How many of the pro-war members have actually made a single significant sacrifice for the war effort (yellow ribbons don't count)? I don't have the stats, but i would guess less than 20%.

Very easy, just look how many of these pro-war supporters fight over tax cuts.
Tax cuts in time of war.... Jesus Fucking Christ.... how marvellously sacrificial..... hypocrites. You cry about how people protest the war, but you aren't willing to sacrifice your fucking tax cuts?????? ASSWIPES.

It is exceedingly easy to sit on one's ass and scream for an invasion when one doesn't really have anything at stake beyond some vague notion of national pride or a false sense of security. It is also exceedingly irresponsible and cowardly to call for others to die for a cause when one is unwilling to do so oneself.

Protesting is another means to another end. It worked in the civil rights movement, where a war would certainly have failed miserably.

We have the right to protest, and protesting is a way to keep government in check.
I would rather protest and pay my taxes knowing the soldiers are getting money they need for armor and the best protection possible..... than sit on my fucking greedy ass and worry how big my tax cut will be (like some here do).
You make the sacrifice of putting your life on the line for the US whether it is a righteous war or not..... you deserve the best our government can give you. But those who want tax cuts, obviously don't feel they need to sacrifice or pay for your sacrifices. What hypocrites.
A lot can be said about a country in how they treat their military and veterans. And this country's leadership in doing so FUCKING SUCKS.
