This is How the Left Supports our Troops

…By Threats, Vandalism, and Physical Attacks

Michelle Malkin touches briefly on something I’ve been meaning to write about for quite some time: US Military recruiters and recruiting stations being threatend, attacked, and vandalized by “We Support the Troops but Oppose the War” leftwing lunatics.

If I hear one more moonbat liberal claim that they “oppose the war but support our troops”, I’m going to punch him square in his whining pie hole. Because I’ve seen how you support us — I was active duty Army during the first Gulf War, and I remember what I thought of you war protesters then and how I felt about your type of “support”.

My youngest brother is a full time Recruiter and full time Soldier in the US Army, and is in charge of his own recruiting station in south Texas. So I have a very personal and vested interest in how you show your “support” of our troops.

The New York Times has a brief but fair piece on the numerous reports of recruiters and recruiter stations being subjected to vandalism, threats, and physical violence. You leftwing lunatics do realize that these recruiters are US Soldiers? The ones that you profess to support? Right?

My brother has already shared some of his Recruiter horror stories with me, and I don’t even have to ask him how he feels about the leftwing lunatics who “oppose the war but support the troops”, or what he’d like to do to those who would attack him and his men while they are doing their jobs. But I’m going to to see if he’ll allow me to share some of his thoughts and feelings about it here. If so, I’ll have more to say later.

I’d like to hear your brother’s thoughts. Reminds me of this gem from the recent Weekly Standard cover story on Benjamin Disraeli:

“[W]hen the nation was at war, the opposition was duty bound to support the war effort. Disraeli disliked the Crimean War and said so, but assured the House that no English general fighting abroad would face any opposition effort ‘to depreciate his efforts and to ridicule his talents’ so long as he was in charge.”

I doubt Disraeli could even have imagined the Vietnam-era American left and its next-generation offspring.

aha! but you see, there are those who realize there is no difference between the troops and the leaders ordering the troops:

“We Support the Troops but Oppose the War” leftwing lunatics.

They are lunatics and they don’t fall into a political category, but it seems kind of contradicting to say how much of lunatics they are and embrace the same behavior they have.
Its also ridiculious to generalize these people as the “oppose the war but support the troops” people, it kind of undermines the real supporters who actually support the troops but oppose the war in a respectful way.
If they had any sense at all they’d realize that they’re actions are only costing themselves if they pay taxes.
And then the part about you disliking protestors is a little strange because you actually support them because you are a soldier and you protect their freedom of speech and they enjoy their luxurious naive world-view because of what you have done. Ofcourse the media gives us a view of the irrational protestors who oppose the war in a disrespectful way, but that is to achieve a political motive. There are respectful protestors who have served in wars before. To be quite honest most protestors are respectful. The cameraman gets paid to find the most outrageous crowd members because the media is about selling a controversy and attaining a political calmness amoungst the masses because nobody wants the 60’s type protests again, especially congress.

I respect you as well as a majority of peaceful veteran protestors.
