Question:

Has anyone else noticed that mention of the troops does not get cheers at the DNC convention?

by | earlier

One guy calling off his state's vote said he had served two tours in Iraq and was wearing his combat boots and -- nothing, not any real recognition at all from those attending.

I noticed a part when I was watching yesterday -- actually I think it may have been in Hillary's speech. They were cheering for all sorts of things she was listing off and when she got to the troops -- no real recoginition like you would think.

Anyone noticed this?

I'll take your word for it. I can't stomach DemoWhining on my TV. I would have to replace my big screen TV after I threw the coffee table at it.

(Honey, where are the Kid's NERF bricks or the sponges from 2004?)

Maybe someone forget to tell the DNC that military persons actually rationalize their options and REALLY VOTE in this country.  The Democrats will do everything that they can to isolate AD military from voting.  Even going so far as to requesting that absentee voting ballots from military be not counted in the 2004 election...

What ARE they AFRAID of???

Sorry warren - when you isolate and disenfranchise military and their families, it is a big thing.  We should have learned from the UNENDING reprehensible behavior towards our military by LIBERALS and ensure that they never come to power AGAIN - EVER!!!

You mean they actually acknowledged the troops exist?

Well I am surprised.

Was at the gym on base and I was appalled! I hate that woman!

But notice when she talks about the children she supports (Of course not the fetuses though,...those aren't children(please note the sarcasm)) everyone starts cheering and nodding!

GAH!

During the Vietnam war soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines were treated lower than dirt by a big portion of the American public, mostly liberals from the democratic side of politics. Soldiers returning from war were spit on and called names. Thankfully over time the majority of the American public have come to realize that they should not blame the soldier for the governments policies and treat most with respect and decency. Not being cheered or recognized at the Democratic convention while surrounded by a bunch of anti military nuts is not a big thing.

Another thing if you havent noticed is the Dems want to take money away from the troops they say that we get paid too much for what we do , but for most service members especially if they are married and have kids they live right above the poverty level , the money we get for housing our BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) they say we dont need that well if i didnt get that i wouldnt be able to live and that is with my wife working 2 jobs and no kids .

Most of the troops are pro-war on terror. Hence, why they are fighting it.

They are volunteers. Especially at this point, there is no one over there that doesn't feel they belong there.

Most of the troops are also rather conservative... and with her love of socialism, gun control, etc... why would they cheer?
