Is it wrong to question the validity of a war?

You hear all these people say how it is so wrong for people to be against the war in ____(Fill in the blank) and that we should support whatever the president decides is best for us. Agree or disagree?

This is not a political thread, so don't make it one. If you have nothing of value to add, please don't post
 
I think it's pointless to debate the validity of a war once it has started, it's like debating over soiled underwear. The sh!t has been smeered and all you can do is clean it up and get moving along.

I think there needs to be accountability. I have no problem with anyone questioning, respectfully, who, what, where, or why.
 
Supporting the troups and supporting the war are 2 totally different things.
 
I disagree on war in Iraq but support our troops 100% ... if the comander in cheif made a wrong dicision it should not reflect on our troops ... they are doing their job
 
Not only is right to do so, it's your duty as an American. America had to be created bacause every other nation prohibited the questioning of leaders. If you would be American, you MUST question.

This coming from a veteran of the US military.

The war was illegal. And Congress ceding war powers to the President. Is that even allowed?

I don?t think Clinton ever notified congress when he attacked Yugoslavia.
 
Every single person who attempted to give a rational statement in regards to the OP's original post is a complete moron. He made absolutely no sense. What are you responding to. :frown:

No hillary - it is not a "must". Some who support such actions do not "question" it, because it was the right thing to do. Are you trying to infer, as hillary did, that those who don't question the war are un-American?

Anyway, I voted "maybe" for both because it depends on how or what the "questioning" is. Examples being - some here like to accuse our troops of purposely targeting civilians and start threads with misleading threads containing questionable video or "statistics". That sort of misleading and deceitful "questioning" is unacceptable IMO as it scapegoats the troops and has nothing to do with the multitude of reasons there were for taking action when we did.

Like I said, it's all about how or what you use to "question" our actions. Some "questioning" is good but some of it definitely crosses the line of decency.
