No hope for them now. :( I would be one pissed off soldier if I was over there.

3. I'm not
Military vote broke heavily for Bush, they want more of the same. So be it.

6. I'm not either
If they voted for Bush, fuck 'em. They had their chance and refused to think for themselves and make an effort to end the nightmare, so whatever happens to them is their problem. I have never been one of those "I support the troops but oppose the war" liberals since I have always known perfectly well how most of the military feels about us "faggot dopesmoking liberal pussies."

My concern is not with the army of volunteers we currently have, who deserve whatever happens to them, but to prevent the return of the draft so we can save the valuable kids in this country who CAN think and DO care.

8. I only support individuals troops who don't support bush
I do not support the "troops" who are GOP.

I support individuals who made the effort to vote democratic -- but I do not support anyone who voted GOP.

Now how long do we have to wait before we see all the bush supporters sign up for military duty???
