Yep, I told you so...

Nowheres near as common as it was in Nam, this war is just as useless at that one.

I've read about a lot of things, but since I wasn't there, I try not to get too excited about my views. I like live Americans, so you know if they have to do....well , whatever that would better their odds of survival, then let them go ahead with said procedure. I think the USA went to Iraq, being led by a lie. That has nothing to do with my ideas about what our troops should be allowed to do to stay alive. Like I said before , I'd rather our troops stay healthy. Whatever they have to do, to remain so, is good with me.

Not directed at you my man, sorry about that.

Just saying that kids are still being used to kill our Men and Women. Those kids are being taught to shoot our soldiers as soon as they are able to pull the trigger.

In war the enemy comes in all forms, age has nothing to do with it, it's a kill or be killed mentality.

There is no such thing as a "nice" war. The rules of engagement are useless unless honored by everyone involved. Our troops are already in a dangerous sitiation. Some feel this should be made even worse by being "nice" to the people who are trying to kill them. It is easy to sit in the safety of our homes and say our troops should do this or should not do that. I guarantee those opinions would change if these same people were the ones in the line of fire. Throughout history how many of our troops survived because of the old "shoot first and ask questions later" mentality? Don't knock it until your life depends on it.

I know its a movie, but this is pretty much what I say to r13 and his view on war. You go on and on about freedoms and rights and then you question the manner in which it is provided.....

I know where they come from, Iraq was no threat to my freedom or the US.

Are you in the CIA? Do you have military clearance? You have no idea what they were really. Citizens, don't know what goes on behind the scenes, and what the government really knows. I don't want to know. We don't need to know. For all you know, they could have had something pointed right at us. The government doesn't tell us everything because they don't want to start mass hysteria.
Did you see Obama's first press conference after he was elected? He said after meeting with military personel, and becoming privy to info he wasn't before, he was going to have to rethink his plans on Iraq. When questioned about it, the look on his face told it all. He looked like "wow, I didn't know what the [censored] i was talking about".
