This kills me...?

Question

Alright...so yeah..I've posted a few questions....within the past 24 hours..and some of the remarks and replies kill me. My questions...were about anti-war people..and why people are against fighting. Did you know...that the only reason those people have the right to say what they just said to me is because, people fought for that right to do so? Everyone is coming at me with remarks such as..( Your a dumba$$ for supporting this war, you don't know what the hell is going on, your not doing anything about it...Ect.) Alright....for one..I wanna let every man or woman out there serving for our country to know I am so very proud of them for standing up for what they believe in. May god bless you.
Everyone is asking me...haven't you seen farenheit 9/11? Do ya'll know how easy it is to put together a fake documetary? I could put on together myself and no one would ever second guess it. I cannot wait to be serving for my country. At least I'd die with dignity...think about that.

Answer 1

Rock on. You have to understand that most people have not served and do not understand the military at all. But the Bush supporters are out there. Thank God Bush and company are on track with keeping our country safe and not expecting pats on the back for doing it. I'm with you and feel were right on track with the fight against terrorism and thank you for your service as well.

I won't go into a rash of insults.. but you are honestly the most nieve person that has lived. Have you ever heard the expression that what is won by force is lost by force? You believe that the world is better because of what America is brought us through force. Right and freedoms can also be won through negotiation and diplomancy. It doesn't take the boot of America's army to bring freedom to the world.

Unfortunatley the mistakes of your government will be marked with the blood of your soldiers.

The amazing thing is that you americans are fighting for freedoms that would allow a know killer like OJ or a know child abuser like MJ to walk around free! These are freedoms..... you can keep them!!! Your more likely to believe that imaginary weapons of mass destruction exist created in the mind of a President with a 91 IQ, than believe OJ killed two people.

How great a country!!! Please, I can't wait before we all have Hollywood ideals...

It's interesting that the idealist rich of america are the ones who believe that the war is essential... yet they do not send their own children to fight. The average American soldier is 18 - 20 yrs old and has less than a high school education. It's easy to convience a uneducated child that he's fighting for the right cause. What would they know better.. they have no world experience!

Any ways, who made America the police of the world? Was there an election that I missed? America is doing what they do not to free the world, but to bring themselves wealth. Gandi and mother Thereasa were also powerful forces for change in the world and they did not need any army.

America believes that they are great because they have to inorder to justify all their atrocities. It is always the victors that write history whether they are right or wrong. Look at Vietnam.... America was apparently there fighting for freedom... and what was the result of that.

Believe what you must so that you may sleep at night. But like every other aggressive country before it, America will some day be brought to it's knees... and I hope to see it soon!!!

Answer 3

I agree totally with you when you say that our troups are fighting for the rights over everyone here. Even those ***holes who put the troups down. After VietNam our country was a disgrace when it spit upon the troups returning.. ok, not all did that but my blood still boils when I think about the traitor Jane Fonda talking about all the so called "baby killers" and refering to our boys in the military.

A lot of us are not really happy with the circumstances surrounding this war or the reasons we are in Iraq still if most would put themselves in George Bush's shoes for a bit and think about all that was happening at the time I think most would have done the same thing he did.

Those who would not have and condem the President are the same ***holes that wanted to do nothing when Iran kidnapped and held hostage our people at the Embasy there. Oh lets talk with them.. talk they did and our people were there a year in captivity. Perhaps Jimmy Carter did what he thought was the right thing, I do not fault him rather fault those out there who influence the decisions to not defend this country.

My son is in the Army, joined after 9/11 because he wanted to defend this great nation.

I have not seen farenheit 9/11 nor do I want to. To me it is only some weinnee head going off about things and trying to get the country to sit on its thumbs and do nothing. That is why we had 9/11.. if our country had made a show of force when all the mess was happening since around 1969, other countries would think twice about messing around with us or our alies. Sometimes it is a show of force..

Ok, all you out there who are saying... she doesn't care about if our troups die or not... you are very far from wrong... I ask you people.. did you pray for those two boys when they were captured last month, pray that our troups would find them before the enemy slaughtered them? and did you cry when you found out what happened? If you didn't then you are the cold hearted basta*ds!

I don't care if Anyone disagrees why we are there... Our Men and Women need and deserve our support wherever they are sent.

Bless you for your support of our troups...

Answer 4

There is nothing glorious about war. Being a Vet I know first hand. First of all let's ask? Why are we fighting this war? What is it really about? Terrorism? Osama wasn't such a terrorist when we allied with him to mess with the Russians. The Bin Laden and the Bush families have been political friends(Bedfellows) for many years and were flown out of the country (One of the few flights to occur) on 9/11. Pride in the military/ solder lasts only as long as that member is in service. Go to your local VA and look at some of the Korean and Vietnam war vets. Many were and still are very proud to have served their country but ask them how the VA has treated them since. Many veterans come back from service to no home, no money and all that rah rah glory gone. Many of this countries homeless and poor are war vets. Most of the mentally ill are war vets...It is not a coincidence. War impacts you for life. You are trained to kill...You are an automaton with a gun. There is no emotion in war. It is hard for any human being, especially hard for women. Being the givers of life, it is very hard to see young children & women of any culture killed for the sake of war. The people in the streets of Iraq didn't bomb the WTC. Would you really want to be a casualty for something you didn't personally have anything to do with. I was forced to do plenty of things I personally disagreed with but it was part of the "Mission" and had to be done. Can you live with this? Was I proud to have served my country, absolutely. If I could go back in time would I do it again, absolutely not. I would've finished college.

Answer 5

We have the right to say what we want because the Constitution says we can, not because we invaded Iraq.

Being against unnecessary war doesn't mean you're a conspiracy theorist. Many average citizens are puzzled about this activity in Iraq, when we were supposed to be going after the real culprit, Bin Laden. That is, we were supposed to be in Afghanistan, right? Our little side trip into Iraq has more to do with some personal agenda in the White House than getting after the people responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Answer 6

A marine featured in Fahrenheit 9/11 actually said his remarks were taken out of context making people believe he didn't support the war when he did. He went on Fox News a couple of weeks ago about it and has filed a lawsuit against the creator of the so-called "documentary". That being said, many of these people don't have friends or family that have been there and seen the good we have done, they haven't talked to people from Iraq and listened to the stories they tell about how much better their country is now. I've met people whose families fled Iraq years ago and are so grateful we are there now and have hope that they can home. These people replying to your post so negatively are close-minded and ignorant.

Answer 7

the thing with this "war" is the American people were misled. If you remember correctly, at the beginning of the conflict, many Americans were quite supportive of Bush and his "war". The reason for this being that he kept coming on tv telling everyone that Suddam Hussein had and was ready to use weapons of mass destruction. Then he proceeded to spend 3 months or so telling the world that we were coming, thus giving Suddam plenty of time to hide not only himself, but these weapons, if he truly had them.

I think the support for the war efforts began to wane very quickly after no weapons were found, as this was the governments chief reason to invade Iraq.

After 9/11, the messeges were that we need to get Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Quida. Are they even still LOOKING for him????

While I have the utmost respect for most people that enter the military and serve their country, (my family has a strong military history) I feel that at the time our leadership leaves a lot to be desired.

Answer 8

I'm anti-war. I AM NOT anti-American. I AM NOT against the troops. I support the troops with all my heart. They don't need to be overseas. I have not seen Fahrenheit 9/11, although I have heard it's pretty spectacular. I do understand that it's easy enough to fake PARTS of a documentary. It is NOT easy to fake everything.

Back to the fighting and anti-fighting thing. "The only reason those people have the right to say what they just said to me is because, people fought for that right to do so?" That may be true. However, we live in a different world now. I do not take my freedom of speech for granted. I understand what it's worth and what it took to get it. I also understand that we can't keep living like we still need to fight for it today. We don't. The American freedom of speech is here to stay. It isn't in danger of needing military protection any time soon.

Now, how do you know what the fighters believe in? They DON'T GET A CHOICE. If you are in the Army, and the Army goes overseas to fight Iraq and you don't want to, tough luck. I am grateful to each and every person who enters the American military, in any capacity. They are much braver people than I am. I could never bring myself to fight for some unattainable goal with force.

To die with dignity is an honorable goal. People die with dignity in their own beds, at home. I will die with dignity. You are the only one who can preserve your dignity. If you need to go overseas, fighting invisble enemies, and get killed to die with dignity, I pity you. Maybe you should think about the fight here, at home. We are fighting to end poverty, starvation, homelessness. Bring your dignity back to America. Be a hero here.

Answer 9

You say F 9/11 is fake, yet you base it on the fact you haven't seen it? That's an odd way to judge something!!

While I support the military, I would just like to bring it to your attention that they HAD NO CHOICE about going to Iraq. In fact, many who have been are against the war.

The fact that you ignore all of the lack of evidence, including Saddam was not involved with 9/11. terrorism training camps (Which Gen Powell found out were in the territories which we protected the Kurds)did not exist, nor was any Iraqi on an aircraft. Right now the government doesn't know who were on the airplanes!! Right now we don't even know whether the 9/11 Commissions report is factual! And I have read that!!

Osama is not in Iraq!!

Your choice to be for the war, but don't dismiss things you have never seen. It makes you look like the 91 IQ that the president has!!

I listen to drug addict Limbaugh and plagiarist Coulter all the time!!

Answer 10

Would mind explaining how you think invading a country, destroying the infrastructure , killing 30,000 of its innocent citizens, killing 2,500 of your own troops, leaving the population without running water and electricity for 3 years, is going to stop terrorism ?? has it occured to you that doing all that might just piss a whole lot of people off, and give them even more reason to hate you ??

All of that, just to get rid of some nutter and a few of his followers ??

You dont seem to realise that terrorism is a new game. You cant play by the old rules. Terrorists dont belong to a particular country, they dont wear a uniform. How do you identify them ?? So whats the point in invading a country ?? Maybe you should just kill all muslims, as they all seem to be muslims.. Think thats a good idea ??

Terrorism is a mentality. You cant destroy that with bombs.

Wake up to yourself.. Bush cant string two words together, let alone make any rational desicion about world politics.
