Horseshit. I'm a liberal, and my support for the armed forces is unconditional. I am also a big fan of the second amendment. If anyone thinks that everyone, or even a significant percentage of people are actually that black-and-white, then I think they are out of touch with reality.

The fact is that the Iraq war was the worst possible move. It had nothing to do with the troops or how they fought. I am not so naive to think that because somebody dies for something, it makes it "right".

@brennan2185 -My like or dislike for Obama or Bush doesn't change facts and neither does you denial of the facts. Don't take my word for it educate yourself regarding the Bush lies. It is difficult to believe that any literate person in this country would make the comments which you have. I now see why you were reluctant to answer my questions initially. Remember you are free to refute anything I have said but instead you chose in all instances to change the subject. So sad

A soldier can handle anything, He can handle his freinds dying, his body being shattered in an instant and being without a limb for the rest of his life.

But the one thing he and no other person can handle

Is that all the pain they went through was worthless.

@PackOfPeterJackson Very well said my friend.I find it sad that the military are victims yet support those who are willing to sacrifice them for $.Eisenhower warned of the power of the military industrial complex and sadly many didn't listen.Conservative Henry Kissinger once said "the military are stupid pawns used to enforce foreign policy ".No one did more for the direct benefit of the military fighting men and women then the late T. Kennedy who was most certainly a liberal

[PackOfPeterJackson]

I am not angry at soldiers, I am angry at the greedy corporations that have brainwashed the soldiers into thinking this war is for humanitarian reasons rather than resources and power. No I will not support you all the way, because I do not support the corporate dictatorship and its use of my brothers and sisters as canon fodder for their corporate greed.

@chan12898

No, I don't support draining trillions of dollars that could be going to build up our strength at home. That does not mean that I didn't support doing as much as we could with the timetable we had, but staying longer is not going to solve anything.

And yes, I did watch the video.

[chan12898]

@tattat44 you obviously just looked at the title and you didn't watch the video. You are saying that you dont support the war and that is what gets the soldiers pissed off.

@SEALxGamerz -As for me "viciously attacking " you I am not sure what you mean. Are you are making reference to my response to those on this venue who try to convince others that white is black and black is white ? If people choose to make comments on a public forum which are not true or reality based then they should not be surprised when others disagree. The Iraq war is a perfect example of what happens when small minded individuals ignore fact and blindly follow their leaders

@SEALxGamerz -Citizens of Sierra Leone were "sad" when they were asked if they wanted short or long sleeves prior to their hands or arms being cut off but we did nothing. Invading Iraq was certainly not for humanitarian reasons as we all know. As for the "non nuclear" weapons you refer to you should remember that much of their chemical weapons came from the U.S. when they were the enemy of our enemy, Iran. We had no problem with them having such weapons at that time .

@SEALxGamerz -And every excuse given by Dubya's administration to invade the sovereign nation of Iraq has been proven to be false. Some of the excuses were lies that were proven to be such prior to the invasion. The claim of a IAEA report stating Iraq had a nuke was refuted prior to the invasion when a CONSERVATIVE new reporter called the IAEA to get the full story only to find no such report exists. What does my being "very sad" if I lived under Saddam have to do with anything ?

@SEALxGamerz I agree what you said but you do need to reconsider this: While Saddam Hussein's regime was no doubt far brutal, elimating his regime would make things worse or at the same level as his regime.

George Bush Sr stated in the 1990s that going into Baghdad and eliminating Saddam Hussein's regime would be a disaster. It would cause instability and would get U.S. troops bogged down in Iraq for many years getting caught in the religious civil war between factions in Iraq backed by Iran.
