I am serious. I know there have been public debates about this too.

People can't seem to separate the two. We all love and wish our men/women home safely. They are just doing their call of duty.

Disagreeing with this war isn't synonymous with not supporting the troops, and by people saying if they oppose the war, it's disrespectrul, you're not a patriot, your'e not supporting the troops, etc. is twisted and to me seems like mind control and mind games that people are playing with each other, or that politicians and extremists want you to believe.

I keep thinking of Bush's "You're either with us or against us" echoing whenever I hear that. Maybe it had one meaning at first but it's almost sinister in context at this stage of the game.

I know it's a sensitive area, but I think people need to somehow separate the two, because I think the USA has been divided and has suffered much more as a nation from this war than from 9/11.

Thoughts?

This war in Iraq is no different from Hilter's invasion of Poland.
The Germans had as many false justifications for their invasion as we did.

I am trying to find out as much information as i can find about the original owner of a World War 2 zippo which i recently purchased.
It belonged to a German soldier (hence the swastika on the front) and is engraved with:
D.R.R. N:1042 / 1942 Munchen
Does anyone have any ideas as to where i might be able to find some more information on this, or possibly look up the identification number assuming that is what it is?
Thanks

I would like to know your point of view on Assault weapons only. I believe in the right to bear arms, I do not think it is wrong to own a gun to protect yourself and family. I do not believe government should interfere with this right, but, why do we need assault weapons to remain legal, when a non-assault weapon can do the deed. If you have prior military experience, I would really be interested to here from you.

Israel has attacked far more nations than Iran..Iran only fought when attacked by American, Rumsfeld, supported Iraq....Iran itself has been attacked by Israel..I say again, if they pick fights let them fight their own battles.

Ok--I fully realize I am not very well versed on military tactics--------------------but could it be possible to have our soldiers act as 'spotters'-------watching for high risk or suspicious vehicles...and then having Muslim Clerics actually do the stopping and the investigating of the vehicle----------------EFP's are deadly roadside bombs that hurl a fist-size slug of molten copper that penetrates armor, a weapon that has been highly effective against American forces over the past year.----------------we all know the enemy uses our red tape to strangle us---------is this a possible way to turn the tables?

someone i know who served in the military 1961-1965 tells me he was a navy seal, then later said there weren't navy seals back then, but he was a navy diver (underwater demolition?). he also says that he spent a lot of time in the woods of viet nam, living like the enemy, and fighting hand to hand combat and was wounded fighting on land. did underwater divers fight on land during the early 60's in viet nam? he also says that he was a "driver and body guard" for pierre salinger during his navy stint. can all of this be true? the man has told other stories that don't seem credible about his past.

It is not strange if we know that USA and Israel had strong ties with the Argentine dictatorship.the Argentine death squads were used by Colonel "ollie" North at El Salvador, have this first hand from Vernon Walters...
Germany, France, Italy isued International orders of capture against Argentine repressors, 4 of them were detained recently at Spain and condemned to life long jail.
France wants the extradition of a Navy officer ( Alfredo Aztiz) accused of dropping people alive from airplanes, he confesed that he learnt that from US officers that used that "technique" at Cambodia.

Have a private/secret meeting w/ Irans President, and a whole different meeting w/ Israel,Britain, and Iraq ); tell Irans President (Sorry, cant spell his name) that the US will pull out of Iraq but he has to take absolute control of it by the time they do. And annunce a little plan to Britain, Israel, and Iraq.

Iran sends the majority of their Military out of the country into Iraq, and once they do we have Israel go head on into Iran. Britain (Israel would do it for sure, not sure about Britain) could come into Iran through the North. (Both blowing any Nuclear Sites as they cross the border). But both countries wait to invade until Iran has its forces spread throughout Iraq. Once Iran does so, and once Britain and Israel cross the border into Iran; the Iraqi Forces the the US had hiding, scattered around Bahgdad come out and take the capital. (Purley Iraqi Forces, led by US Forces and when I say led by I mean commanded by). The US Navy and Air Force target any Iranian Forces in

Several of you have noticed some of my answers and written to me. I served 6 years of Navy, including an 18 month tour as a river rat in Vietnam, a 2 year tour aboard a destroyer, and a little over 2 years at a NAVFAC in Newfoundland. Then, I served in the Air Force for 6 years active duty. Then, I served in the Air National Guard for 22 years, including working full time for the Air Guard for 21 years. I notice that Republicans and conservatives are thanking me for my service to my country, but Democrats and liberals are calling me a terrorist and a baby killer, just as so many did when I first got out of the hospital after being combat wounded in Nam. I am drawing the conclusion that Republicans and conservatives actually care about the military and go out of their way to thank us, while Democrats and liberals see us as their personal gunslingers, good enough to kill for them, but certainly not good enough to thank, or invite to dinner because we are a lower life form than they.

I guess people in the US don;t mind their taxes being stolen for the purpose of making Bush and friends rich via "rebuilding" Iraq and the war on "terror". The twin towers cost 4 billion. Bush could have BOUGHT Iraq and Saddam and won the love of the planet...but that wouldn't make him and his buddies anywhere as rich.

the Democratic Alliance of Orange County, attorney, Stephen Bergstein, said the military gets too much respect: "No other institution in our society enjoys the deference that the military establishment enjoys," he said.



Shame on him and shame on anyone who votes for Democrats.

I was reading an article today that mentioned China's crave for military expansion. They by far have the greatest force in numbers, and are now increasing their budget on military spending for such things as weapons(wma's.), fighter-jets, tanks,nuclear subs, anti-missile sattelite systems.....They are now only 2nd to the U.S in military spending. Does this scare you a little bit? If in a worst case scenario they declared war on the U.S, would we stand a chance?
