COGI am sorry you lost friends in combat, and that you had to see combat yourself. Yes, I sat home, but only because a childhood disease kept me from enlisting. I wanted to be out there. I didn't seek any deferments, and tried like hell to get in.
Always speak in a lanuage that is understood by the recipent. You harken back to the "win their hearts" theory that didn't work. We no longer fight the gentleman's war of yesteryear. I would suggest that you and Stevie go to Syria and tell them of your concerns. For me I will set on my tired old ass and remember the friends I lost in combat while people like you set at home.

Obama campaigned that he would completely get out of Iraq and he lived up to his promise, despite the fact that we should have never been there in the first place. For living up to his promise, I give him credit. By the same token, for authorizing the killing of OBL, I also give him credit. Apparently OBL had become a non-factor to Obama's predescessor. Need I remind you that OBL now sleeps with the fishes?
BTW, the killing of innocent people on purpose is called "murder." Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyWe can't wage any war without killing innocent people. It's unavoidable.

Which explains all the German and Japanese terrorist attacks on the US back in the 1950's. Right?Very simplistic.

It's a simple fact that you can't kill an idea, which leaves killing everyone who thinks it's a good idea as the only option. When those "10 innocents" are in the house the bad guys are shooting form they are not "innocent". Originally Posted by Iaintliein

The USA has in past years backed down from kicking ass and we will continue to be bullied until we with a roar stand together and whup some ass. Originally Posted by tucson

The North Koreans were driven over the Yalu and out of Korea. Re-read your 8th grade history book, you dumb, illiterate fuck.
Look, you moron, when you vastly outweigh an opponent militarily, it is ALWAYS going to be the way they fight.
You're an idiot for thinking otherwise.

It was nothing about taking orders she took my car. I think you may see that avatar every morning when you look in the mirror. Originally Posted by tucson

When our drones kill innocent people, at least it's in the name of freedom and liberty. They should understand that.
