Anti-Soldier Protesters


Why do they even exist? Are they trying to say that the soldiers are evil because they are in the army? Don't they realize that if there werent volunteers, there would be conscription?

do these people know that many countries require millitary service as much as we are required to pay taxes? A buddy of mine went to lebanon to visit some family, and had to fight for 3 days with courts just so he could leave. The reason he couldnt leave was because he never served his 2 years in the army when he hit 18. He wasnt even born there.

I dont think protesters in general are bad people, just those who protest anything regarding soldiers personally.

Any of those "people" who boycott the funerals of soldiers should be tried as treasonous. It should be perfectly legal to shoot anti-soldier protesters ON SIGHT if they show up to harass grieving families at funerals. What the *beep* goes through their heads? Seriously if i ever met someone of this variety, i would beat them until my hands were raw.

This series is a perfect example of what brave people protect us from having to see. Regardless of how grand a scale the second world war was, and how different the fighting would be, it still takes a ton of courage jump into a wartime country and fight for the people back home. I wont try and say the wars that north america has been involved with are completely just, but to attack the soldiers personally should be a warrant to strip them of their rights and ship them to some third world country that doesnt even want them. Then they can experience somethign to actually complain about.

These protestors are monsters. Clear and simple.

I've never seen or heard of an anti-soldier protest.

Ever hear of "Hate the war, not the soldiers?" Protesters are generally against the war, not those who fought it. It's sad to say, but US soldier since WW2 was fighting for our freedom. That's just a fact, horrible as it is.
