Please bring all troops home because too many men died and waste our taxpayer.

How can there be any dislikes? This guy is dead on. Our priorities are in the wrong place.

We have lost TWICE the number of lives in the Middle East, and TWELVE times the amount wounded in 10 years, than we have in the previous 100 due to Terrorist attacks!

It's our presence that keeps those numbers climbing, look it up. Osama wanted us their so he could kill us easier.

Bring our troops and economy home now!

Our troops lives are not RESOURCES for the Afgan people any more!

Die for your own country!

@TheItaliano8273 Precisely how does war "bring in millions?" Billions are expended with defese contractors to buy the implements to wage war, the planes, the missles, down to the rifles, rations, and ordinance. How that generates money for anyone other than the military/industrial complex is excessively inaccurate. In other words, you simply don't know what you're talking about. Google former President Eisenhower's final speech to the nation and read it, and you'll have your answer.

@kilox10001 i am mixed. i have a question, how old are you ?it is written "you are mixed" and not your mixed". i cant take you seriously if you made that simple mistake.you voted for Obama because he was black like you, nothing else.ask any single black person, you will see that they all voted for Obama. Coincidense ?not a all. Forget bush, Obama brought this country to debt even more in less 4 years than bush did in 8 years.yea, americans should be glad that bush was this stupid.

On YouTube town hall, they have this video paired against a video from Rep. David Cicilline. However, both videos advocate the same thing.... WTF?!? Wouldn't it make more sense if youtube town hall paired videos with opposing views? Right now the choice is to stop spending billions on middle-east infrastructure OR.... stop spending billions on middle-east infrastructure... seriously, WTF?!??
