Why do rights thinks lefts hate the military?

Question

I'm a leftist and I know full well the true evil people are the government who starts the war not the military who protect their families

I support the troops

I DON'T support the war

and I DON'T a government that slaughters and bombs people for theories and lies (and just in case the accusation that Iraq supports Al Qaeda that was a theory too, Afghanistan did that not Iraq)

Answer 1

I agree.. I think Iraq got caught because of Sadaam Hussein

He was set to be the example..maybe next time a world class

dictator won't talk quite so much smack to a US President?

right or wrong...we get caught up with the leadership of our

governement..how many people think Korea and Viet Nam were

a waste too? what did we really gain from these ~P

POLICE ACTIONS? and I was in the Air Force in Viet Nam era

so I know all the proganada from John Wayne and the "green baret"

movies...Cost us a lot of good men and women..and the results?

who knows?

Answer 2

Because we don't automatically support every war some bigwig comes up with.

Personally, I am not against the military and I believe there are some wars that it is necessary to fight, but not all of them.

I also believe that if we don't pick and choose our battles carefully, the one that will end up defeating ourselves.

Answer 3

It’s a fact and if you try and dispute it, you are an idiot and just lying to yourself. And, the funny thing about it is that they wouldn’t last one minute in any Military boot camp.  The truth is that extreme liberals have never embraced sacrifice, tasted honor, felt courage, experienced conviction or touched a fragment of commitment.  All they really know and want to know is Oprah and their little anti-war rallies where they curse Israel, the U.S and our beloved Military; yah know, the same Military that gave their lives so that we can live in freedom. Yeah, I am sure you hear this all the time from right-wing-conservative-types like me but it’s something that should never be forgotten, never!

These extreme liberals rant, rave and protest Military recruiters on college campuses; they call us terrorists and uneducated; and only join the Military because there are no other opportunities in our evil capitalistic society.  They sit in their cozy little apartments reading “10 Excellent Reasons Not to Join the Military” foreword by yes-you-got-it, Cindy Sheehan; while sipping on their $20 bottles of wine thinking about a new social program that would save us poor souls who enlist in the Military.

The fact is that our brave men and women in uniform are not only kicking *** and taking names; but also dying on foreign land, thousands of miles away from their homes, so that these misguided liberals can exercise their constitutionally protected right to *****, moan and protest; all for the sake of protesting because we all know that liberals don’t really stand for a d**n thing.

It reminds me of the radical anti-war protests of the 1960s and ’70s (not that I was even alive back then but hey, I did my homework).  These radical-cindy-sheehan-following-liberals might not be wearing their old-fashioned Birkenstocks and tie-dyed t-shirts (well, actually some still do); but their cowardly attitude is the same as it always has been. This is why liberals will stop at nothing to prevent us from winning the war on terrorism.  A win in Iraq means that their “war-solves-nothing” ideology becomes virtually worthless, a remnant of a bygone era; and the thought terrifies them.

Answer 4

I'm with you although I'm not that left. We should have pursued the Taliban as they are the source of much evil,even in their own countries. Now, because of the Iraq debacle they are gaining a foothold in other countries. I suppose all that the right sees is dollar signs and if they can mask a war for oil under a banner of self protection they feel that they can say virtually anything even if it makes no sense what so ever. A typical attitude would be the first answer above, behaving as though nothing were wrong at all but blaming everyone else first. (in case he deletes-not the one immediately above me)

Answer 5

  What then do you say to those soldiers who do believe in the war?.. as at least most of them do.  If the troops believe in it then you support them but not what they are doing, which is in effect not supporting them... thats how at least some of them see it.. ask them.

Answer 6

Why? Well, here is just 1 example, of many...

"The oak leaf symbolizes the wearer's right to order you to kill a stranger who has done nothing to you, a stranger with family and friends back home, just like you. The wearer of the oak leaf gets paid for his order, and you get paid for following it! Wow--just like a real hitman!!

The colonel gets to wear the lucky eagle because, like an eagle, he feeds on the dead.

If at all possible, get out of the stupid paper you signed. Tell them that you were on drugs when you signed it, or that you were temporarily insane but that a sudden gust of sanity just blew between your ears.

Remember, it is NEVER acceptable to kill a human being because someone orders you to---no God or Gods would ever smile kindly on such horrible behavior. Do not allow your government to turn you into another paid killer!

"Dude, I don't know where your parents are so I'll tell you. You have one life. You should try to live a long life. Don't give your life to a government that doesn't care about you.

"Why on Earth would you want to be a Marine?

You will be indoctrinated into a culture of hate.

You will certainly be called into action, as the White Estates of America has an insatiable appetite for blood.

Many Marines will tell you that you are a Marine for life. They just say that because they are ashamed of the choices they have made, and will feel slightly more comfortable if other impressionable young people throw their lives away as they did.

Save yourself and help make this world a better place for all--go to college.

Another... the most disgusting so far...

"Hopefully, SWAT.

While often wrongfull killers of the innocent, the SWAT squads operate at least under the presumption of being of help to the civilian polpulace.

Special Forces members, on the other hand, are simply more hitmen, paid killers who will even eat babies if that is what the boss orders."

So no, not all leftists hate the Troops, but many do.

Cool, I get thumbs down for pointing out proof that left wing fools do indeed hate us! I can live with that, I just don't see how the left can live with themselves.

The 60's a over folks... and yes, terrorists, and those that support them, are the Enemy of our Country... deal with it, or join THEM, but the fake support we get from the lib left is insulting.

Answer 7

Cause of the radical, idiotic left that's responsible for some pretty stupid stuff.

It's a tar baby for the whole bunch.

Answer 8

because some conservatives actually show their support for service members. Liberals only say they do. And the far left actually hates the military and anything to do with the government.

Answer 9

But aren't the members of the United States military sworn to uphold the Constitution and those appointed above them? (i.e. government leader) If you happened to look at the situation in less of a superficial manner you would understand the threat that Saddam really did present to our national security.

Again, like the question I proposed yesterday:  where's the substantial evidence that this war is for oil and all the other propaganda lies.  The simple truth is, Saddam and his army were highly unstable and wouldn't think twice about sending a few Anthrax loaded warheads our way.  We as a nation would be foolish to stand idle and let that threat linger.  Read your history books on WW2.  We sat by and look what Japan did to Pearl Harbor?

And how can you say there's no Al Qaeda in Iraq?  They're all over!  But I suppose you didn't hear that part of the news?  Ask any soldier that's been over there and they'll tell you the same as I.  Your theories are rather ignorant.  I implore you to study your ideas more and learn the real truth behind things before you simply repeat what some liberal commentary told you on the radio.
