If you disagree with the war in Iraq are you disrespecting our troops?

I do not believe in war, but I do not blame the soldiers and I do respect them for the job they do. We have none at this time that have chosen taht life but we have had and they were loved and respected as any other family member with a dangerous job.

I say, I agree with you 100%. I LOVE our troops, I RESPECT our troops, and I THANK our troops for doing what they have to do to help support and protect our Country. I don not, however agree with the war. I don't think we should have ever gone there. I know there are probably some soldiers who wonder what we are doing there too. I absolutely do not think disagreeing with a war shows any disrespect for soldiers. I have donated money, send cards, sent gifts etc. for the soldiers because I really do value them, but I still do not agree with the war. I am sorry to all soldiers who think that by disagreeing with the war, I show disrespect to them. I think our soldiers and the war are two different things. Soldiers are GREAT, the war is Awful.

I do agree with you - I don't think that you're automatically disrespecting anyone solely by disagreeing with what they stand for and/or believe in.

I don't think it is disrespectful to disagree with the war. However, since they are there one shouldn't bad mouth them, withhold helping them if possible, or even blame them for doing the job they have to do. They are plenty of ways to respectfully disagree. Some people though carry it to far and actually holf the troops personally responsible when they are simply following the orders they are given.

I dont agree with the war in Iraq nooo but Yes i support & respect.. OUR TROOPS....My ex husbands son is one of them.
He went less than a month after his wife had their 3rd child!!
Due back 14th Feb for a few months then back again..i beleive.

Support THE Troops..Home & Away!!

That war should never have happened.

Baghdad, a once beautiful and ancient city is now a mass of rubble. The situation in Afghanistan looks as if it will never end. Our own ex Prime Minister was determined to join in despite the fact that most of our people were against going to war.

Of course we don't disrespect our soldiers! Our hearts are with them all the way. All we want is for them to come home safe and well. I only wish we could bring them home right now before any more young ones are lost.

I am totally sickened when a President or a Prime Minister puts on that sincere face and tells how good it was they died for their country. Well BULLBAGS to that! I wonder if the parents think dying for the country was so worthwhile.

It is totally true when they say that every war is created by bored old men sitting in their favourite armchairs.

The troops are just following orders, it is the politicians who make the wars.

And of course, not wanting wars doesn't show at all disrespect to the troops.. This is just things that warmongers say to make you feel bad and agree with them.

i beleive you can support the troops without supporting the government

I didn't like war, especially people make it happen

that is just stupid
I dont know anyone that agrees with our troops being over there
but everyone I know supports them while they are there
we have respect for the troops
we just dont have respect for the person that sent and kept them over there
