What do you mean they are not fighting for you? If I assume correctly, you are living in the United States of America and are probably a citizen of then great country. Anytime an individual wears the uniform of the USA, they are out there fighting and risking their life for YOU and all of us. And actually you did send them to fight. It was approved by Congress for these great men to go fight and guess what, you voted for the members of Congress to represent you. You might not be old enough to vote, but at least your parents elected these officials to represent you so stand behind our troops and support them 100%. Heck, we all know they are standing on the lines risking their lives 100% keeping you safe.

I was born in the United States...but what did I have to do with
that? What did you have to do with that? The troops are in Iraq risking their lives at the command of the President, with
the approval of Congress (2003). No, I did not send them to
fight...sent every member of my Congressional delegation a
letter stating so and will not vote for anyone who sent
troops to Iraq (Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan). "Stand behind
the troops"? What does that mean? I did not want my
neighbor (Robert, National Guard, to be hit with an IED and
have a plate in his head, and return home addled and lost),
nor do I want any U.S. serviceman to stay in Iraq one more
minute. Could I not say to you, "Hey, bud, YOU support the
troops...support their immediate withdrawal." If they are
keeping me safter than I was on 9-10-01, I thank them.
However, I don't believe that. In 1993, WTC was attacked.
Then, eight years later, WTC's were destroyed. The "enemy"
attacked the center of commerce, the center of defense,
and wanted the White House and/or U.S. capital (symbolic
center of power)... I don't think they were coming to my
house. It was a symbolic attack, consistent with the message
of many radical Moslem clerics, namely that greed-rooted
capitalism and imperialistic policies are a direct threat
to Moslem purity and sovereignty. Enough.
