Glad you're here! Whether you're brand new or you've been lurking a long time and just didn't weigh in much!
This is a GREAT thread. OF COURSE Michael Moore's essay will be misunderstood! OF COURSE! There are just too many ding-dongs out there being fed constantly by Pox Noise and the teabagger universe and the limbots (limbaggers?) of the world. Too many willfully ignorant. And proud of it. Too many lazy and gullible and closed-minded.
Supporting our troops goes A LOT farther than just buying some cheap-ass buck-98 made-in-China car magnet and slapping it on your car's backside. A LOT farther. One could certainly begin by not sending more of them to needless wars we were lied into and had no business fighting, in the first place. And then one could certainly continue by NOT nickel-and-diming them on their medical care, upkeep, and the simplest necessities like decent housing and food.
