Antonio, I'm curious....you seem to be against OEF. So, if you were in the military does that mean you would not fight? Originally posted by Antonio:

BS, plain and simple. I was in multiple combat zones, including some very bloody battles where I lost close friends. You are making a broad generalization based upon your ADMITTEDLY limited military career. Do NOT try to say that you know how those of us who have actually SERVED feel, for as I stated before, you are a washout from bootcamp, and were never even given a military graduation. You were NOT "in the military", you "tried to be in the military". Big difference when trying to use your experiences as basis of fact.

EternalOne, I am not acting like I served. All I am saying is I love this country so much that I attempted to fight and possibly die for the great country. What is wrong with that? I respect you and everyone that has fully served. I wish I was among the likes of you.

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Ryan, yes I would fight. Even though I would agree with the reasons. I am still fighting for my country and I will do anything to reach that goal. I would be more concerned about surviving.
Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.

i bet if the US had originally tried to go to war on the pretense of the "liberation of iraq" bush would've been laughed off of the planet.
as far as volunteering to fight in any war...i'd try to join the military in a second to protect our homeland if another nation attacked us first OR the US was in imminent and legitimate clear and present danger from the nation in question.

TMK, it was always called OEF. So if something doesn't effect you, you don't care eh.

Yes, the world's intelligence agencies made up a huge lie so that the US could invade, MI5, CIA, Russkies, etc....:rollseyes: Originally posted by BP:

I see idiots like Sean Hannity and other talking heads(many on this board) spout all this nonsense BUT they are not over there fighting NOR are thier kids. If you believe so much in the cause then sign up.
I'm pro supporting our troops and our commander in chief. Thats all i support.

That's precisely why the Democratic party and your ideology were just voted against: 1) You only respond to attacks (I don't buy the idea that you'd take pre-emptive action), and 2) You don't understand what an imminent and legitimate threat is.
