You've got the right idea but don't flee the country if they bring the draft back.Just be the biggest asshole you can be and get them to boot you out of the service.Fight the system and be vocal.

everyones entitled to their own opinion, all those of us that have served ask, is you support the troops who are willing to fight and die for your right to say that.

except for that fact that...what does them having to die in Iraq have to do with our freedom, our freedom gained from Britain in 1776?

If Iraqi insurgents came to America to tell us democracy is crap and to praise allah or whatever, I'd certainly enjoy taking arms up and defending my country.

Until then, I'm sorry, but Iraq has nothing to do with my right to say anything.:thumbsup::wtf:

[higher4hockey]

having them die in iraq has nothing to do with it, but what does have something to do with it is everyone that takes that oath swears to defend this country. if the reds show up on the shore tomorrow, who do you think is ready to defend this country to the death?


why are we argueing about this? if you dont support the troops...really what kind of a person are you? i understand not everyone likes the current situation the gov't has put us in, but come on man, dont ever quit flying flags for the service members overseas. support the troops even if you dont support the war, thats all i was trying to say. they may not be protecting us from the huns at the moment, but they're willing to should the need arise.

I know, it's fucking BS. And I'm 19 now. They call 19 year olds in first if there is a draft. I just fucking hope Bush doesn't mass murder another couple thousand of Americans so he can blame it on the Arabs and start another fucking war.

Bush is the worst thing that happened to the US ever imo.

The war on terror is a war that you can never win, so you can always keep on taking away freedoms from the people to fight the war.
In the end the US will be a dictatorship.



BTW I'm a dual citizen, so I can go to Europe and work anywhere in the EU. I just hope the US's claws don't reach to Europe if I evade a draft.

I support the troops that have the personal integrity to say "Bush's war is bullshit".The ones that just blindly go around killing people because thats what there commander in chief said are not using mind to rationalize these things through.You don't have to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians to get rid of a few thousands of insurgents.

Support the U.S. troops. I'll defend them 'till the end.
At the same time...
Fuck the U.S. government. It's not worth defending.
If I'm drafted, I'll be their biggest nightmare.
Frag 'em.

no offense or anything, but thats not a very accurate statement.

A. the troops that say bushes war is bullshit arent in the war. the ones that are fighting in the war arent fighting for you and me or iraqis or politics, they're fighting for each other.

B. the troops in iraq don't just go around blindly killing civilians. to kill an iraqi you have to follow the rules of engagement.
the rules of engagment (ROE) are an ever changing thing. in the battle of fallujah it was anyone who has a weapon is an enemy, engage. as to how it is now, positive id is a factor. escalation of force, when to use deadly force, all these things factor in and a decision has to be made in a matter of seconds. which leads to ...

C. the Soldiers Sailors and Marines in iraq have to use their minds to rationalize everything through. from what the hell am i doing eating an mre in the middle of the god damn desert, to i might die today. to what do i have to do today to make sure i dont get anyone killed.

D. last time i checked, the US was doing everything possible to help the iraqis, including trying to get the insurgents to stop killing innocent civilians.

Fuck the draft. If there is one I'm outta here faster than you can say marijuana.

If you really support the soldiers, you'd want them home. Their fighting a meaningless war and if you haven't caught onto that you're foolish. The troops themselves are great. They are willing to give themselves in order to fight for The Bush Administration (since the majority of Americans don't approve of the war and have come to the realization that the war is lost no matter what. 600,000+ Iraqi's dead and thousands of troops. I feel it was a loss because so many people have died, it's not worth it, it's just not).

Honestly, I worry about the troops because I feel like they will be there until every single one of them has died. It's sad that people sit around and try to say the troops would rather be there. 51% of military donations went to republican candidate Ron Paul who is in favor of leaving Iraq as soon as possible.

Also, you need to accept that the Bush Administration is trying to start a war with Iran. They're clearly antagonizing them as much as they can. They bring up "war with Iran" like it's a casual topic and they don't even think about our troops. We can't even accomplish half the goals in Iraq and they want to send more troops.

I hope the troops come home safe and sound as soon as possible and I'm sorry if I offended anybody at all in this post but these are my personal opinions.
