Who is "WE"? The only one's getting killed over there are US soldiers who volunteered for the duty or US civilian contractorss who volunteer as well.
No one is making you fight, so understand that those who are over there want to be there. There are exceptions (pussies are everywhere, even in the military sometimes), but for the most part every young private who enlisted to fight did so keeping in mind that in this post-9/11 world, the odds of going to war are very high.
I appreciate your concern (and hopefully your support) for our troops, but keep this in mind next time you say to leave those countries.
Regardless of what you read in the newspaper or see on TV, the Armed Forces and the Commander in Chief have the balls to fight for anything. Too bad that not all Americans do, too.
Like the saying goes - "Pulling out is not always the best means of control!" So it goes for sex and war! :lol:[/quote]
Let me make myself clear. I believe going into Iraq and removing Saddam WAS the thing to do, based on the info we had at the time.
I support OUR troops 100%. I must beg to differ on everyone that is there volunteered and wanted to go.
There are far too many Reservists, who basically joined for an education (and boy they are getting a hell of an education over there)
Many of these reservists have families, and probably are not really happy about being there.
As I said, I support the troops 100%, that is why I now believe it is time to remove them from Iraq and Afghanastan-Out of harms way, and let the poeple in these countries shit for themselves. It certainly appears they dont want us there, and after watching many a beheading, or an IED blowing a humvee to bits, while those doing the beheadings or detonating the IED are chanting Allah Akbar in a rather braindead manner. Well it mkaes me feel that trying to help these people is a total waste.
Pull our troops out, and cut off any and all aid. If they give us any shit-let the Air Force bomb them into the stone age.
I personally wish the Commander in Cheif had the balls to stop the destruction of the Social Security system, Stop the flow of illegal aliens across the border, search all the containers coming into the USA, and stop sening BILLIONS of Dollars to IRAQ!
There are far too many homeless people, people who need health care, people who live in ran down houses, un-educated people, and folks who live from month to month right here in the USA.
Fix our Country up first, then help the other countries out-IF they want help that is.
As Ex-USAF--I alway have believed it far better to bomb strange people to bits from the air than it is to personally turn them into a canoehead.
