just got the worst call...UPDATED

[Softy]

I guess that Bush and Cheney have ordered up some reinforcements for Operation Desert Search. They are having the military search the Iraqi desert one grain of sand at a time in hope to find those mysteriously missing weapons of mass destruction that were the basis for this war.

On a serious note. Since the war started Bush has personally attended 43 Republican fund raisers and not one single funeral for soldiers killed in Iraq. In November alone 77 U.S. servicemen and women died.

Some people join the service to defend OUR country, not some Tird World Shiite-hole.

Why did you join the army, if you're too timid to secure my and our country's safety and interests? You'll be in jimmy carter's iran cesspool soon.
Would a nice Saddam acid bath sooth you much better? Discharged!

 

[Kraeji]

hey liberals

You can support the troops and the war without supporting Bush..

stop punishing our soldiers because of your hatred of the President.

 

[sixpackdate]

Look out for number one. Good Luck, wish you a safe return, take this life experience and be a better man.

And for the Bush bashers, I personally may not approve of his every action, but if you were in his place, and had to deal with an appropriate 911 response, you may have done the same thing presented with the options. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback.

And definitely, support the troops, you can't pick which conflict you want to support. They signed up for a period of time, with good and noble intention, and have to do their job, however popular their current deployment may or may not seem to be at that time. My hat's off to all of them.

Go and have fun. You should learn alot overthere about there culture and ways. Most important, stay safe.

If I remember correctly from BUD/S it goes like this, "If you can't do the simple things correctly gentlemen you will not be able to do the complicated things when the bullet are flying, Start putting out, pay attention to details, If this were not training you would be dead right now because you are not doing the simple things correctly. Boat crew leaders...Where are your crews?...Why are your men confused and not in position?...You are killing your men with poor leadership...go go go go go go. Gentlemen I have nothing to do 'til Saturday....If I have to cancel my plans so you girls can complete this evolution successfully, YOU WILL NOT LIKE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!" etc. etc. etc .................................... so again I say, wrong forum.

When you are in the reserves you have already agreed to go. The purpose of the reserves is "readiness".

I did my time, as have many of us. Be safe, keep your head about you and be aware of your surroundings.



I feel a lock

Are you a SEAL, forkd?

btw, this war was possibly the stupidest, biggest and most predicted mistake yet made by Bush

Please castrate yourself. Keep your politics to yourself and have the maturity to recognize when it's appropriate to let them be known and when not.

 

[imported_Tomato]

Best wishes, stay safe!

 

[Yossarian]

Good luck, thank you, have a safe trip and a speedy return.

 

[alkemyst]

mmkay....here's the deal....we have these guys called Leaders/Rulers/Presidents/Kings/etc, they have their own agendas and unfortunately quite a bit of control.

They push for a war and get their way and you are a soldier you are stuck...you have to fight or get courtmartialed and in many countries this = you dead.

Not every soldier under an evil regime is evil, not every soldier for the USA is good...there are quite a bit that just take pot shots at civilians or worse kids.

You enlist you take that risk, you have to go the last thing you need to here is 'why! that is BS that you are going to fight!'...most of those complaining are afraid to walk around alone at night, yet expect everyone to be a pacifist and agree that being 'mean' is wrong.

Regardless if it's right or wrong this soldier is being called out. He does what a soldier does and that is serve their nation, it's like a marriage, for better or for worse and 'til death do us part.
