*sigh* let me clear one valuable misconception for you. there is a big difference between pro-war and protroops. Always stand behind your troops. Never stand behind the war.
Usually it means “give the military anything they want, and don’t ask any questions about what they spend it on” with the implication that if you don’t you hate freedom.
Clearly you haven’t understood anything. I’m totally against giving anything what the military wants. these soldiers being used as pawns to thicken the political war leader pockets
The bad thing is it does mean shut the fuck up. It means maybe the guys getting shot at and their families don’t need or want to hear some ungrateful welfare case of suburban asshole sounding off about something they don’t know a damn thing about because it helps fill the void left in the life by them you know…being useless tools.
Support your troops by not being a douche/retard/homo. That’s beyond so many people though and strangely they think that makes them intellectuals when they’re the exact opposite.
Magnus is right. Saying you support the troops doesn’t change a damn thing. Vote for people that will support them now and in future, and only use them when they are absolutely needed. Right now they’re helping rich people get richer, in the name of pointless rhetoric.

America is not at war the Marines are at war.
America is at the mall.
You’re a fucking moron. Years from now when your life is even worse somehow than I’m sure it is now remember its all your own fault because you’re a moron.
If you actually took a single moment to refute an argument instead of simply lambasting the people that make them, you might have a bit more respect. Not that’s what you’re looking for, as I’m fairly positive you’re a huge troll.
I love how patriotic Americans are proud of stupid sayings. This is a fucking stupid sayings. Sayings like this make me want to the opposite of supporting our troops.
you’re a fucking retarded gook bastard. they’re not fighting for our rights and the only terrorists are them, engaged in illegal wars killing off unarmed citizens. more peaceful citizens have died in the last decade then the suspected “terrorists”. just last week nato did another airstrike that killed mostly women and children. oh well, just another day in paradise. how about putting the nato commanders responsible for shit like that on international trial for crimes against humanity? oh no, its nato, they’re good guys. fuck you all.
40 comments and we’re still talking about “The Troops” like they’re a singular object?
Supporting the troops means that you never forget the fact that, no matter how corrupt the leaders, no matter how unjust the war – in most cases, the people standing on the front lines are brave individuals who want to make a difference. Throw all the bad examples of soldiers out there that you want; they’re the exception, not the rule. Hell, I’d hesitate to even call such examples ‘troops’ at all.
That fact is entirely unrelated to the war machine and political agenda. When someone puts their interests on hold and stands up for what they feel is right, you support them.
I support the troops by opposing useless wars.
🙂 agreed!
Veteran Approved!
ive leed before and id do it again
OKAY OKAY… I’ll support the troops. Just remove that HORRIBLE font.
I support the troops coming back home.
I can TOTALLY picture Niccalo saying “They took our jobs!”
Nah I wouldn’t say that… would I?
They went into the army of their own free will, if they want us to stand in front of them as human shields doesn’t that make them the bad guys?
I believe it goes “If you won’t stand behind our troops, stand in front of them!”
Okay you’re right; I think it does.
this is an example of why you always do a rough draft first.
also, if i want the troops home and safe and out of harm’s way, is that not supporting them?
Can someone please explain to me what “supporting our troops” mean, exactly?
Does it mean being pro-war? Does it mean backing military spending? Does it mean “stfu you peace-loving hippie liberal” (don’t answer that one, Navi)?
*sigh* let me clear one valuable misconception for you. there is a big difference between pro-war and protroops. Always stand behind your troops. Never stand behind the war.
So what does standing behind the troops mean?
Usually it means “give the military anything they want, and don’t ask any questions about what they spend it on” with the implication that if you don’t you hate freedom.
Clearly you haven’t understood anything. I’m totally against giving anything what the military wants. these soldiers being used as pawns to thicken the political war leader pockets
Funky butt love.
From what I can tell, it mean you get a yellow ribbon sticker for your SUV, then vote for people who cut veterans’ benefits.
Whether in war or not, it’s letting them now that you appreciate their defense of your civil rights. Or something like that.
How often? I know I come across as a suck-up, but I don’t want to take it too far.
Oh, and when was the last time soldiers actually defended the population’s civil rights?
1783
You forgot 1812
Our military is one of the reason military action against our nation does not happen often. They defend us by existing.
Nope. That’s the nukes.
The bad thing is it does mean shut the fuck up. It means maybe the guys getting shot at and their families don’t need or want to hear some ungrateful welfare case of suburban asshole sounding off about something they don’t know a damn thing about because it helps fill the void left in the life by them you know…being useless tools.
Support your troops by not being a douche/retard/homo. That’s beyond so many people though and strangely they think that makes them intellectuals when they’re the exact opposite.
Have you ever wondered why people find it so easy to ignore you? If you want, I could teach you how to get more attention.
Funny, but the only two people I know in the active military right now ARE homos!
You should know by now I attribute homo with a type of person and not sexual preference.
Think anyone who wears a fedora.
Indiana Jones.
Magnus is right. Saying you support the troops doesn’t change a damn thing. Vote for people that will support them now and in future, and only use them when they are absolutely needed. Right now they’re helping rich people get richer, in the name of pointless rhetoric.

only idiots that join up so fuck em.
You’re a fucking moron. Years from now when your life is even worse somehow than I’m sure it is now remember its all your own fault because you’re a moron.
Abbreviated: “You’re a moron, moron!”
And ol’ butthead should know – he wrote the book on being a moron.
If you actually took a single moment to refute an argument instead of simply lambasting the people that make them, you might have a bit more respect. Not that’s what you’re looking for, as I’m fairly positive you’re a huge troll.
Respect on the internet is valuable.
I’m not so sure about that, but I think you’re entitled to some opinion. I just don’t agree with this one.
I back the troops. I got a magnet on my car don’t I?
I love how patriotic Americans are proud of stupid sayings. This is a fucking stupid sayings. Sayings like this make me want to the opposite of supporting our troops.
Support the troops and bring them home.
-ings
I would love them all to come home, we do get in a lot of BS wars, we also get asked for a lot of BS help. *shrug* it blows… Blame the politicians…
Can we just talk about how terrible this looks? I mean, that’s the creepy font I used in my Halloween newsletter in ’98.
BOOOOORIIIINNG!
Always support the troops, man.
These are the guys who go out and fight for your rights.
Don’t want to walk around in public for fear of terrorist attacks? Then support our troops cause their over there makin’ sure that it don’t happen.
you’re a fucking retarded gook bastard. they’re not fighting for our rights and the only terrorists are them, engaged in illegal wars killing off unarmed citizens. more peaceful citizens have died in the last decade then the suspected “terrorists”. just last week nato did another airstrike that killed mostly women and children. oh well, just another day in paradise. how about putting the nato commanders responsible for shit like that on international trial for crimes against humanity? oh no, its nato, they’re good guys. fuck you all.
Can’t tell if serious.
Well it seems the general consensus dislikes the post, would the mods prefer to kill it?
