i think perform brilliantly and i do think there is some way to commemorate it. greg: are you you in the going to give them a parade then what do you do. in new york, troops are around. see them, make sure york buy them got to buy them a drink. kimberly: hug them. andrea: i always hug them. kimberly: you know what they need? they need jobs. a lot of them are good organizations. boston news corp foster it and do a great job getting people internship and mentorship and back in the workforce to make income. greg: i could use help around the place. eric: cue up the rick perry sound from earlier today. it really disturbing me after nine years of war in iraq that this president wouldn t welcome home our heros with a simple parade in their honor.
eric: welcome back to the five. for over eight years brave men and women risked their lives every day for freedom in iraq. more than a week ago, the last troops were pulled out of the country. and the war technically ended. the obama administration isn t planning a parade for troops to celebrate their homecoming. officials in new york and washington have said they have not been asked to plant anything in honor to sacrifice the great service, military personnel have provided. greg, you love parades. greg: you know it. eric: can t we find one more parade? greg: this bothers me. we have parades for people who are born that way. irish parade. you were born irish. gay parade. you were born gay. puerto rican parade. sorry, kimberly. but have a parade for people
animosity they faced coming home. andrea: i have to disagree. i think we should honor the troops 100% for what they did. i am not going to blast the administration for not having one of the big parades like they do for the yankees? why, violence as you pointed out has started to escalate. i can understand their fear. like having a huge parade. what about a ceremony, something nice at yankee stadium. but a parade when more troops could be killed on their way out, more civilians. the violence is escalating. i understand that. a nice ceremony would be the way to go. bob: there is more important reason for not having the parade. we re still at war in afghanistan. you don t have a war parade, victory parade while at the same time you is the military kimberly: it s a homecoming. bob: but it s different. you don t want to do that.
