Sweetie, half the country didn't elect the president, so because I didn't put his ass in office and I don't like the way he is running our country I should leave?

Oh and btw, I did "do something" about it. But my state went to Bush, so therefore it really didn't count. Unfortunately I live in a Rebulican state, so therefore, it tends to go Rebulican.


Come on, in your own words "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer"



KSigKid: Thanks for understanding what I was talking about.



I'm pretty sure that the "primary mission" of the military is to protect the US not to go to war. If war happens then they go to it. There are only a select few wars that I "understand" why the US got involved (or had them), but this is not one of them. It is all about us sticking our noses in where they don't belong in the attempt to play "big brother" to all the other countries and President Bush's personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein. He used the excuse that there were WMD (weapons of mass destruction), yet let's not forget the we NEVER FOUND THEM!!!!! If they had had them we would have found some trace that they were there but we FOUND NOTHING!!!!!

Do y'all understand that if god forbid another 9-11 happened tomorrow that is worse (and lets face it, it will happen again, we just don't know when and it will be worse), we would be screwed because half our military is 10,000 miles away!!!!

My brother is in the frickin' National Guard. National Guard, where he is only supposed to work 1 weekend and month and 2 weeks int he summer, yet he's over there. God forbid something happens in AZ because more than half our National Guard troops are overseas.

So how is my brother protecting us? He is protecting the other soldiers yes but he is protecting Iraqis and Kuwaitis. He's not protecting Arizonians.

BTW, people don't tend to join the military to go to war. That hasn't happened since WW2. And don't list 9-11 as an excuse for enlistment, it went up afterwords but it dropped when we invaded Iraq and it is still at an all-time low (especially with the National Guard).

Politics are messy and their ugly and they are full of opinions. You are never going to change mine just as I am never going to change yours.




I just have serious issues with people telling me that if I don't like it that I need to GTFO and that I am not allowed to be "anti-war" but "pro-military".
