While YOU...POLITICALLY....do not think they died and suffered for our freedom I violently disagree with you. You may have a different political view but I think that troops who represent us wherever our leaders send them are fighting for our freedom and perhaps those who feel as you do should have a Scrooge type dream and let you see what happens if they are not throughout the world EVERY DAY, EVERY HOUR....and no matter what you say...they are DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM.

Last time I checked we did not accomplish what we set out to do in Viet Nam , we would be just as safe today if we got out in the late sixties. Japan and Germany surrendered, who's going to surrender in Iraq and Afghanistan? Before we commit troops let's have the guts to officially declare war, our troops deserve better than to be sent into "skirmishes" , "nation building" , or being policemen/peacekeepers for other countriesnot willing to bear their share of the fighting and costs.
