They musta been afraid you'd break a hip.

I generally stay out of these discussions, but now kids are involved. Within reason, any parent has the right and responsibilty to instill their values in their children. Whether you choose to accept it or not, that is a big part of what our troops are fighting to protect.

Exactly Fplay!!!

How kids behave at a young age and older is in direct correlation to the amount of quality time parents spend with them...no doubt...........Parents who don't try to make other excuses,society,bad schools etc....Instead of lookin in the mirror!

And it costs too much to retrofit a wheelchair ramp into a Humvee.

Want some candy, little girl!

as the great war author Tim O'Brein said at a recent speech of his that I attended,
"If you support the War in Iraq, then go fight in the War in Iraq. If you support it, are in good shape and are old enought to fight in it, but don't fight in it, than you are a hypocrite"

That statement is incomplete. You can support our troops whether you are for the war or against it.

And there is also the case of people being too old to enlist as well. Just because you're not in favor of a war dosn't mean you can't support the troups. I think the first time I was actually embarassed to be an American was when the Vietnam pow's returned home and they were spit on and yelled it by the war protesters. Protest the war - be against the war but you don't have take it out on the men just doing what they are commanded to do.

those weren't his exact words, but they were something like that. Maybe he said "of able age". But in my opinion, "too old" is when you are physically unable to do what is needed. That differs from person to person. But really, it is hypocritical for young active 22 year old lets say, to support the war but not fight in it.

The armed services have a age limit. A person can well be over the age limit but in perfectly excellent physical condition.

I agree with ph4ever.

I don't think I've heard anyone bad mouthing the tropps as far as the Iraqi war goes? I've heard pleny of people bad mouthing Bush and the reasons for the war, but not the troops. Just wondering.

I agree. I think people are just hyper sensitive right now. Plus, having just gone through the election cycle has people still fired up. My response is "Even anti-war hippies from the past are supporting the troops" See John Kerry.

Do you really think a stiff like Kerry was a hippie? That would ruin the whole mystique of that era.
