Yeah, good point. And by good, I mean terrible, confusing, and irrational.

Okay I'll break it down the young lady who stated that she served in action trumps a Bush groupie sitting @ home saying the war is going great and all the troops agree w/ Bush.

I can only go on what I know and what I've heard from my military friends. Whomever posted on the subject knows about her situation and the people she was around. I claim to have no first hand knowledge, rather only what I'm told by friends who've served. Presenting a biased witness doesn't really aid your claim.
Lets try this:
Paste where I said all the soldiers agree with Bush.
What, you can't? Thats surprising, another statement you can't back up, unbelievable.

Since you can only go on what friends have reveal to you I'll take the view point of those who know first hand about war....and I don't think she is biased...maybe when you get the balls to fight for your buddy Bush you would understand.
oh my bad Bush never fought either did he...he just quit the military.

One thing no one has discussed is the actual meaning of "comma".
com·ma
n.
1. Grammar. A punctuation mark ( , ) used to indicate a separation of ideas or of elements within the structure of a sentence.
2. A pause or separation; a caesura.
3. Any of several butterflies of the genus Polygonia, having wings with brownish coloring and irregularly notched edges.
caesura
n.
1. Prosody. a break, esp. a sense pause, usually near the middle of a verse, and marked in scansion by a double vertical line, as in know then thyself presume not God to scan.
2. Classical Prosody. a division made by the ending of a word within a foot, or sometimes at the end of a foot, esp. in certain recognized places near the middle of a verse.
3. any break, pause, or interruption.
In the highlighted definition, a comma would be an accurate description of what is happening to the history of Iraq.
Plus, it wouldn't hurt some of us to have a grammatical review of commas, to keep posts from being one long run-on mishmash of verbal regurgitation.

Ax, so what you're telling me is that you'll take the opinion of someone who knows firsthand about the war, being the other person on here. Thats fine, and understandable, ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS THE SAME THING I'VE DONE.

The difference is the person who post a response served in war that's why I have to respect that person's opinion....not to mentioned that I worked two years @ the V.A hospital and about 99% of the clients (who returned from Iraq) were against this war.

I highly doubt 99%, but then I don't really consider you a valid source. I'll see if I can get a Marine friend to come on here.

Go volunteer @ a V.A hospital near you and leave your play-play friends alone.

you're known to talk about ususally only associating with a small southern "elite" (in your opinion) group of people....I've served with people from all walks of life...there are five branches of service....I was in AeroVac(medical evacuation)...so of course I was in contact with soldiers from all branches and demographics...the "feel good" footage thats shown around holidays of Bush and other administration members "being" with the troops is PR bullsh*t...you don't see the multitude of soldiers who don't want to be anywhere near his ass....I joined the Air Force 3 months after graduating high school...I'm considered a vet of Desert Storm also....I loved the Air Force and gained so much from serving....I know what I was signing up for when I took my oath....I didn't mind doing what I had to do for my country...BUT this war, the actrocitites that the average American doesn't see is not right...we are trying to push/no force our ideologies on these people....innocent people are dying daily....soldiers who are the average age of about 23 are dying....the "comma" that Bush spoke of...is because they/his administration know that no real change in the mindset of the people will change and years from now the middle east will not flourish in western thought....if I thought we were fighting the group of people who were responsible for 9/11 I would still be in today...but anyone with the good sense of a flea knows otherwise...the small amount of time spent in Afganistan was smoke and mirrors for a whole "nother" agenda...in the immortal words of P.E. Shin...don't believe the hype!!

Its not hype, they're just my friends. If anything, they "hype" is that all American personel hate Bush. Now granted, my friends over there now hate being there and are ready for the war to end, but they don't blame the administration.
