So you would be perfectly comfortable if you were in the military now, going and fighting in Iraq? With all the information about the reasons for going we now have?Originally posted by: Tiles2Tech

One might call me a neocon. However, during my military service, I ensured that I qualified "expert" level on 4 different weapons - in the event the need arose to use them. Do I have any trouble with U.S. troops fighting our wars? No. Freedom does not always come freely.
I may be there in a few years, and I am perfectly comfortable with that.
What else?
It's great to see your solid devotion to your country. Most of the peeps here would only get close to military experience by playing Xbox games.
WE ARE NOT FIGHTING IN IRAQ FOR OUR FREEDOM. Haveing pride and devotion to your country is one thing, but you do not necessarily have to become a sheep and blindly support a war with unjustified causes. I support the brave troops in Iraq, but I do NOT support the war.
If you only had some semblance of a clue as to how the military works. Soldiers do what they do because they are told to, regardless of what their opinion of the matter is. That is how it must be for the military to function. People know this when they sign up. They enlist to serve their country, not their own personal agenda.
Off that subject, this war is perfectly justified. It is merely a continuation of the Gulf War which never officially ended, as Saddam failed to meet the provisions of the cease-fire which was set in place at the end of the first major involvement. If you followed politics to any extent rather than just becoming a sheep and blindly opposing a war with justified causes, you wouldn't look like an idiot right now. Carry on.
1) i was talking about citizens who are not in the military, about supporting the war. Obviously if you are in the military you follow the orders that are given to you.
2) Sadaam was not connected to 9/11 (there has been no proof found), and how dangerous he is and his WMD were greatly exaggerated.
3) the economy is in the crapper, and the president does not seem like he is doing much to fix it, as he focuses on the war to divert attention.
that is all
I didn't say anything about 9/11. I just said that the war is still perfectly justifiable and legal.
you did not say anything about 9/11, but Bush justified the war with it. It was misleading to the citizens of this country and the troops.
