I said you'd be dancing too if you were Dubya. Which argument are YOU talking about, that Bush is a jackass? <-(the original thread's argument)

Ah ok I see ... then I retract my confusion. I thought you were arguing that I support bush. But I agree with your Bush is a jackass assessment ...

For what it's worth, most of the soldiers in the military, as well as their families, know damn well what their choice of service means, and what the potential consequences could ultimately be. However, they believe that it is an honor to serve. While their families may endure great sadness if anything happens to their loved ones, they generally also take great pride in the fact that their loved ones choose such an honorable path. Besides, it is each and every man's(not a sexist remark) decision what they choose to do with their own life--so if they choose to be a soldier, then that's their decision to be a soldier. Let's not forget that the U.S. Military is a volunteer organization.

while i agree with you, i'm not entirely sure how this is relevent. The problem isn't that the soldiers are complaining. The problem is that Bush unnecessarily put the lives of all american troops in Iraq at even greater risk by taunting the terrorist factions that still exist just because he has a hard-on for war.

I don't think he's necessarily got a "hard-on" for war, as you put it. More that he's just going full on to make sure that the U.S. doesn't have to experience another September 11th. Is he going to far? Only time will tell.

You said basically everything that I was thinking.

A soldier also wants to feel that the cause he or she is fighting for is an honerable one.

and you don't think that by further inciting radical-Islamic passions he's not at the same time guaranteeing that it will happen again?

I just found out that the media is censored by the pentagon from covering the flag-draped caskets returning home...I was wondering why they never showed that on the news.



The American public needs to see that imo.
