I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Will you still feel that way if he gets his head shot off in Iraq?

[mussa]

thats not funny at all.

[MadMarchHare]

Wasn't meant to be.

[mussa]

then u should go over there and serve tough guy. 

[MadMarchHare]

I'd be happy to serve MY COUNTRY in a JUST WAR.
But so long as the Bush family is making millions off the Saudis, while the Saudis pay money to suicide bombers, there is no JUST here.

I won't put my life at risk so that a few billionaires can continue to make double digit profit margins.  And neither should anyone else.

He enlisted in the Navy so I don't think he'll get his head shot off in Iraq. However, if he was killed serving his country I would be proud to say that he gave his life for his country.

If I were a ruler, I'd love people like stilloncrack.  Send your kids to die because I said so.  Teh awsum.

Not sending at all. But certainly supporting his decision. He is 18 and I feel he has a good head on his shoulders. I also support my 20 year old's decision to pursue Rock and Roll as a career for a few years. He was Salutorian of his senior class, scored 1400+ on the old SAT and achieved a 4.0 his first year of college. He decided that he wanted to take some time off and play in a band. Was I disappointed, no. He will figure out what he wants to do eventually.

what war is just?

[methdeez]

That one I learned about in that cool documentary: "Transformers: The movie"
Those fargers deserved it.

[MadMarchHare]

WW II was just.  So was WWI.  So was the first war in Iraq.  So was the invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11.

War to protect the profit margins of companies you're already giving multi-billion dollar tax credits isn't just.

Would you think it was just had the US found massive stockpiles of WMD in Iraq?

[rjs246]

Sure. Too bad the government made up a story about WMDs in the first place to justify the war.

[rjs246]

I heard from this old drunk I met at a bar the other night that there are nuclear warheads in Texas and they're all programmed to fire at my wang the next time three cuban children play jump rope. I think we'd better bomb the hell out of Texas, just in case he's right.

[SD_Eagle5]

Yup, and like good little sheep the American people (and military) bought it.
