The right thing to do is, choose the right president and bring our troops back, who are away from their families and from a normal life.
  • Justin125, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Nice HL2 plug.
  • boXEDUPmaniac, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1i only clicked because of the picture.
    • Ricky81682, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1I buried because of the inaccurate picture. Don't cheap a real topic with nonsense like that.
  • MattFromSeattle, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2These brave men and women are serving our country in a ***** war, only to have our government give them false hopes and strike it down over and over again. The least that these soldiers deserve is a firm date to come home to friends and family. And what will these service men and women do about this? They'll continue to do their jobs and serve with honor...more than the government can say for itself.
    • Ricky81682, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2FYI, this is Afghanistan, the "badly run" war, not Iraq, the "***** war."
  • Ricky81682, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Never fear folks! John McCain will be visiting the area soon and the army of personnel sent to protect him will just get to miss their families for another few months!
  • yellowcakewalk, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2Sympathy for those that fell for the propaganda, only to realize it when they were already in uniform.
    • NuclearDruid, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1When we all signed the papers, the government has complete control over our lives, and this was explained to me thoroughly. Even after servicing in the military, the government can call on you to serve again. There's also something called Stop-Loss, which extends how long you serve for.
