Look man, im sorry. I havnt smoked in about a couple hours so im a little irritable. I don't think you're the enemy at all. In fact, I think you're even kind of cool. I respect what you've done for the world and the sacrifices you've made but my stance is that you were told to go into there for not necessarily the wrong reasons but under false pretenses that the Bush admin. made up. I wouldnt wish for any soldier to go into a combat situation unless it was absolutely necessary. I'm speaking out against a government that selfishly asks you to lay your life down just so they could make a profit. If I could, I'd change things so you or anyone wouldnt have to think about 50 cal trucks and bullets in your guts. We may be different idealogically, but Im not your enemy.
