I cant believe that some liberal organization would stoop so low as to show children in fatigues to sell their anti-war rhetoric. Im sure the United States would be just fine for 5 or 10 years if we would withdraw from Iraq before the job is done. Then we wouldnt have to fight as the ad calls it "an enless civil war," we'd be fighting in our very own country. If the author of these ads wants to lose their precious civil liberties and allow the military to take over in the U.S. so that we can fight terrorists on our own soil, so be it. However Im not willing to risk that. I fight because I believe in this cause. Its not the President Bush's cause. Its America's cause. Its for Freedom. Let us not forget that we alone didn't fight for our freedom...we had help. Lets start training our children now. I wonder if the author remembers it was a democrat who first suggested that we restart the draft. No one forced me to join the army. I did it to fight for my country! no for a few senators, or the president, for my country. I wish there were ways to stop these organizations from spewing out the mouth in such ways, however that woulnt be very democratic. Enjoy your freedoms america. if these guys have their way we'll all be fighting terrorist here at home before too long. Thats when our children will be fighting a war. Are you really willing to risk that? Im a combat medic in the 3rd Infantry Division currently deployed in Iraq.

As unthinkable as it is to most Americans, they would rather have the United States lose the war, regardless of the terrible long term consequences, than have our President and his policies be vindicated. I would think that anyone who considers themselves “politically moderate” but who loves our country and support the troops will find it difficult to side with those liberal Democrats that are so politically dependent on our country’s defeat. Especially over the next year or so as the troops are coming home as heroes, we can see the good that has been done over there and a renewed sense of patriotism washes over the nation.
