(62,325 posts)GET IT? I support the troops who were lied into war. And fyi, MOST OF THEM WERE REPUBLICANS. So what you are now revealing to us is this. You are running around DU claiming to support the soldier who was invited to the SOTU because you believe that it is right to honor the troops?? Am I right so far?
BUT you only care about their sacrifices IF you agree with their politics?? Am I still on the right track here?
How do you know the politics of this soldier?? What if, a few months from now, he comes out against the policies of THIS ADMINISTRATION? It's happened before, what then? Will you trash him the way you are trashing a grieving mother then?
I'm so glad we had this conversation, it explains so very much that I always wondered about.
Sorry to all the Republican mothers who lost children in these criminal wars. Sorry to all mothers and fathers who lost children in these criminal wars no matter what your politics are!
So to you, because you disagree with someone's politics and they lose a child in these criminal wars, it's 'fuck them'?? I sure hope that soldier is a Democrat because if not and if he speaks out against the policies of this administration some time from now, I shudder to think of what you will have to say about him.
I don't fucking care what someone's politics are, IF their child is slaughtered in a criminal war they deserve our understanding for however they express their grief.
