Odd, isn’t it?

Filed under: General — Bunker @ 8:06 am

After reading one of those well-crafted comments, where the writer displays a complete mastery of the English language while making cogent points about the illegitimacy of the war in Iraq, I had to make a not-so-astute observation.

For the last three years we have been involved in conflict with Islamofascists. During that time, a clear divide has exposed itself between those who support the war and the young men and women fighting it, and those who opposed the conflict and claim to support the troops. A big clue for that group: It is impossible to support the troops without supporting what they are doing.

Isn’t it odd that those who oppose the fighting, in general, are unaffected by it. Those who support it, again in general, are ones with a personal stake in the outcome.

The loudest opposition comes from those who are not only not involved, but don’t even know anyone who is. Not just that, but they don’t want to know anyone involved.

Sarah has done a little research on the subject, and the results didn’t surprise me a bit.
