The only soldiers that I will toast for fighting for my freedom, were the soldiers that fought under general Washington. That was the first and last
time an american soldier ever fought for my freedom. I will raise a toast to those guys, even though if the word had been invented at the time, those
armies would have been painted at terrorists and cowards.
We can celebrate tonight because of our boys overseas... What a crock of total [snip], page 5

I love it when a pseudo-intellectual confuses "thinking for yourself" and outright cowardice.
American and British forces do have more in common with the jihadists than with you. The difference is a pair of balls.
I hate milk-sopped bread.
It just falls apart and isn't worth a damn to anyone.

For the record, the three groups named are far more attacked than Muslims on ATS. I wasn't going to list EVERY single group being bashed. Just relax.

I am making a stand. Of my own free will. How is that boot sniffing? Because my opinion differs from others?

Milk-sopped bread is pretty good for bread and butter pudding, granted you have a few sultanas and an egg at hand...
You're right though, those of us who don't support unjust wars are just limp-wristed cowards! The irony being that your average American supports the war out of absolute fear. Fear of Mozlem radicals. You're still all hiding under your covers at the thought of another 9/11. Infact, without cowardice and fear they'd be no war. The arguments you put to me are no different than those used by Islamic terrorists towards those against their 'Holy War'. It's humorous just how much alike you are. I know if you were born in Afghanistan you'd be living in caves thinking up ways of fighting the infidels
What the Taliban and British, American troops etc have in common is that they're both ipso facto terrorists, by the law of language.
ter·ror·ism
/ˈtɛrəˌrɪzəm/ Show Spelled[ter-uh-riz-uhm] Show IPA
–noun
1.
the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2.
the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3.
a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

Those dead dudes were professional soldiers and being a soldier is a hazardous business. What do you want from people who object to wars based on lies? Do you have to have your a$$ IEDed before you can make a stand against war?
So what if these well armed and professional soldiers get killed? They should resign the military and go home to their loved ones. Bush and his crime family, neocons, right wing basterds, zionists, and the rest of these war hungry and red faced maniacs should be put in uniform and deployed in IED country.

Really? Well I have members of my family who have served in the British forces & others who are currently serving in The Australian armed forces & I can tell now they have never mentioned the racial terms you have claimed above & joined to serve their country & are far from being racist! They married people of different races! Debunked you there!. Seems like you do not actually know many service men & women at all! By the way you are the one brandishing those "race/religion" hatred terms not me, so what does that say about you!
So everyone except Fijians in the forces are bigots & racists? look above debunked that one! It ain't no truth!
yeah you are right! That is because I am loyal to where I come from and our Allies!. I'm on the coalition side you yes I am proud of the troops effort & will defend them to the hilt!
Really! "people like you" Now that's a little judgmental, Ok but I am the most free thinking individual individual you are ever likely to encounter - Don't care what you say! Now that is a fact. I fully support the troops & all the Allies, they are war heroes & I am respectful & grateful for their efforts!
I haven't met a soldier in either the British or Australian army who hasn't joined in the last decade to kill 'pakis' and 'ragheads'

Actually I have, but they've always been Fijians. Everyone else in these armys are bigots and racists. That's the truth.

The fact is phatpackage, if you were an Iraqi, you'd support the 'insurgents' and be against the invading forces.

Now that is a pretty low & cheap shot at the troops! Relating it to the thread title the troops (past & present) are all heroes! Who cares what you think about unjust wars ....... Fact is they are just & that's the truth. The people are all heroes & should be treated accordingly. The very fact you can wrongly call them terrorists is not only a disgrace but is testament they are fighting for your freedom from the Muslim extremist who would never allow you to voice your opinion. To the troops, Thank You & respect! I'm pretty sure they don't care what the likes of you think or say about them!

Laugh all you want! I am a patriot to my country & I'm half British so I support the monarchy as well! Traitor, well thats pretty stupid I support my country, the troops & the government. Only in your mind is this being a traitor lol lol. At least I do not have to resort to profanity in my posts! Just shows how limited your vocabulary actually is!
i'll bet I sleep a lot better than you! My conscience is clear!
I was also listening to "Advance Australia Fair", "God save the Queen" & "Waltzing matilda" lol lol
Contract killers? Hmmm "clutching at straws" there you have been thoroughly debunked! Hmmmm what now more racial abuse & personal attacks! Totally irrelevant to the thread!
You've debunked nothing

ESPECIALLY in the Australian army!

I don't think I've ever listened to anyone so completely wrong.
No, if I were born in Afghanistan, I wouldn't be sitting in a cave planning what is basically murder.
But I have zero problem exterminating those who would attack the weak, the faltering, the defenseless, and as much as I hate the idea - yes, even the gutless stupid.
No one ever figures to be really good at combat. No one can test or anticipate those who seem to have a knack for efficiency in combat.
One can want to be a soldier, or just find oneself a soldier, but no way to actually realize your talents until it's an accomplished task.
But I do respect all those who take their turn on the walls, and yes, the far-archers. They do things others can't do.
They get their hands dirty for those without any redeeming qualities whatsoever - can't bring themselves to do.
Don't worry. None of us who would stand firm would EVER want anyone of your ilk anywhere near us. We must have folks who have guts, who can stand, and will be there at your shoulder no matter how bad it gets.
In combat, a man can do more living in 30 minutes than the gutless can do their entire lives.
And if you survive it - forevermore, every breath is sweet as it is borrowed. Provided you by the exertions and sacrifice of your brothers.
Another thing you'd never know anything about.

I suppose in their country they are heroes! To the other side well ....... you know "one mans war hero ......" I am entitled to choose a side! Don't care what you say lol lol
More profanity! What can I say!
Well maybe you need to talk the extremist muslims (Note I did not say moderate or non practicing) who have forced the hands of government around the world to react. It is called "Barking up the wrong tree".
Aw Shucks getting physical now! Truth be told I ain't that little!!!!!!!!!! It's getting really old how about you get back to thread, don't blame governments or "Illegal war" jazz & talk about the troops as individuals & not in racist terms or using profanity.
Despite what you say they are not on the whole sheep, they are not deluded, they are not bigots and they are not racists! You continually paint them as a whole with the same brush. Some might be guilty of what you say but the majority are not & to say so is discrimination! Respect & gratitude for their efforts - True War Heroes!
Are North Korean soldiers heroes? What about enemy soldiers,
I suppose in their country they are heroes! To the other side well ....... you know "one mans war hero ......" I am entitled to choose a side! Don't care what you say lol lol
F*cking heroes they were, ay?

More of my freedoms have been stolen from me in the name of preventing terrorism, than from actual external forces.

People join the army because they choose to join the army. Only the deluded would argue they act against their own wishes in order to do everybody else a favour.
All your rhetoric is just that, rhetoric. There's no substance to anything you've said. Your words would be better suited cut up into single sentences and submitted to a pro-war Quotation page.

You're guilty of personal attacks. The primary difference is I don't cry Mummy when getting my behind kicked in a debate. Insults are subjective to offense.
For someone championing free speech it's all rather amusing. 'discriminating words against Australians!'. In Australia you'd be considered precious. You do more whinging than a Pom
