Ubi bene ibi patria
"Cpl. David Thibodeaux was in Iraq with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, when the Dixie Chicks partnered with anti-war group MoveOn.org in 2004. Despite the band making headlines with anti-war views, he didn’t know much about them, he says.

Nevertheless, Thibodeaux now sings “Not Ready to End the Fight,” an “answer song” to the Dixie Chicks’ 2006 anti-war hit, “Not Ready to Make Nice.”

“I’ve seen so many good things happen in Iraq, and I don’t think it’s time for the war to end,” said Thibodeaux, a member of the Chemical and Biological Incident Response Force. “Anybody who doesn’t think there are terrorists out there should open their eyes.”

Featuring backing music from members of Toby Keith’s Easy Money Band, the song has been played on radio stations across the country. A music video will be released soon.

How did a Louisiana native stationed in Indian Head, Md., find himself recording music in Nashville? It began when another Marine, Maj. Deryl Michael, and Tim Hernandez, a friend who had worked in the music business, watched the Dixie Chicks accept their Grammy on TV in 2007. They decided that night to write a response song and find an active-duty serviceman to sing it."

I could never understand how you could not support the war but support the troops. I'm being sincere here. Could someone please try to explain this to me.

It's possible to want to support the troops and give them the moral and material support they need, but not support the cause. You can't understand that?

I don't support the war. I don't support that fact that my brothers were sent to defend a country they don't live in when they can't even drink.... but I support my brothers. I don't support my friend watching two of his men die because they were hit by an IED..... but I support my friend. I don't support my Father spending years away from me and his other children so he can walk through rubble and mortar........but I support my Father. I don't support my best friend being a "single Mom" for 2.5 out of the 4 years her son has been born so her husband can go defend the waters of a country we don't live in.......but I support my best friend. Now do you understand how you can support our soliders but not the war???

I don't understand that. That's like saying you loathe cars, but support auto makers. Why would you give them the morale and materials to fight a cause you do not agree with?

We can either fight the war on their turf or ours. Would it make you feel better to bring all the terrorists to the US and duke it out over here?

No, I don't understand.

:shrug: Because they're out there fighting. They're not the ones who made the decision.

Do you agree with everything your boss does? NO! But you suck it up and do it b.c it's your duty. Same with a solider. They chose to defend our country, but that doesn't mean that they feel this war is needed. Would you rather no one stepped up to defend our country and they institute a draft and take them against their will? Our men put their lives on the line every day, and just b.c they think it's right to defend our country doesn't mean they think it's right to still be over in Iraq 5 years later!
