ReplyDeleteIs there a march happening anywhere in support of the troops? I'd like to support the brave boys and girls fighting for freedom.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, if your really want to support the troops why not be brave yourself.
ReplyDeleteSign up for the army, learn to use a gun, then go over there and fight alongside them.
What I meant is the *removal* of a parents right to beat their kids.

ReplyDeleteSadly it's not feasible to have a march supporting the troops and doesn't support the war.
ReplyDeleteThere's a popular school of thought that the best thing to do for the troops (and perhaps everyone else) is to bring them home where nobody's trying to kill them.
Sorry, Garry, I can't go and fight alongside the honourable soldiers who are willing to leave their jobs and families for many months at a time to fight for our freedom in an inhospitable desert full of strange men in tea towels. I'm flat footed. :-(
