how about if your not serving in the armed forces you keep your mouth shut and let us do the job that we where tasked to do. Nobody likes it, especially the troops who spend months- years away from their family and friends. And until you have served or been in iraq or afghanistan for a year or more then just keep your opions to yourself, i rarely say anything about this subject but i'm tried of people trashing soldiers-soldiers that did not come home with us but instead in a coffin.

1st of all, my mom who is a mother of 8 is serving in iraq right now and she didnt enroll during it. people enroll during it so they can help there country out. tell ur mom she wrong!

wow! this post has gotten a lot of feed back.. but im not going to be rude.. i just wanted to say that my husband joined during war time. he missed my first pregnancy and the first year of our first son's life. he missed my second pregnancy and will be missing the first 5 months of our second son's life. not to mention all the other times he'll be missing in the future. my husband is deployed right now. fighting in iraq, so your mother can have the freedom to say the things she said today. my husband, not to mention the husbands, wives, sons, fathers, mothers, etc. of other people are over there fighting right now, so people can say stupid things like that.. so just let your mom know what my husband is missing his family, so your mother doesn't have to miss hers.

The war in Iraq is not about "protecting our rights". In fact the war has nothing to do with us. For some reason our government decided it would be a good idea to meddle in another country's business. Yes what was going on over there was horrible but there are horrible things happening every where.

soldiers are in uniform in airports all the time!! i'm an army wife.. trust me.. i've had airport moments with my soldier.

It's that persons choice to be in the army, no one is forcing them. So regardless if they're fighting a war that isn't their fault, saying, "you ******* better be" is not okay.

if your mom doesnt agree with the war and respect the people serving for her she could always move to another country where she wouldnt have the right to have her stupid ass opinion.

Your mom has the freedom to opinion, and so do other people. I personally find war immoral and it just promotes violence, and right now the war is extremely pointless. And I don't support anyone who CHOOSES to partake in unnecessary violence. That doesn't make me an evil person, just the same as anyone who wouldn't support a gang member or psychotic shooter. Now watch the thumbs down. As if that matters...because war is still wrong. Now, in actual relevance, this story is hilarious as hell.

Everyone should have a tremendous amount of respect for the soldiers who are risking their lives for us. whoever is against these soldiers is a close-minded piece of shit who'd probably shit their pants if they were put into the same situation these soldiers are in everyday. have some respect
