Troop Support

You might have heard about a LA Time Columnist that stated, "I don't support our troops." Now, I understand in what context he was trying to make his point... dealing with anti-war folks with 'support our troops' bumper stickers. But the funny thing was to hear an interview with this kid on an LA Radio station.

He clearly doesn't have a clue about anything in the world. The most shocking thing was his salary.. a couple of columns a week and he makes over 75k.



Radio Interview (mp3)

ed. ya, it's a tough listen. He doesn't know anyone in the military. Hasn't visited troops or bases or hospitals. Doesn't read military books or magazines. Heck, doesn't even know what an soldier's pay is. Yet he doesn't think we should have military parades. What a ma-roon

I'd listen to it, but I don't suffer fools well.

I think that when the troops come back home everyone of them should get a heros welcome. Instead of nothing. They are over there risking their lives. The government should really step up and pay for military personnel their due rewards and also give them a raise if anyone deserves a raise it is them. I have two nephews and a former drummer of mine over in that hell hole. That is just some of the concerns I have heard them talking about.
