Repubicans love to use the troops...
Everytime they make a speech they say our boys over in Iraq, what about the girls. They can't argue the points they are using fear. If you can see c-span listen to their points they use god the soldiers and how proud it will make the boys. They haven't told us how it makes us safe. Parts of the border have been open since and after the troops have been there how was this keeping us safe, bush only put national guards there due to his poll numbers dropping due to immigration. They say dems don't have a plan,whats their's? listen at how they describe who died and how you can die. The are going back in history to try to blame dems when if you look at history it started due to repugs meddling and stealing.

2. Everytime one speaks they use the troops and proceed to
give us how it will hurt the troops and they pretend that every troop is repug or believes this. I can not see how some of the troops can be happy on three or four tours and be torn from their families losing businesses and spouses,jobs and homes.

3. New employee at work, 23 year old Marine, says.....
they were told their tour would last six months.
After six months they were taxiing down the tarmack to come home,
when they were called back and told they had to
stay another 6.
The second time they were already in the air and nearly half way back to CONUS
when they were ordered to turn around. When they returned they were
told -you guessed it- you got to stay another six.
