At least 700,000 people marched Sunday in a massive protest against the possible election of an observant Muslim as president, a conflict that is pitting Turkey's religiously oriented ruling party against the deeply secular military and civilian establishment.

If our leaders continue down the path of making us a theocracy, will you march in the streets to stop them?

ive been reading questions for about 10 minutes now which involve poeple asking questions reguarding a military discharge. and a good percentage of the answers are just people bashing the person for even considering getting out of the military early.

im currently enlisted, and i am completely sympathetic to the fact that this isnt for everyone. i would never insult a person for feeling the way that they feel when it comes to the military, some people were misled, some people thought it would be a good idea. but what it comes down to is, it's a different way of life, a different way of thinking, and why ridicule a person for feeling such ways.

i know people that are extremely upset and distraught over the decision they made to join the military, i recommend to these people that they go talk to someone, because its better that they do that, and try to seek discharge, then get put on restriction for doing something wrong, which only amplifies these symptoms.

any input?

I've been reading about people calling our troops babykillers and trained murderers, people saying that our troops are mean, uneducated, whatever. They say we are killing innocent civilians without a second thought. We aren't playing by the rules of the Geneva Convention or whatever. Here's something for you: Make our enemy play by the rules. We at least try to fight them outside of towns, away from innocent people. They send children, yes CHILDREN, running up to our soldiers with a bomb strapped to them and detonate it. AND WE'RE THE BAD GUYS???? Come on! We don't strap bombs to ourselves and detonate in a busy market. We don't use women and children as means to kill an American. Why should we play by the rules when they don't?

SOME Democrats have this misconception that Republicans hate him too. There may be a small portion that do, but most Republicans DISAPPROVE of his performance rather than HATING him. Back to the point though, I think the reason SOME hate Bush so much is because he blows it off. He couldn't care less about what they say. What do you think?
