I never gave a justification for the War In Iraq. I never said the war was right or wrong ( I have personal feelings because I fought in the war, but I'm not letting that get in the way of anything here) You asked why war exists. I gave a simple explanation.

War exists because someones view differs from the other. Another person or country has something the other wants. Religous wars, Political wars, battles for freedom, battles for slavery.

No one can justify each war, but you can easily sit back and criticize someones motives behind it. The US isn't always right and is the last to admit it was wrong. Anyone can see that.


There isn't always room for peace. Sometimes peace is not the answer. I can't say what was the right course of action for Iraq. I simply have to sit back and hope my leaders decisions are the correct ones.

fucking hijack another thread, not this one

don't turn this remember your veterans into an anti usa or anti country fucking thread.

remember your veterans..only reason i started it.

"shut up fag" ... lol, your credibility for participating in an intelligent conversion has just diminished... go back to ICQ chatrooms



Anyways, in what way was I being anti-American? With only 1 major super power nation, I'm glad it is a democratic, somewhat reasonable country like America. just saying, you can't justify war by saying "it's a part of life" ... and ya ... I guess I generalized a nation but it wasn't my intent to be anti-american.

I never said that it being a part of life was a justification for the war in Iraq. You asked why war exists I gave the simplest explanation for it.

Take this discussion out of a rememberance thread and PM me as I did you or make another thread. Although there really is no reason to beat a dead horse. This discussion has went around the table again and again.

when I saw that new Remembrance day commercial w/ the kid calling his grandfather from france "oh are the ladies as pretty as I remember in paris?"
Grandpa, Im not in Paris, Im in Dieppe.

I FUCKING CRIED
and actually I am now too.

all too many men women, children and innocents died so that I can live my life the way I chose.
Thank you

You negatively generalized a country but dont want to be seen as anti? what other category did you possibly see yourself falling under?

turned my thread into exactly what I asked it not to be turned into.
