Anyone else horrified their tax dollars buy death?

And Rusty, I find it funny you lump disagreeing with a war, with downplaying support for troops. Must be that "patriotic" word, that if you disagree with the government actions you are automatically un-patriotic. Cause whatever the US government does is the RIGHT thing, every time no matter what.

No. I disagree with those that slam one war citing half-truths and inuendo regarding another war, as a basis to blindly disagree with all governmental policies. If you are comfortable with the facts of an argument, you should defend those ideals. But likely you should be informed as to what the fuck you are talking about. As I stated, this wasn't aimed directly at you, but your statement was in line with so many others that wish to blindly follow that which they were taught in the liberal cesspools loosely refered to as centers for 'higher' learning, instead of finding out the whole story, the origins of the conflicts, and the timelines involved. (the World War 2, Korean conflict and Vietnam example.) This is called context.

Btw, I was raised from both sides of the spectrum, and only then can you truly see the hypocritical arguments on both. (Grew up between Texas and Oregon.)

Sorry...Not impressed. Sounds like you're leaning too far twords the Oregon side, lol.

...This is clearly not a "I've won, so I won't type anymore.", but a "It really doesn't matter, so why waste each our times doing it."

Clearly? Gee. I was just getting started. Was looking forward to your comments on context, origins and the false blame layed at the feet of our government and the soldiers that fight in your name.
If it doesn't matter any more, then what happened between your last post and this one? It concerned you enough to specifically answer my statements made in response to your statements, yet you got real vague here. Whatever. Altho I would never to assume my points are valid and shared by all, I believe this country is worth fighting for, and will debate any that wish to get their facts straight and counter my opinions with valid reasoning and/or insight. Cut-n-paste propoganda punks need not apply. :jointsmile:
