Here was my Facebook Response:
Support Our Troops.
Thanks for your service.
You were getting too fat anyway.
Those stupid young patriots that put their lives and well being on the line when their country asked really blew it. Just because you served does not mean your country has any obligation what so ever to reciprocate when you come home perhaps partially broken and permanently changed.

Our troops were not competent enough to find the WMD's Saddam cleverly hid. Mission not accomplished! Maybe if they had done a better job we would coddle them more by supplementing their selfish need for nutrition.
Plus they tortured people over there and killed lots of civilians. At least their suicide rate is abnormally high so that will lessen our burden to keep them fed, clothed and sheltered.
And none of them ever thanked America for all those yellow Support the Troops ribbons. We all did our part, especially going shopping. It's too bad they weren't capable of doing theirs!
