I think this 9/11 concert is a wonderful...
way to show how much our government supports the troops. In a time when our deficit is at an all time high and our troops are sorely lacking for armor and other such items, our government is throwing a concert in the park!

It is good to see our money being put to good use when they are running down our troops with two and three tours of duty. When troops are out their trying to defend themselves without proper equipment. When they are using back door loopholes to get troops back in that thought they were long ago finished.

This administration makes me sick with 'all of their support'.

1. I am sure the FDNY is thrilled about this, (NOT)
or those who had families that lost their lives

Are the people in this country really that stupid?

2. I think this is a recruiting scam.
You have to register to get in. Check out the form and you will see how it might be very useful to your friendly Army recruiter.

4. these things are never about the troops (as we all know)
they are always about boosting support for a country's leader and working people into a patriotic fervor

it's propaganda, nothing more....

Just another tool of government to control the masses...

6. I think I may go.
I wonder if they will let me in with a banner that says, "Peace, Freedom and Democracy Through Superior Firepower," or "Kill All Towelheads!"

Might be funny to see the horrified republican picnicers. :D

8. Sorta reminds me of Bush's inaugural ball
Spends millions of dollars to honor himself while our troops are dying on a daily basis and lack some of the most basic necessities.
