I agree. The people at Topix are cowards who are afraid of the truth.

to all you unpatriotic people..... do you realize that these men and women are risking their lives for YOU, so YOU can have freedom of speech and live in a free country? what is YOUR problem? Do you think these people wanted to leave their homes and families to go to another country?

If you can't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them. If you don't agree with the war, that is fine, I think most people don't, but our men and women are putting their life on the line every minute of every day because it is their duty.

To the coal field trash in Jonben: They're doing what they're doing because they can't do anything else.

That's OK. You and your grubby little kids will be standing in front of them sooner than you can even imagine.

No need to punk the kids.

You're right about the troops being used against us, though. Just read P.D.D. 51. Only thing is, they'll be foreign troops.

Just wanted to say I'm proud of the 821st whether we agree with the war in Iraq or not our men and women are doing a dang good job. I support our military and all of us should for it is because of them we have the freedom we do. They deserve all of our respect and honor and for those who do not choose to honor and respect them I say move to another country. You have the freedom you do because of them. Love and honor not only to the 821st but all branches of our military!

How can you even say something like that? You don't know this spouse nor anything about the hardships they have endured since their loved one has been deployed. If you don't agree with what they do, that is fine, but don't judge them nor their families because they were ORDERED to go to Iraq. Some of those people do not believe that they need to be fighting this war but they also were called to do a duty...... which they are putting their life on the line to do....... for YOU and for ME. I think you are a real idiot. What do you do? Lay on you fat behind and watch tv all day and draw a welfare check that these men and women pay into? Get a life!

You're the one who threatened to unleash your criminal thug husband on anyone who disagrees--if you're even married. Maybe the kids you have with him aren't even legitimate--or even his.

wow. very interesting. as a member of the national guard, not one person said NO THANKS when i have served during floods, or hurricanes, or snowstorms while offering help to my fellow citizens in times of need. the military doesn't always set out to kill kill kill. your comments just display you closed mind and ignorance. i went over there and didn't kill one person. in fact, i patched up many of theirs-since it was the right thing to do.

Well there OH GREAT ONE, I didn't say that I had a spouse in the military, I was saying that I know some of these families and the hardships that they have went though while their spouses have been deployed. Of couse you wouldn't know anything about that would you? As you probably draw a "monthly check" and just wait for the mail to run so you can pick it up? Or is it direct deposit? Oh well, no matter, I am done talking to you as it appears you have the IQ of a guppy...... Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones! In case that is above your IQ level, guppies lives in fish bowls... hence the "glass houses"

You are right, none of the soldiers there were drafted, however, if not for them signing up, the draft would be in place now. You can thank our wonderful president for that! If you have a problem with the Iraq war, don't take it out on the soldiers, put the blame where it lays.. With George W bush!

A few months ago after a flood, the National Guard rolled into my community. To their credit, they did collect some refuse. But then, they settled in for the day, blocking the roads and strutting around as if they owned the place. They also caused some damage of their own, then openly laughed about it and never even offered to lift a finger to fix it! No one wanted them here, but no one was foolish enough to ask uniformed military personnel to move on. To think this is possible is illusory.
