God forbid someone defends the people who have sacrificed stable family life, put their lives at risk to protect us, and get paid so little to do such a horrifically difficult job. I don't give a crap what people think about Bush or the war, I can understand hating both of those things, but most of these people didn't sign up to fight in Iraq, or to do Bush's bidding, they signed up to defend the country, democracy, and freedom. Those are the things that they care about, I know because I know quite a few service members, including several cousins in the military. I also know they give up more than any of us who don't serve will ever have to give up to do that thankless and absolutely necessary job.
These people are in the military to do what our elected government tells them to do. If you have a problem with what they're doing, then you have a problem with the government, not them. They didn't ask to go to war in Iraq, they are just doing what we the people have asked them to do through our elected officials. Hating them is like hating the garbage man for driving a big truck, when it's the elected officials that make the decision on which truck to buy.
Oh and to call our military slow and ill-equipped is absolutely laughable. Show me a faster more well equipped army. There isn't one. Just because they are not invincible does not mean they are not well equipped.
