I understand that service men will likely die in these conflicts, but I feel that Iraq is a waste, and it is sad when 18-22 year old lives are wasted like this, I have friends that have gone to Iraq and I would hate to see them die. This is why I fight for an end to this, if this is unpatriotic then maybe patriotism is overrated.
Are you forgetting that the United States military is a strictly volunteer force? Those brave men and women took an oath to protect thier country in one of the most selfless acts on this earth. And for that they should be greeted with nothing less than gratitude. On any flight I'm on they have been thanked for their service and given any first class seat available. I didn't know having manners on a flight was the new political statement. My thoughts and prayers are with your friends since your support clearly is not.

P.S. if you want my W sticker come and get it
