    It seems they really hated their previous leader, so they probably are happy to see the change:

    An annual report last week showed that soldiers killed themselves at the highest rate on record in 2008.

    Do you think the presidential campaign and the democrats' rhetoric contributed to that?

    so, the op shows even further disrespect to the troops who have sacrificed so much for our nation that they would end their lives based on who is president. sickening.

    The only reason I lurk here is to see if you can stoop even lower. Do you spout this sort of stuff off in real life?

    Of course not, he and his brother are both chickenhawks and would never risk taking the inevitable epic beatdown that their mouths would earn them.

    absolutely it was a dumb war. doesn't change the fact that these people put themselves in harm's way for our country, only to have their sacrifices and troubles shat upon by the op.

    When the liberals crow about what a dumb war we're fighting, do you think that motivates the troops?

    you're being an *******, quit while you are ahead, suggesting that they are so weak minded to commit suicide because someone said the war was dumb is disgusting

    I don't think they listen to it. I give the troops a LOT more credit than you do for being intelligent, hard-working, and able heroes. I don't believe that even a single soldier committed suicide as a result of anything than any liberal said about the war, the troops, or anything else.

    Apparently, you think that our troops are weak minded enough to let criticism of the war drive them to suicide. You are seriously underestimating their bravery and strength of will.

    Coming from someone in the military, this is crap. Don't use the guys fighting for our country for your agenda.

    Have some class.

    You're an absolute joke, bigtexxx. That's all there is to say. Nobody takes you seriously and nobody has any respect for you.

    both sides do it and neither have any class about it ever.

    people here only go to the high moral ground when it benefits their argument.

    I read the title and then the article and was going to give texx the benefit of the doubt and assume he was making fun of himself. Then I read further.

    Wow.
