		<description>I don’t care how insensitive this sounds, I hate getting those stupid forwards. The whole forward itself isn’t aimed at solely inspiring the support for the troops, but tries to cut as a double edged sword against all who opposes the war. 

U.S. Flag lapel pins and yellow ribbon magnets on your car don’t make you any more patriotic than someone who wears an anti-war patch on their hippie man-purse. It talks about making jokes about the soldiers and how anti-war is interchangeable with “don’t support the troops”. You find me one idiot on the street corner with a “don’t support the troops” shirt on and I’ll show you an idiot who is about the get a second black eye, because chances are they would already have one by the time they made it to the street corner.

My “heard doesn’t respond to this” because it is like saying if you’re not for the war in Iraq then you are against America, or on the other side of the isle it is like saying if you’re not for gun control then you want your children to kill other children. It’s basing false facts onto false scenarios and trying to shit them out as truths. The same as the attempt of negatively labeling Barack Obama s a Muslim and the media trying to over-pander the supposed sex affair scandal with John McCain.

It’s easy to FORWARD, but harder to REPLY.</description>

		<description>This was very meaningful. I have seen something like this before, again through an email, but not this powerful. Talking about different perspectives in class this does run a comparsion. This makes viewers like us think, pray, and hope that our troops come home safe. I wrote something in my blog about a reading I did on this type of this reaction and while the war has been going on for longer than anticipated, I need to know that people that walk the streets everyday through a mall or just on a beach on vacation or walking from class to class are still thinking about the troops. Their viewpoint on the war means nothing. Those troops are there and I feel without emails like these some people are forgetting, not a purpose, but it isn&#039;t like it was Sept 12, 2001 or Nov. 2001. Those times people were 100% supporting the troops, consitantly keeping them in their thoughts, Flags were everywhere on peoples homes, cars, and businesses. Now it feel that some have moved past and contiuned with their day to day life. Emails like these do still have an impact and I encourage you to send that to as many people as you can, even if they don&#039;t have time to read it, they will see the headline and their thoughts will go towards the troops.</description>
