I protest.

Support the troops!

Unlike Bush, who seems to think that "supporting the troops" means "making their lives as miserable as possible," I do feel very much for those unfortunate enough to be stuck in Iraq with no idea when they may come home. Today I ran across a blog by one of those people, moja's "<...turningtables...>." Check it out.

While I was there, though, I ran across a reference to an organization that is putting their words into actions, a bunch called "Operation Military Pride." While I would call myself "pround of our military," these folks do seem to be doing their best to keep folks' morale up and to provide a way for the rest of us to chip in a bit. Considering that their superiors won't support them, I guess that it has to be up to the rest of us to fill in.

So hop over there and start corresponding with a soldier on the ground in Iraq or send a care package.

And with a little luck (and a lot of letter-writing), Congress will begin to get the message and will start pressuring Bush to bring them home.

Maybe that will take more than a little luck. Sigh.
