Do you seriously use the expression "support the troops"?
Spoiler: show
Exactly. You don't disagree, and you probably aren't angered by what i'm saying. So it's not trolling. Perhaps you just thought i'm one of those hippy liberal douchebags who's posmodernism this, cultural relativism that, and fluid sexuality, which is just an excuse for being a pervert.
what's the problem? ragheads not having babies=win
Kuya sure can reel 'em in...
Yes I use that expression. Yes I mean it. I'm not a republican. I don't use it to bash anyone. It's very common around here, where you know, troops and their families live and you see what they go through day to day. You're conveniently forgetting critical events in history again. There have been, and still are, people who look down upon troops and talk shit to them for serving in the war[s].
i have one of those magnets on my bumper and a mini flag, i support plenty
Exactly. People around here will do random shit like buy a round of beers for troops or literally just go up to them and tell them "thank you." It's the little things man, the little things.
Edit: I just really don't like it when someone so cut off from the situation tries to sit back and preach like they know wtf. I've let people live with me free of charge when they're in between tours. My band has let troops get up on stage and sing with us. I've helped baby sit for ppl's wives while they're over seas so they can still go to school/work. Just because you don't know or see anyone actively doing shit for them doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
"Support" the troops is a bit much. I'm not cheering when they get blown up, but I don't feel that someone's a hero or deserves any additional respect for signing a contract to do a job.
Anyway, what's the big problem? Didn't we want them to be more westernized? They're trying hard to catch up to the Catholics and make us happy for their progress!

For most people who "support the troops" - their support is solely manifested in not being dicks to people just for being in the armed services. They aren't supporting shit but they get to feel good about saying it.
