I shouldn't meddle into this too much but, are you saying US troops kill innocent civilians for.. fun? Or maybe, because they can? Don't blame the soldier, blame the politician.

woah woah woah are you saying people smoke weed for....fun?

LMAO

no man...not exactly...im saying everyone i served with believed in what we were doing. we were NOT about to lay down our weapons. there is a different mindset in the military.


Ravenala, i've served. im sure you didnt know that..and i know things get a little heated here in politics.....but please, dont you dare call me an 'armchair partiot'

I smoke green for fun.

Since when were soldiers allowed to question commanding officers or pick and choose which orders they choose to follow and I'm not talking about a blatant order to burn a village or to kill civilians?

Killing for a government is still killing. The armed services are having an increasingly hard time filling their slots with qualified personel, if this war continues or escalates into Iran (A succinct possibility) a draft is imminent. BTW, I served also and I am very anti-war, especially this one.

:thumbsup:

I am against the US warmongers !
The troops are cattle who do as they are told or get kicked out and precisely because of that they accept thier orders or quit.
If I was still in the army I would've told Blair and Bush to go fuck themselves because as far as I am concerned this war is different in that we are there for political purposes not to protect ourselves or our countries. WMD LMAO Saddam a threat to us ?? WTF
It's all about money and the companies that profit from conflict.

If the repubs were to stay in power I bet they wouldn't institute the draft. I bet they would just out source it. More Blackwater mercenaries. Its why we need to elect some sort of congress that would actually act on these issues rather than just release public comments to look good. I can not name one representitive or senator with any amount of ethics.There has got to be a new party come forward to give Americans a chance at moving forward.
