[Grovenet] Is This Why The "Support Our Troops" Signs Dissappeared

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I heard it on the radio the other day and started looking around myself.
It's true. Almost all of those little plastic "Support our Troops" ribbons
have disappeared from cars everywhere! 

Then I see this in the today's news:

"Soldiers in Iraq urge Gates to send more troops"

"(Secretary of Defense) Gates had breakfast with U.S. soldiers to hear their
views...

"Sir, I think we need to just keep doing what we're doing," Specialist Jason
Glenn told Gates.

"I really think we need more troops here. With more presence on the ground,
more troops might hold them (the insurgents) off long enough to where we can
get the Iraqi army trained up."

None of the soldiers present said U.S. forces should be brought home, and
none said current troop levels were adequate."

But there seems little support for that idea at home.   

My, oh my. How times have changed.
