send anti-war email to u.s. troops

send anti-war email to u.s. troops



http://www.operationdearabby.net/

is a war site trying to solicit pro war email messages to "support" the troops. Use it instead to send anti-war messages to let them know that we DON'T SUPPORT them committing war crimes against the Iraqi people!

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! U.S. OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST!

2. Take a close look in the mirror -- get up close and get a good look.

3. Now you know what a major asshole really looks like.

Why, with the personal attacks? In the words of that great philosopher of the 20th century - Rodney King "Can't we all just get along?"

Just what they need.

by Observer Sunday, Apr. 06, 2003 at 8:17 AM

Yes, after spending all day in the blistering heat, being shot at and bombed, what a soldier really wants is a heckling email from some soft-bellied kid back home telling that soldier what a moron he is. I'm sure the soldier will understand fully and react rationally by shooting up another carfull of civilians in a blind rage.

by Ruth Sunday, Apr. 06, 2003 at 4:03 PM

Boycott the businesses listed as participants in Dear Abby. They are wrong to encourage soldiers to participate in this illegal immoral war.

by Excellent Idea Sunday, Apr. 06, 2003 at 4:09 PM

We should also let the corporate sponsors know that we are boycotting their products and why.

Just so you know

by fresca Sunday, Apr. 06, 2003 at 4:20 PM

"They are wrong to encourage soldiers to participate in this illegal immoral war."

If you really feel the need to send an email like this to a soldier, I guess no one can stop you. I suspect karma will catch up with you. But as far as this war being "illegal", that's just utter nonsense. Would someone please try to justify the use of such an empty, incorrect and ludicrous charge?

It can't hurt.

by Ogma Sunday, Apr. 06, 2003 at 5:00 PM

Y'know, telling a soldier (who is probably thinking that today or tomorrow might be his or her last day on this planet) that there is nothing wrong with saying No to this barbarism, can't hurt.

I would think that most of us who post here (and most of us who would send one of those E-mails) are bright enough to know not to attack anyone like some of the porn-posting visitors to this site do on a regular basis.

Why not tell our troops that we want them home alive and now??? I like to think that the military hasn't completely squashed all humanity out of our soldiers...

Settle down child. Sit back and learn.

And tell me you didn't actually pull the SUV card, did you?

What a dolt.

But, you seem to be able to operate that imac you got there so I guess there's a shred of hope for you yet.

Major General

by Warrist Herror Sunday, Apr. 06, 2003 at 6:00 PM

Incidentally, it doesn't look like they are screening the letters on the Operation Dear Abby site. Perhaps they screen them before they send them to the troops, but you can do "Read a Message" on the site and eventually see some that are not Pro-the-War.

You are limited to 1000 characters and asked not to attack any racial or religious group, or the USA. So if you keep your antiwar message patriotic you can even obey the rules, like a good little soldier!

Personally, I would urge some sensitivity, because the troops, as brainwashed and misinformed, and young and undereducated, and possibly racist and arrogant, and just plain WRONG WRONG WRONG as many of the troops may be, they are actually risking their lives to do something they believe in.

Here's that link again. Try to change people's minds, not just piss them off. (Although, looking at the letter I wrote, I can see my anger got the better of me. Maybe you can do better.)

Good luck out there, on the web, on the streets.

Get a job

I am tired of listening to hairy armpitted, jobless, dikes talk about how wrong the war is. Get a job, get a life. Check out this website http://www.kdp.pp.se/chemical.html. Maybe you will realize why the US is in IRAO.

WRONG

by Amused. Wednesday, Apr. 09, 2003 at 7:30 AM

"Personally, I would urge some sensitivity, because the troops, as brainwashed and misinformed, and young and undereducated, and possibly racist and arrogant, and just plain WRONG WRONG WRONG as many of the troops may be, they are actually risking their lives to do something they believe in. "

This one stumps me. So the blacks, Asians, Hispanics, American Indians, Iraqi and Arab dissidents, and Europeans who have suffered genocide for generations, making up of our forces, in taking down an entrenched white genocidal racist regime (Kurds are a waste of skin!), are the actual racists. The very people Americans who own and control everything, because of their undereducation and brainwashing, no doubt, just need a wakeup call from society's losers and parasites so they can see how oppressed they are. If you're really nice, maybe one of them will give you a job someday.

As uninformed, racist, and WRONG as you are, maybe one day you'll move out of your mother's basement , abandon wildy discredited and stupid Marxist rhetoric, and find a girlfriend. Most of us abandoned it before we hit college, so what's your excuse for being impervious to reality?

One nice thing about ignoring silly communist concepts is that what happens in the world isn't a constant shock. We predict events months or years in advance, and get to feed crow to idiot media outlets. If you compare all your predictions to what's unfolding, you'll find a vast disconnect. You at least make the Iraqi Government look like they're on the ball.

"No! There are no American's here, I tell you. We have driven them back."

You don't even...

by daveman Wednesday, Apr. 09, 2003 at 7:51 AM

...know any military members, do you, Warrist Herror?

"...and misinformed, and young and undereducated, and possibly racist and arrogant..."

Sure doesn't sound like you do.

Would you be upset if someone characterized the anti-war crowd as "tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, tofu-eating, insense-burning, drum-pounding, chanting, politically correct, dictator-loving socialist castrated males and hairy-pitted-women"?

As well you should.

Leave the blatant generalizations and blanket condemnations at the door. If you don't know anything about a subject, don't speak to it.

When the Troops Come Home

by Buckeroo Bonzi Thursday, Apr. 10, 2003 at 5:52 PM

I hope that when we start having the Parades down Main St. U.S.A. for our American Heroes, the protests come out and show their shameful faces. I for one will take great pleasure in humiliating the Protesters in front of the Troops.

Don't worry, Buckaroo...

by daveman Thursday, Apr. 10, 2003 at 5:55 PM

...they won't. They'll be too afraid of getting Iraqi Baby Blood (TM) splattered on them.

That sounds hot

by pippin Thursday, Apr. 10, 2003 at 5:58 PM

You and the boys are into some pretty disgusting things. Im sure you could put some protesters to shame. Get back at them for all the times they made you feel dumb in the chat rooms.

You Ungreatful Asshole Deadheads

by Go Fuck yourselves Thursday, Apr. 10, 2003 at 6:25 PM

Sending that shit to our troops will only lower the morale and work to the advantage of the enemy. I hope none of the troops ever see any of your fucking antiamerican E-mails. Just because you don'y like Bush, you don't have to take it out on the men and women protecting your freedom. I seriously never hated anyone in my life, but I can honestly say that I do hate all peace protestors. I respect all races worldwide, including Arabs, but you people are just so evil that I can't stand it, I have to say that I hate you. Not because of your race, but because you are so ungreatful and you even support the wrong team.

by Simple Simon Thursday, Apr. 10, 2003 at 8:17 PM

Ronald Reagan in his dotage is smarter than you'll ever be.

Ronald Reagan while President rescued this country from depression, recession, inflation and stagnation. He revitalized the economy and took the burden of government off of the backs of the middle class.

He rebuilt and reenergized a military establishment that had suffered defeat after defeat since the conclusion of the Vietnam war.

He used the might of the American economy and the American military to win the Cold War - and today hundreds of millions of people in Eastern Europe and around the world breathe free (and thank him) because of his courage.

And all you can do is smear your excrement on the walls of hatermedia.

You are kidding, right?

by Dear Eric/Simple Thursday, Apr. 10, 2003 at 8:25 PM

Ronald Reagan is and was an asshole. I know the jerk personally. I met him in the early 1960's when he was running for governor.

Trust me, after speaking with him for 2 minutes, it was extremely clear that the man is very, very dumb. He was our modern day Robin Hood:

STEAL FROM THE POOR AND GIVE TO THE RICH.

I don't know, Eric, if you are from California, but there is a bit of irony in what the asshole did as governor. He is the one who closed most of the mental health clinics which put so many homeless on the streets. And now, he is the one who is in need of one.

May this Evil Man rot in hell.

There's a bit of irony in you post, too.

by Eric is a Fool Thursday, Apr. 10, 2003 at 9:04 PM

You really are clueless. Let's see....so Reagan was voted as the 6th most popular president.

Hmmmmm.....that's makes him a great president. If something is popular that makes it great. That's your logic? Wow, you are really a deep thinker. I am impressed - NOT!!!

Reagan is a sick joke. Get a clue, Dummy.

He's ranked 11th best President of all time by Historians.

by Eric Thursday, Apr. 10, 2003 at 9:13 PM

The consensus is in. He was great.

And you're still an idiot.

"Consensus by whom?"

By Americans and Historians alike.

by Simple Simon Friday, Apr. 11, 2003 at 12:08 AM

KPC, hey, you're back!

Long time no see, I guess you've been busy fighting the good fight - you know, opposing the liberation of the Iraqi people? What's next on your agenda?

The Herculean acheivements of Ronald Reagan speak for themselves. All your bile and invective won't change the fact that he will be remembered as the most signifigant and important President of the second half of the 20th Century.

You live in a world bequeathed to you by the genius of this man. And like Cincinnatus before him, he served humbly and returned to his plow.

How very unlike that moral reprobate from Arkansas or that anti-Semitic charlatan from Georgia.

by thomas Friday, Apr. 11, 2003 at 7:48 AM

How are you suppose to live without a car? Moronic left-sided liberals. You need to wake-up to the fact that one day when shit hits the fan, its going to be your fault for siding with the enemy. When are you going to grow up and realize that this country is founded on truth and liberty for all. And dont forget that you have it good compared to other countries. They would kill you if you said something wrong. Or looked at their womens.

So get it together you dummies and realize that our president Bush is paving the way for a new breed of founding fathers based on more liberty and justice. Did not the Iraqis have a TV in their hands today? So now that we won and you lost, I can get back to my reality TV shows, sporting events, porno, and Mc Donalds.

To anyone entertaining the idea that sending anti-war emails to deployed troops is a good thing:

The troops are there because they HAVE to be. Reminder: they don't get a choice. Regardless of whether they feel the war is good or bad they are laying their lives on the line in the name of democracy and our collective freedom! To send them anti-war messages is wrong. All you'll do is demoralize the troops and exacerbate the hardships they are already experiencing (ie. separation from friends and family, facing death)

You people are pathetic.

if you don't want to believe that's war is ok then that's fine. it's war, not murder. murder is a crime done out of hate to another person. anyway U.S. troops are fighting for freedom, that some of you don't even deserve because you have no respect for what they are doing. until you've been out there and experienced what it means to "fight for your life" then I think you all need to stop runnin your mouths.
