If it is in the name of freedom or not, when we fight over there we do it for each other and we have each others back 24/7. Every little bit of support from home helps lift morale. You don't have to support the mission, but support the soldier. Many soldiers don't even agree with the circumstances as to why we are there and many realize that the immediate freedom of america is not in jeopardy, but we still fight to come back home. It is a very complicated situation over there that only part of which gets covered in the media. (usually the stuff that sells, like bombings and body counts). Thank you again Ben and salute to all of the men over there as we speak.

I didn't see anyone "badmouthing" the soldiers in this post? As a democratic America, it is just as much our duty to challenge what we believe is wrong. I 100% support the folks over there fighting the war, and 100% oppose the folks waging the war and the reasons they have chosen for being there.
To call that un-American is wrong.
