See, a lot of people like you don't get the fact that these soldiers are there because of duty and honor, and because they want to serve their country.
Was it Somalia? I suppose that country was full of fans of the Illiad or something.Quote:
What about the dead bodies of US soldiers being dragged through the streets in places like Bosnia and Yugoslavia
They have their fair share of savages, same goes for Iraq.

Now someone quote this for MVS :)
And yet he bothered to have a camera crew come along to file the whole thing for the evening news.Quote:

Haha, damn son. Bush has a lot of qualities similar with Stalin doesn't he? Everyone has morale convictions, especially from sending young men to die. What you all still don't understand is that is our job and our business. I very well may get zapped in the service but I signed on with full knowledge and don't try to act a pussy about it. Do I think President Bush cares about life? Yes. Why? Because if he didn't I think you would all be able to tag another level of evil on our President.
But surely people sign up for the military with the valid assumption the government will only put them in harm's way when it is absolutely necessary. The command of the military is not something to be taken lightly, Bush does not understand that. He was practically giddy to get those troops over there, the thought of having the inspectors first was like telling a little boy he can't play with his toys till after supper. And his number one reason, in fact sole reason before the war, for sending people over there has still not materialized. Not even one tiny little shred of evidence of weapons of mass destruction. All for naught.
Willing to die is one thing. Willing to die for no reason whatsoever is another. I seriously think a requirement for Presidency should be service in the military. Don't you think that would change their views on throwing men to their deaths?
And whether I'm in the military or will ever be in the military, that 150 billion+ dollars is still coming out of my pocket.
Alright Lithium that's fair enough, but the point is that a majority of the people in the military agree with the war in Iraq, maybe the war hasn't served it's original purpose but when you see a bunch of cheering people it makes it worth-while.
I do think the President should serve in the military, that's actually a very good point to bring up. It brings something out of a man so maybe EVERYONE should at least give a year of service?:P Maybe that's a little extreme but you really can't argue too much negative points against it other then people don't want to.
Bush rox. I think he should fast occasionally though so the crazy libs can't say he's a greedy meanie. Even if he is greedy, fasting teaches you humility. St Matthew 6:16-18
Of course they do - what's the other option? Either they are "heroes" who are "liberating" Iraq, or they are simply doing the bidding of an administration with other priorities - which one would they rather have their families back home believing?Quote:

If your son or daughter was one of the thousands of troops dead or injured somehow by this mess what would YOU want to believe? That there was a genuinely "good" purpose or that they were/are a tool for profit-driven warmongers? Especially considering that in alot of cases if you don't support the first statement you might be labeled as "anti-American" or a terrorism supporter, etc. etc. by some in the media, friends, family, or others in the military for certain. With the apparent climate in the military I'm not even sure it's SAFE to be against Bush or anything but a Republican - it's "don't ask don't tell" policy for non-Republicans!
