I am a Registered Republican. I know a thing or two about supporting our troops. I have given two sons to the United States military. One is a Reservist who went in with the first wave into Iraq, the second is a career marine who went to Iraq 16 months after Bush declared ‘mission accomplished’. Before one of my sons left, he went online to buy himself a helmet that would better protect him than the one which was issued to him by the US military. If anybody doesn’t support the troops its Bush - he sent my sons to war with no plan. They were ill-prepared and the result is more and more casualties everyday. As a mother of the troops I know that supporting our men and women serving overseas is not the same as supporting George Bush.
