You know what I hate about most liberals? (note I said most, I'm not saying it's all liberals.) The fact that they think they know everything about the war in Iraq. I have two points to make. 1, They do stress on how many soldiers die per day and have died throughout the war. That's fine, yes it is concerning. However, don't pretend like the government put a gun to a soldiers head and said "you have to join." Every soldier that joined knew what they were getting into, and made the choice. 2nd, yes we did start the war for wrong reasons. For me, I don't care why we started the war, IMO I'm glad we did. People don't get to see the whole picture of this place. They don't get to see the joy on a child's face as you pass through giving them food and water. They don't get to see people with their limbs chopped off because Saddam thought of them as a threat shake your hand with the only one they have left saying "Thanks." They don't see any of the positives that are coming out of this war. We live in a society where the only good news is bad news.

Cramerica, there is quite a few Veterans around Allstocks..............Your statement reminds me of a South East Asian War many of us were involved in. I may of written a letter home similar to yours, in some ways, myself..After a couple of months in country? well many of us stopped writting home.
I was a Regular Army enlistee [3yr].. 'Was 18 yrs old and in Hawaii surfing, North Shore of Oahu, when I had to enlist for the Draft... A party got busted and I was arrested the next day on the beach for not showing up on time for induction. Well, the Surfing was extreme, and I took a few xtra weeks before showing up...Really got um P.O'D...... Anyway, this slick NCO convinced me I should go for 3....Ready for this? everything about my well, shall we say, tardiness, would be erased.. Took the deal, wound up active for 2 then 1.5 reserve... Just a heads up, when units start standing down all around you, well, it can get a bit dicey.....The NVA and Charlee' sure took advantage of the situation in the Coastal and Central Highlands area's I was in..Rest of country> probably the same, don't know..It's one of those forgotten times of U.S envolvement for the Army, not much is said about Tet of [72]..
Subject: Hate......You are about on course there for a Warrior, many G,I'S if not most have to deal with it, it takes awhile, but it does subside..After all, we can't do the Happy dance when we have to do what has to be done..Those that do? well they have real problems anyway...
Have no idea what your plans are, BUT! When you get out, make sure you are registered with V.A medical, and MAKE SURE you get a Baseline complete Blood workup on record. Later on it could save an offsprings life, including your own.. There is several Vets who have confided in me that some very strange medical problems are taking them down, far more than the normal populace..I got bushwhacked some 27 yrs later by Agent Orange. Not complaining, heck of a lot better off than so many other Disabled Veterans...Stay in touch with us, maybe we can be of help to you some day..

This would solve the problem. Would mostly stop the spread of AIDS and other STD's also. Of course, I know that the majority of people can't control their hormones...too bad for them, and their aborted babies.

And if you went off to Central America and got bit by a mes-kee-tow bug that had been sucking on some sick guy before and you come down with a deadly desease, forget about any medical help from the ewe-hess-ov-hey. You knew the rules and you went down there where them bugs was anyway!
That's right...one of your best posts ever.

I don't know a whole lot about what goes on in reproductive clinics. Personally, I don't think we should be creating embryo's which will be later destroyed. If my wife and I had trouble having kids we would go as far as artificial insemination, but that's it. After that we would adopt.

At least you are consitant Ramius. I'll give you that.
Still don't agree with your "Just don't do it" philosophy as I think it is unrealistic.

i have to say that this is typical mindless follow the leader drivel... it makes about as much sense as Bush claiming he's leading a great economic "recovery" by spending 6billion$ of OUR dollars each month that he's borrowing from China to give these poor people water....
it doesn't matter if you do the right thing by lying?
we are there, we need to finish the job, only thing is? it isn't getting finished and it isn't gonna get finished anytime soon... like in the next 5 years (and i'm being optimistic with 5)...
and that's part of the lying too... why it won't be finished i mean... follow the money.... you are being robbed and you are cheering the theives on as they rob you blind
has it ever occurred to you that "people" don't see the "good side" because every time the journalists go out to document it, they get kidnapped and beheaded? sheesh...

My wife and I discussed this before we got married...as we did many other topics that are often "deal breakers"(how many kids, child rearing techniques, finances, where we would like to live, etc)

I know...it is unrealistic... but it would be if nice if more of us practiced what I preach. Sure would solve some problems.

Typical response from somebody that only has his information from news. I would expect nothing more.

Hahahaha.
That is straight from the goose stepping Party line Party line rhetoric. And it's a lot of horse crap!
How csn you have the audacity to claim you expect more when you feed us that Party line crap?
Hey, tell me, what do they do to punish you if you forget to kick your boot high enough when goose stepping?

they? or we?
when i was in? we didn't talk politics... even amongst each other... as a civilian? it is our duty to try to make sure our govt is a govt by the people and for the people...
we have come dangerously close to losing that IMO...

oh I'm there, believe me. And the only reason I'm on the internet right now, is the fact that I'm not on mission at the moment and am on the Iraq/kuwait border more on the kuwait side. I never argued the fact that this war should have happened because it shouldn't have. That's not what I'm trying to get at here. My point is, this war, to me at least, is about helping people that need help. I don't give 2 sh!ts about the politics and the money it costs. If I can personally help out even just a handful of people that would have otherwise died at the hands of Saddam, then to me, there is no price tag you can put on that.

If you ask me, you are wrapping yourself in self aggrandisement via claims of intending to do good for victims we never were there to help (note the "we"). We didn't accept the invasion of Iraq as a means of saving Iraqis from Saddam, but to save "us" from Saddam. Saddly, it was all a tremendous lie that Saddam was a threat to "us" and we illegally invaded a sovereign nation.
Neglecting consideration of responsibility for the invasion of Iraq and fostering the lie that it was for the purpose of removing Saddam is sinful and disrespectful of actual patriotism. Too, what about the thousands and thousands of Iraqis that were entirely safe before the invasion that are not anymore, along with the thousands and thousands that are yet to loose life in this war? Do you consider them?

Buddy let me break it down for you in "LAME-MANS" terms. After 9/11 this country went from reactive(Clinton era) to proactive. Basically we went to our SHlT list and Iraq was number two! Heres the list im sure theyll be some of your future threads.
1 Afghanistahn 2 Iraq 3 Iran 4 syria 5 Korea(but really japan and chinas problem) 6 France(your home town)
List is subject to change providing cia's installation of new governments.
You must be one of those guys that voted for the war but now against it......I REKON!

Cramerica, i'm glad you feel that your work is worthy. We will be doing this work for a long time.
However? as we face one crisis after another together as a nation? keep in mind that we had many many options after 911...
i have done much more than watch TV to formulate the opinions that i share here. I don't expect ANYBODY to say "wow glassy is right"... i do expect people to say i disagree with you and here's why...
i don't want to get into discussions with anyone facing combat about the morality of the war... you didn't decide to wage this war.. you have orders.... i don't want to withdraw from Iraq until we have stabilised the region... that isn't likely to happen at all...
i DO want people that make BAD decisions to be held accountable... if you really are in Kuwait and doing military missions for US in Iraq, i wish you Godspeed...
i will not stand by and listen to anybody try to tell me we have done a big favor for a poor down-trodden people tho...
they deserve waht they got, because they built it.... we'll never have the kind of relationship with Iraq like Bush tries to sell US...
success over there will have to be measured somehow, but i don't see anybody with even a hint of what success over there might actually be...
good luck to you...
