The Victory Thread

Your argument:

Soldiers like being at home and drinking beer, so the best way for the US to support its troops would be to not ever do any fighting.

Similar arguments using the same line of thinking:

The President likes playing golf so the best way to support the President would be to make him play golf all the time.

Crackheads like crack so the best way for the US to support crackheads would be to give them crack.

Teenage guys want to have sex so the best way for the US to support teenage guys would be to give them whores.

Tell the Vietnam vet at the rally hes dumb.

My point: You made the point as if you were saying it. Use quotes and definition before you cop out by saying "Oh, wait, I heard someone else say it!"

My bad.

I actually came upon that thought when listening to a speech at the Vietnam Vets Against War rally on CSPAN.

"Came upon" doesn't imply that it was a veteran who had that thought - if anything, the way you wrote it would lead someone to believe that you had the idea yourself while listening to the speech.

Don't quote someone approvingly if you don't agree. Stone was pointing at you.

Why wouldn't I, the statement doesn't become any less stupid because a veteran said it.

No, those were his exact words, I threw in the Budweiser part though. =)

You cant apply the same logic to different scenarios. The world aint black and white.

How can you agree, if by your own admission, you have no right to guess what "supporting our troops" means?
