Reagan, badfish is doing his job. It came with being in the military; if you can't respect that, allow me to say I'm damn glad you're not over there.
Why the **** would I goto Iraq?
"Paid to kill people?" "Republicans?" You are aware there are many Democrats in the military, are you not?
I am aware that democrats are almost as bad as republicans when it comes to war. Republicans tend to enjoy full out conflicts a lot more than the wars democrats put up(IE: Balkans).
Care to explain why they learn computer and engineering skills, among other advanced trades?
They are paid to kill, but the government will also provide a service to them, so they bartered with their money.
If they were killers they'd be shooting and blowing up stuff 24/7/365. They're not. They're DOING THEIR JOB.
Their job is to kill people. They go around, on patrols, stick their guns in people's faces, and look for people to shoot. Any questions?
My, you are so very naieve. A tour of duty in the military would give you a more worldly view than you currently have, which is that of a sheltered, ignorant existence.
Naive? Let's just say when I go around and travel to experience other cultures I'm not going with a gun ready to shoot people. I'm naive, and you think you can bomb a country into democracy? Well, I guess you got that impression bombing the **** out of North Vietnam.
So I pity you, and shake my head in wonderment at the ignorance of people who are misinformed by choice, as you so clearly are.
Just because the government legitimizes murder, doesn't mean you're not a murderer.
Let's not repeat the "baby killer" rhetoric of the '60's that the flower children spouted.
Why not? Vietnam children were shot, women raped. This is war.
I am disappointed, but not surprised, that you are not capable of or interested in a more informed view.
Yeah, I just can't open my mind up to the rape and murder of people and their homes. The savage bombing of a country for a decade and calling soldiers heros.
Try reasoning with the insurgents using your "morally superior" ideals. I'm sure they'd respect your white flag of truce to "discuss" the issue before they shot you in the head.
This is why people in the military are stupid. Before Iraq war, there were no suicide bombers and there were no insurgents. Insurgents exist to stop occupations. End the occupation, the insurgents stop.
Once again, let me repeat that I am damn glad you were never in the military, or ever will be.
Let's just say, if I was drafted, I'd goto jail. And if I ever got elected, I'd do everything to cut the military funding to zero.
n army comprised of So Suave "Reagan" clones couldn't defend itself in any situation and would leave its country helpless. I'd call it the "ballicking army" because it could not do anything else.
pfff. Economies are so interconnected these days war is to hard on the economies. With the promotion of free trade with all countries war could be wiped out. Also, militias(like in Iraq) would naturally come into existance when it's needed to fight.
Also because of the amount of guns americans are allowed to own, who the **** would invade? Hitler wouldn't dare touch Switzerland, even though it was strategically quicker to go straight through rather than around. You don't invade countries where every male adult is required to own an automatic weapon.
Reagan, could you lead yourself and your clone army en masse onto the highway and deprive us of your existence playing traffic tag?
Why would I do that?
The rest of us would be most grateful being spared your whiny *****ing and sanctimonious attitude.
But who will cheer when I hear stories like
the Ambush at Mogadishu.
If you want to claim moral superiority, I'm afraid your approach here has completely exposed you for what you are, and hypocrisy doesn't play well.
I guess it comes back to the debate, is it murder to murder a murderer.
I hope you die in Iraq too. Merry Christmas.
