The majority of the military are already the lower class. The people who you want to forget are the ones who are fighting for you. -Pat [/quote]Pat- I have to say on behalf of many military members that not all who are deployed have a meal such as the pictures that were displayed to you. It was for moral purposes only and the fact that you believe that those soldiers didn't deserve something such as a home cooked meal as their lives are on the line means you are a very confused person. I remember you stated that you were not a soldier, i can see that now. And yes we all did volunteer to put our lives on the line and we do it willingly even for people like you so that you can have your free opinion on boards such as these. HOwever before assuming things about us military members i would say get your ass up and go over there. I myself spent 7 months in the desert where we had NO showers and we were lucky to even have baby wipes. Your bed was the hole you dug in the ground. Now i know what you are thinking "well you signed up for that" and yes in a way i did. I signed up for many things and i knew one day i would have to put my life on the line however the difference between you and me is that you TALK but are NO action. and you are right we don't need snack cakes, we don't want them. What we want is to come back home to American soil and know that there are people out there like the individuals who posted to you who appreciate what we do bc not alot of ppl can leave their families as we must. To tell them that we cannot tell them where we are going, when we are getting there or calling them once we land due to our own safety. I hope in the coming years when you get a little older you'll realize many sacrifices given by many for you to turn your back on the one's who die so that you may sleep in your bed at night.

* i salute my troops and i'm sorry for those who don't*
