their sworn duty over personal feelings, they serve with honor and dignity.<br /><br />As for those who chose the mission, especially those who may have <i>profited</i> by it, I think Chesterton said it best:<br /><br /><i>It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged.</i>Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-89852187983522331242010-01-24T18:42:11.038-08:002010-01-24T18:42:11.038-08:00theangrybear-- Well said, beautiful and angry bear...theangrybear-- Well said, beautiful and angry bear.

I do not believe that speaking up for my beliefs is a sign of disrespect, and neither did the man I dated. He spent a year in Afghanistan and will be deployed again, and yet fully supported my distress about the decision to continue sending troops to war. In fact, he himself feels it is a war we should not be part of, although he is committed to his job. While I have no patience for people making ugly comments about those who are in the military who are doing what they believe to be right, I have equally little patience for the "agree or shut up" approach. (Ananda, I am not directing this to you - I get the impression that you respect my beliefs as I do yours.)secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-5656663964242085032010-01-24T18:31:56.641-08:002010-01-24T18:31:56.641-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-647474495104862822010-01-24T15:19:47.845-08:002010-01-24T15:19:47.845-08:00Well said.

Home to a place that they didn't recognize. I was very immature at the time. I didn't make their lives easier. For that, I am ashamed. It was only after having talked to endless Vets that I learned what their personal stories were. Some who "survived" will never be the same.<br />I'm not going to make the mistake again. Their job is worse than others. But their job puts them in the line of real fire.<br />Please. This Dove asks others to for once, reel it in and respect what Ananda has asked us to do.

I WILL SUPPORT THE TROOPS, my childhood friends- those twin brothers who have been in the war zone numerous times. While I do not agree with the war, I do know that soldiers are not idiots- its their job. I think more people need to realize that it is an occupation that provides money and education towards their own future which for some is not otherwise possible and that they only do what their bosses tell them to do. Respect what they do and keep your mouths shut if you don't agree with their cause.Who cares? Do not disrespect these men and women for if it were not for people like them our country would not be the same as it is today. I support the troops 100% and will until they are all back hime again!

He showed up an hour and a half early. I guess I should be flattered, but I am more bothered. Yesterday's date showed up half an hour early. I am an exactly on time sort of person. But I guess its nice that they are eager to meet with me.

I care, but as a Quaker, wearing red on Fridays to support the military would not be in keeping with my spiritual convictions. I grieve for the soldiers and I certainly do not revile them (and in fact, recently dated and cared deeply about someone in the military), but I'd like to see us committed to more peaceful means of resolving conflicts.secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-47897786350091647502010-01-24T05:47:02.804-08:002010-01-24T05:47:02.804-08:00Bless you, you tried.Bless you, you tried.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829654052477005676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-1410274358217786642010-01-24T04:12:53.707-08:002010-01-24T04:12:53.707-08:00Trekkies don't wear red shirts, it's dange...Trekkies don't wear red shirts, it's dangerous.<br /><br />Also, be careful when you are wearing your red shirt while shopping at Target. They don't have a uniform anymore, they just wear any old red shirt and a name tag. So the customers will see you in your red shirt and not notice that you don't have a name tag and just assume that you work there and ask you all sorts of stupid questions.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-53478726907037007382010-01-23T19:09:58.099-08:002010-01-23T19:09:58.099-08:00I'm turning in early, you'll have to play ...I'm turning in early, you'll have to play and argue with others for the rest of the evening. <br /><br />Sweet dreams....BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-32621321742978434762010-01-23T18:10:44.092-08:002010-01-23T18:10:44.092-08:00You're a sweet lady, but you don't recogni...You're a sweet lady, but you don't recognize good advice when it is kicking you in the ass. :-)BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-47928354009099405262010-01-23T18:00:45.790-08:002010-01-23T18:00:45.790-08:00I'm thinking that if Bear gave you good advice...I'm thinking that if Bear gave you good advice that you wouldn't follow it either. :-)BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-10409643421352672912010-01-23T17:59:02.360-08:002010-01-23T17:59:02.360-08:00But I know of no country that has not been trouble...<b>But I know of no country that has not been troubled by wars.</b><br /><br />That's because idiots fight them.
