COWARDS GIVE UP ON GIS – & GIVE IN TO EVIL
NY POST

As a former soldier who still spends a good bit of time with those in uniform, what infuriates me personally is the Doublespeak, Stalin-Prize lie that undercutting our troops and encouraging our enemies is really a way to “support our troops.”
As for bringing them home, why not respect the vote the troops themselves are taking: Sustained re-enlistment rates have been at a record high.
And our soldiers and Marines know they’ll go back to Iraq or Afghanistan. And no, Senator Kerry, it’s not because they’re too stupid to get a “real” job like yours or because they’re “mercenaries.” Some Americans still believe in America.
If our troops are willing to fight this bitter war, how dare Congress knife them in the back?
On Thursday night, I was in Nashville as a guest of the 506th Regimental Combat Team – with whom I’d spent all too brief a time in Baghdad.
The occasion was their welcome-home ball, complete with dress uniforms spangled with awards for bravery. Proud spouses sat beside their returned warriors.
Of course, those soldiers were glad to be home with their loved ones. But they also know they’ll go back to one theater of war or another – and no one complained.
They share a value that Congress has forgotten: duty. They’re willing to bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. Because they know that freedom has a price.
As you entered the ballroom for the event, the first thing you saw was a line of 34 photographs. A single white candle softly lit each frame. Those were the members of the 506th who didn’t come home.
Soldiers honor their dead. It’s the least Congress could do to honor the living men and women in uniform.
You don’t support our troops by supporting our enemies.

Wild Thing’s comment……
Can you even imagine if someone had proposed such a resolution during WWII??? Kudos to the NY Post. They should have included photos of Murtha, Pelosi and Reid ….heck all of them on the cover.
