We all support our troops. I just don't support George W. Bush.

Listen, i totally respect you and this dudes car, but the only reason that the "evil" people in Iraq exist is because American troops were sent there. They were never any real threat to the United States mainland. Remember, you were sent their to find weapons of mass destruction that had been created after the first gulf war. Sure everone says its for the good of the Iraqi people now, ,but thats not why they started this thing in the first place. There were, and are many other countries that support terrorism much more than Iraq ever did. Just because I think the decision to go to Iraq was stupid doesn't mean I wish you any harm or think you are doing something bad. You are doing what you feel is right, or you are just following orders. Do what you gotta do man. Just get the the job done and come home.

Looks like Iraq is ruining your mind... you can't even spit out what you want to say coherently...Don't try to speak for every soldier out in the 'sandbox'.

Although you never said anything like this, I am just fed up with people saying in order to support the troops you must support W and if you don't your an *******. It's like if you protest anything having to do with the pres's decisions or Iraq, you automatically get branded as a troop hater. I wish them well, and hope they can come home from such a pointless task. Their intelligence, resources, and bravery could be much better utilized in other parts of the world. Sorry for the rant. Had to say it. Crazy car man.

I believe that a portion of the sales from the ribbons goes to paying for supplies to the troops such as food and medical so by purchasing them you really are supporting the troops.

I thought that food and medical was provided by the government. If it's going to the government, is the extra money really going to go to more food and medical for the troops? Shouldn't food and medical be provided already? Where is the money going?

^^^I dunno if you re-call but during 9/11 people would go out and buy supplies for the workers cleaning up ground zero. I guess the government should have supplied that as well. I guess its so people feel that they are directly involved, and know for sure that their efforts are not wasted. Any little bit helps.

nice, but pointless. Try sending the pic to the troops themselves, they might appreciate it....but I could care less. The troops don't see any of the money from sticker sales, in fact, I'd be an honest guess to say that the troops wouldn't even know the stickers were made if it weren't for people back here sending them pics and seeing them when they're back in the states.

Nope. Fox is bullshit. And yes, they may be happier....but I didn't ask if they were happier, I asked IF THEY ASKED FOR OUR HELP.

Yes..fox said they asked for it..just not directly. Look at all the harm saddam has done to the u.s.. Seriously, i mean, look at what we accomplished!.. we killed as many bad people as we could.[even if they were babies..because those babies would have grown up and kill us] I mean..we have saved humanity in Iraq..even though they weren't even a threat to us or the surrounding nations. Even though we should have gone after Iran, N korea, or even Palestine...but why when we can just take over Iraq?

Uhm Bush was under the impression that Iraq was harboring weapons of mass destruction. Thats why we attacked them. Not to help the iraqi people. Since Bush couldn't find any weapons of mass destruction he changed his reasoning, and is now like we are there for a regime change. Granted its prob not a bad idea that we are there a democracy in a middle eastern country is never a bad thing. The original plan though was not to free the iraqi people.

I want to see a tank covered in those!

I support the troops so I would put ONE of those on my car because I have friends out in the "sandbox," but for some reason "Support Our Troops" has turned into "Support Bush-Cheney."

Honestly, it's a bit much... I think it would be awesome if it was just one big one on your hood instead of a bunch of little ones all over your car, like a decal or custom paint job. It would look a lot cleaner. It was a cool idea, though.

the $ made off those magnets made in ANOTHER COUNTRY are not going to the troops at all. For all we know, Haliburton is probably getting a chunk of the money. I support our troops, have many friends over there but HATE BUSH.
