I know I have no true opinion on the matter, because frankly I don't know how it feels to be in the military, or even all of the reasons we went into Iraq. I'm only 17 and was 9 when September 11 occurred. But I'd like to throw my ideas in anyway.…
Interestingly enough, probably most of the fighting in both Iraq and Afghanistan is not done by members of the American or NATO armed forces, but rather by military contractors from companies like Blackwater.
Blackwater and other such groups have b…
Supporting the troops should never be in question. They are our fellow Americans doing a job they believe is worth sacrificing for. Supporting wars entirely depends on the circumstance.
One, just like any employer, in order to "toss out" anyone they have to have just cause. But also any employer can really find something to get rid of someone. The other thing is that it is the persons choice to sign the "working" contact that binds…
Where to begin. Well if you are talking about Iraq, Saddam was Sunni, not Shia. He also was a Baathist, so his rule wasn't really related to being Sunni at all, as he killed both.
Secondly the War in Iraq had nothing to do with stopping terrorist a…
im a soldier... i understand the term, but it's just what we call them and it's much easier than saying middle eastern descent or no combatant/muslim combatant... i don't really have the energy for this nor the passion that i once carried... war is…
I am against war, philosophically and intellectually, but I recognize that, at this point in human civilization, it's not about to just go away. I believe that war will be a fact of human existence until everyone manages to grow up and place nice, b…
Stated with the benefit of hindsight.
"Killing while in war is still murder, in my opinion." Mine, too, and I was once a soldier. You really hit a hard point for me, but in the end, I was and am ready to do that, or have it done to me, for the people of my country.
I'll give you an exa…
I absolutely agree with you about time in the Army. The best job I ever had, and I waited years before finally joining. Wish I had joined sooner. Wish I had stayed in.
If a person is thinking about joining, even if he never speaks to a veteran of t…
I do not support the troops right to kill innocent people. I support people trying to make the world a better place but I am a firm believer in the fact that that is easier to do without a gun.
Pretty much no-one in the world would be hungry today…
pretty much what Kenny said
I am in NROTC at NC State University and will get my commission in the navy when I graduate.
I haven't read all the posts - there's a lot of them, but thought I'd give my two cents. I supported (and support) the war in Afghanistan. Afghanistan aided and abetted Al Qaeda, the perpetrators of 9/11. That war I felt was justified. We kind of bo…
I, personally, do not really support the war in Iraq, because I, personally, believe more could have been done by the UN prior to the conflict. The conflict in Afghanistan, I will not lie, I don't fully understand. Never the less, I do fully support…
No, it means that we protest the orders that you receive to go to war. We protest that we're sending people into a battle zone that we don't believe they should be going into. It means that we protest what we believe to be the unnecessary sacrifice…
So then support the volunteer force, but not what the volunteer force is doing?
