| Nope, sorry. I'm not liberal, nor conservative. I have major problems with both ideologies, and with people who think that either side has all the answers. I can think for myself, and don't need a party to tell me how to feel about each issue. I missed your post on the first run through, I'm sure the packages were appreciated. What have I done. Hmmm. Well there's care packages, donations to the Navy and Marine Corps Society, volunteering for homeless vets, and the fact that I'm on Active Duty in the Navy. I think I do my share. I am a firm believer that the best way to support the Troops is to bring them home. You can send all the snacks and wet wipes you want, but which would a soldier rather have, a box of Oreos today or both of his legs next year? | |||||||||||||||||||||

I send a lot more than oreos and wet wipes. I also have family over there. I don't need a party to tell me how to think either. I just have chosen the party that is standing up to the evil and not the party that is for retreat. I am a firm believer in fighting back. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Alias, tell this organization that by encouraging them to stay over there, you are supporting the troops.

| I would thank them for their service like I do all soldiers. When I see a soldier at a restaurant or at the bar, I buy their drink or their meal. I don't ask them their political views. What do you do when you see a soldier at the bar or a restaurant? | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I let them eat. But if I'm engaged in conversation with one, I usually thank them for their service. But does it matter?

| I let them eat also. I don't bother them. I just tell the waitress I'm picking up their check. It doesn't matter. It just matters that we support them any way we can and that's how I do it. | |||||||||||||||||||||
