I am a patriot, I DID serve, but I have not killed any American soldiers. Your argument doesn't even make sense.
It would make sense if you'd been there -- and seen how encouraging the enemy kills American soldiers.

Calling those with different points of view who volunteered to serve in the infantry (rather than being drafted, or running the risk of a draft if they didn't "volunteer") isn't the best way to convince others.The same whining complaint used by shirkers in every way -- the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam. "Well, I'd fight a different war, but not this war."
Sometimes, this forum just plain disgusts me. Now is one of those times.
That about right, Vern?
You still have made a statement accusing me indirectly of killing American soldiers. I have not done this.It would make sense if you'd been there -- and seen how encouraging the enemy kills American soldiers.
Make that our entire congress that voted in favor of the Iraq War ResolutionThe current idiot (choose whoever makes you happy) gets us involved in a war. Maybe that should be "war" since we seem to like police actions now.
Did you cut and paste that remark from the DU?It's pretty clear that the idiot in charge really is an idiot, and is likely a lying bastard as well.
No, it is your opinion however misguided you may be.Calling him on being a lying bastard, and suggesting that the "war" he got us involved in is idiocy, is wrong.
Maybe if you and those that believed like you could compete in the marketplace of ideas you would see that reflected in government policy.It's wrong because, well, it's not supporting the idiot. And because sometime, more people might see the idiocy for what it is, and decide we've had enough idiocy.
I think there's a disconnect here. You're not hearing what I'm saying, or where I'm coming from.As opposed to those who give aid and comfort to the enemy? Who encourage him to hang on, telling him that if he kills enough Americans, he can win in the streets of the United States what he cannot win in battle?
Spitting on returning soldiers? That's your idea of patriotism?
(And yes, I've heard the argument, "Well, I didn't spit on anyone." But you encourage those who do.)
They're at it again.
The anti-war people can take full credit for that -- they created the enemy victory in Viet Nam.
2) End this stop-loss nonsense. If troops ETS-ing and going home leaves the military short, start pulling troops from the other hundred-odd places we have them. The Berlin Wall is gone, the USSR is no more, do we really need that big of a presence in Europe?
We need a presence anywhere we can get a presence.
HA!the Army wich has had low sign ups is becuse they had some of the highest req.
At least you don't try to disguise it as some greater or more noble cause.
Vern, your ignorant stereotypes and BS are quite annoying
and soldiers returning from this war have been spit on, too.
Sources, please?
And what does helping the enemy have to do with 'anti-war'???
