  Never Again’ means not anyone, not anywhere - or it means nothing at all.

  I LIKE THAT!!!

  I actually met alot of those CODEPINK ladies when I went to D.C.  What an awesome and dedicated group.

  Really?  I wish I could meet them then...  The only ones I have met were defacing the Marine Corps recruiting station where I live and throwing things at my husband as he tried to go to work.  They hold protests outside of my local base and all military functions yelling that my husband and his friends are monsters, murderers, and deserve to die.  
  Awesome people?  I don't think so.  They make me sick.

  The ONLY reason they even have a right to bitch and moan and abuse my family and friends is BECAUSE of my husband and those who have died defending their rights...
  

  I think I'll ignore these silly posts by our little pro muslim, anti American group members from now on...they're aren't worth the dust on my feet.

   

  

  So being pro muslim rights is being anti american? Oh thats right i am supposed to fear muslims and not worry about what going on around the world.  I dont know why i am bothering responding to someone like you because you arent worth my two cents.

  I may not always agree with their tactics, but their anti-war mission is commendable. They aren't the anti-American terrorists you portray them to be.

  You can be anti-war and still support the troops.  The women I have met in Codepink do NOT respect or support the troops.  They degrade them and treat them like criminals.  They deface property (the local recruiting station had its windows spraypainted pink and had had their posters outside written over and destroyed).  They hold protests here screaming and singing songs about how Marines are Murders and deserve to die... How is that okay?  They seem pretty Anti-American to me.  They are all hateful human beings and are not commendable in ANY way.

  *again... I am speaking of the groups in my area... I do not know how they act in your area*

  Thank you. I have heard of many brave men and women that enlisted AFTER the war started because they wanted to help in the war. If some don't support in what they believe in, how can they say they support the troops. Or do they just support the pansies that joined pre-war for the soul reason of benefits such as a college education, that are now crying 'foul' because they actually have to earn it now. If people have faith, belief, and support our troops then they need to have faith, belief, and support for what they're fighting for.

  I think it's weird that you say you must have faith and belief in the troops. Very... religious in tone. And we absolutely do NOT have to support what they're fighting for, if what they're fighting 'for' is wrong. Doesn't mean any of us WANT our troops to be hurt or killed. In fact, we really want them HOME where they won't face any of that.
  

  Also, why on earth would you call ANY of these troops 'pansies'? What the hell?

  You ladies who support codepink do not support our troops and you expect us to like you?

  I AM SORRY.... HAVE I FORGOTTEN TO MENTION THAT I COULD GIVE A RAT'S ASS IF YOU LIKE ME?  WELL... NOW YOU KNOW.

  I'll second that. I also could give a rats ass who likes me and who does not and I DON'T support the "troops" or any other occupier.

  You can't convince me for a minute that one can be against an occupation but be in support of the occupiers it just does not make sense.

   So no I don't support the occupation of Iraq or Afaganastan and I don't support the OCCUPIERS.

• Not a big fan of code-pink.  In many aspects they are similar to westboro baptist protesters.  JMO and observation.

  It was not meant to be religious in tone, why, is that a problem? Faith and belief in THEM that they will achieve the goals they are working so hard to achieve. But even if it was a religious statement, why would you have such a problem with it? Can people not pray for our troops?

    As far as the pansy remark, I think I mentioned the ones that are crying and going AWOL that don't want to do the job they signed up to do. Or am I going to get a lecture about how the recruiters lied to them. 

   I reiterate, I don't know how I can make myself clearer, I know 2 people that joined AFTER this war started JUST TO FIGHT THIS WAR BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN IT. So if you don't believe in this war, then you don't believe in them. I'm sure they would be very thankful that they joined AFTER it started just to have people like you that they are risking their lives for put down the very cause that they joined for. GET IT NOW???

• This might fall on death ears but to support our troops means to some that you value them as individuals and each of them has a face and name and you support them as a person, not necessarily what they are having to do to support their family or where they are being ordered to fight. It is not like most people who join the armed forces know that in x amount of years which nation they may have to take up arms against yet they have to do it because for them to not do it is a crime under the contract they signed. I do not truly believe that most of the individuals went into service to annihilate a nation or race. Why should we hold them as the ones making the decisions when they truly do not hold that power?

• Don't waste your breath. Some people can not conceive that our troops, even though they would love to be home, actually believe in what they are fighting for. Then again, if memory serves me correctly, this certain mom is not even an American. Canada I believe? No wonder she doesn't get it.

• From what I have seen and read codepink sounds like a group made up of escaped lunatics.    Those who don't support our troops and everything they stand for should be deported.   Better yet, relocate the group to central Afgahnistan or round about somewhere in the region.  I am pretty sure their cause will pay off.

  Thank you. That's where the phrase, "If you can't stand behind our troops, stand in front of them" comes into play.
