no man, I never said it was ok, I just was trying to say these men CHOSE to be in the military, the draft's over.
If freakin Ghandi was in charge (yes I know he's dead) there would be wars. The men who join the forces know full well they are in danger of dieing
in some other land.
I'm only trying to make a better statement than "Oh look at kerry he said he had an SUV!" (yes Bush sent them over, now they need to keep some
form of peace over there)
The reason people enlisted to serve in the Army was because of 9-11 and Afghanistan. Remember that it was Afghanistan that American troops first went
into. Iraq wasn't in Bush's Agenda (Well, Bush's agenda shown on the Mediaa) until later and even then more troops were sent to Iraq under false
beliefs or...lies.
And Ghandi was a pacifist. I don't think he'd go to war with Iraq if he was alive.
two things:
1) I'm fully aware of Ghandi's ideals, thats the point of an exteme example.
and
2) It was found that Saddam, you know Iraq's ex-dictator(you can't say at the least it was good to get that monster out), had funded both Al-Quedia
(the group who trained/hired the 9-11 terrorists) and the Bin Ladins, our enemy for a while before.
Yes the Terrorists were not Iraqis, but look beyond that and you'll find they were payed by, and were tained by a group funded by, you gessed it,
IRAQI FUNDS!
But before you go into the whole W.M.D.s yes, we don't got 'em. I'm not afraid to critizize Bush, when appropriate, that was a bit on the side of,
totaly wrong.
so there, I'm not some zelot Conservitve eather.
