Sending 20,000 more men in there is the worst thing he could have done. I guess he didn't learn anything from Nam-oh yeah thats right, Bush was snorting coke at a country club when that was going on.

If I were a father, I'd rather my son stay a civilian than come home a hero in 4 different boxes.

I've had responsibilty for more 20 year olds than all of you. Its gutless and worthless to teach them that your country is not worth dying for. You have no idea. Most 20-year olds want to be guided to the CAUSES that are worth fighting for. You pansies would have then believe a big paycheck and a soft life was the only thing worth sacrificing for. I'm happy to say that most of your kids are more noble than their parents. War and combat summon the best from our civilization, and there are 4'11" female Soldiers I have trained that blow you wimps away. That's just the facts.

Like Auschwitz, Nuclear Weapons, Trench Warfare, the Siege of Stalingrad, the Rape of Nanking, the slaughter of the Indians, the My Lai Massacre?

Sounds like a children's tale to me.

Woman. You dare compare the bravery of American troops with Stalin and Hitler? You are a bloodsucker living off the sacrifice of better men.

Dumbass.

The only thing I'm doing is refuting the 19th Century ideal that War somehow brings out the best in people. It doesn't in this country, and it doesn't in any other country.

But, let's entertain your thesis about just America:

How then, do you reconcile internment camps? Were they just large collectives for the Japanese to experience boy scout life?

What about the US lacing the milk suppy with strontium 90 and giving it to pregnant women so that they could study the effects of radiation on women and their fetuses?

Or, we could bring up Abu Ghraib. That was awesome.

What's even funnier about you is that you talk about how you train women who are stronger than all of us, then use it as a pejorative in your next post. Contradict yourself much?

Lighten up Francis.....dont forget that people who save lives are also heroes and those who's conscience's wont allow them to kill their fellow man have a place in this world too.

More holier than thou garbage. Any person in their right mind as a parent would not want to send their own child to war. That's why they have their own choice. And I would be proud of my child to want to fight for my freedom but also the war would have to be just that, fighting for my freedom, which the war we are currently in has nothing to do with my or anyone elses freedoms in America. In argument if my child wanted to join any of the armed forces fine, I back my child 100% but don't agree with the circumstances of said war.
