Could someone who is an avowed anti-war activist please list for me the hallmarks of your ideological stance?

Also, is there such a thing as a 'good war' (one that is unavoidable and morally justifiable)?

The problem originated soon after World War 1 when a large numbers of jews began to settle in Palestine, hoping to set up a Jewish national home. The Arabs and Palestine were implacably hostile to the idea of a separate Jewish state in what they considered there homeland. In order to retain Arab friendship and their own oil supplies the British limited Jewish immigration to 10,000 a year 1939. The second world war intensified the problem with hundereds ans thousands of Jewish refugees from Hitlers Europe looking for somewhere to go. The Americans forced Britain to give them Palestine after the jews killed hundereds of British soldiers.

Im not doing it for the money but if I would still be more than happy to get some extra cash. I am in the DEP for the USMC and already went to meps and go to boot June 1st 08. I completely forgot to ask for a signing bonus and was wondering if I could still get one? What would be the best way to ask my recruiter? My friend has the same recruiter and just got a $10,000 signing bonus. By the way my MOS will be aviation mechanics.

How exactly? Pray for them? Send them care packages? Enlist? Write legislation? Put a bumper sticker on your car? Or merely say "I support the troops"?

Also, shouldn't it be up to each individual to decide if their actions support the troops? I'm getting sick of people trying to portray other people as non-troop supporters so they can further their own political agenda. I certainly think those scumbags don't support me in the least.

Right or wrong, he was kicking out Blackwater from his country, then had to capitulate to the USA, because the USA wouldn't assign troops to do Blackwater work, or didn't have another contractor to do the work.

Its suppose to be about a marine stationed on a navy ship in pearl harbor then he fights in the D-day invasion three years later, but there really worn't any marines that fought on Omaha beach. I was genna have him as a marine then when his time was up he joined the army but I'm not sure if thats posible and if it is is it a stupid idea. Please help, I'm only 14, so please don'y make any rude comments.

I do my best to help the pro war people. Everytime I see a car with "I support he troops" decal "OR" a "I support President Bush" decal. I walk up to them and say a big thank you for the support. Then I request them to sign up their adult children for the military and go to Iraq and fight. The smile of the war supporter turns into a look of drinking lemon juice. Why do the nice pro war people turn against me? I served. Why can't they?
