Then the next talking point is that the Democrats are the ones that really support the troops and the Republicans do not. Then the next talking point is that the only way to support the troops is to cut funding for the war and bring the troops home. The the next point involves something about anybody not agreeing is a chickenhawk.
The NCO core has not, and will not be 'decimated' in Iraq like you claim that it was in Vietnam. You don't think there is a bit of difference between 55,000 dead and 3,000? I find that the morale of troops isn't quite as bad when soldiers get off aircraft and find their fellow citizens see them as heros protecting our liberties from Islamic fascism, and not like in Vietnam, when a counter-culture movement denouced all forms of modern western liberalism/capitalism and insisted that our efforts to stop the spread of communist totalitarism in SE Asia was an exhibit of American imperialism.
All the terrorists in the world can't do the harm to the American Army that Harry Reid has done with his political pandering and Nancy Pelosi by sitting on the lap of one of the individuals directly responsable for killing many of our boys.
The other day, I was with a recruiter friend of mine here, and a woman snidely said to him that she 'betted he wished that this horrible war was over and the soldiers could come home,' and he rightly said, 'yes ma'am, but not till the job's done.'

dean... I like your thought patterns...
But the horse is dead.
These people want America to fall/fail they will say anything to help in the effort.
Day in and day out I hear on all types of Media how the USA is sick of this war on terror and we should give up.
I may hear a story now a then (Very very rarely) about how well things are going in the war on terror. But then it always has some backfeed on how hopeless the war on terror is.
With this kinda backing from the Media draining hope, it is a wonder we have any enlistment at all.
In reality all this negative talk about the war on terror is total cowardice...
I repeat.

Just a certain people who want the milk and honey but don't want to pay for it.
dean ... may I call you dean? ... we are coming to a turning point in America and it's for the worst, I say "Men who want to win should take the airwaves back from the defeated and start proclaiming Victory again"
