I respect your opinion, and I am very aware of the nations slow decline over the last 7 years under the bush administration, but I'm curious to know if you've ever lived under third world conditions? I know first hand what its like to live in a 's**t pit' countries, and the United States is far from it. Very far. I remain proud to be a citizen country and feel very lucky to be given all the opportunities and advantages presented to me that 80% of the world is not exposed to.Realistically, I'm not going to let anyone make me feel guilty or ashamed for sticking a ribbon of support on my car.
You are pathetic benbenbenben, because you assume that anyone who comments on digg is doing just what your uncle Bill O'Reilley tells you they are doing, which is just plain liberal belly aching. I bet you've never dreamed of sending a care package to the soldiers, have you? What have YOU done to support the troops?? Did you buy one of those yellow ribbon magents? Did you vote for George Bush? That's just great, because you have basically done nothing, and by voting for GW, all you've done is serve further insult onto our soldiers. If you mailed, at your own personal expense, a 3.3 cubic foot refrigerator (plus the $75 shipping) to a rapid reaction force at Camp Anaconda, maybe you are not the pathetic one. Yes. I am against the war in Iraq. I knew that it would be a quagmire from the beginning (unless we decapitated and pulled out). I knew that by staying there, we were only going to replay what has occurred time and again (Somalia, Vietnam, Angola, Afghanistan for the Russians, etc, etc, etc.) I am still against us being there. But I know that the men and women fighting over there are my fellow citizens, they are fellow Americans more than any of the politicians who sent them there. The politicians who sent them there are no longer American citizens, they are citizens of the world who are trying to create a global government (both democrat and republican, they are all in bed with the same globalist and corporatist ideologues)
You've clearly never been to a military recruitment office. Would it surprise you to know that they lie? And lies from somone in uniform, to a naive 18 year old who has no clue what to do with his or her life. These are KIDS. Not "grown, informed adults" as you seem to think. Why are so many trying to leave? Why has the government instilled policies of stop loss? its because once these kids realize the truth of what they are being forced to do, they want OUT. The mission isnt over yet, so why are so many so eager to bail?
Agreed 1000%. I have served, not during a time of war, but I have been in there. And the kids in there come from the poorest places in the country. They have no chance for college, and have no idea what to do with themseleves. They arent there to fight in some war that no one believes in anymore.. they are there hoping to earn a living for them and their family. After 9/11, I can understand alot of folks enlisting. it was a very motivational moment for the country. But today, who would risk their life to get in when many of them are desparately wanting out. Only those who have very little else in terms of choice.
The oil isn't for YOU. You will not reap the benefits of a war for oil. What you will get is high priced gas, that doesn't work any better than the very same gas that was much cheaper, before the war. Did you miss the economic hitmen swarming into the Middle East, stating that Iraq had to repay the cost of war (that we started) with oil? Did you miss the fact that oil companies such as Exxon Mobile have been recording record profits this year? I'll say it again - the oil is not for you.

The stupid pic doesn't mean a thing. Some liberals and Democrats smile when a US soldier dies
