I dont follow the slogans "war on terra" etc.

Answer 1

Most of them are full of hot air. They can talk about warmongering and the like, and how we should turn the Middle East into a glass parking lot and blah blah blah. When push comes to shove, the majority of them will burst like a bubble when you pull their card.

Answer 2

Are you really that ignorant, or do you just pretend to get a rise out of people?

I'll answer, just in case you really are ignorant, and not just an ***.

Because there is no need right now. Why should people that have 5, 10, or 20 years invested into a career, give it up to go fight a war? Let the young men and women who have not yet started their careers do it.

If WW3 breaks out, and we have the need for another 500,000 soldiers, then sure, more people would give up their careers in such an emergency to go fight. But for now, there is not an emergency, and there is not a problem with recruiting.

Answer 3

A metaphor:

Just because you support the Catholic church, it doesn't mean you have to become a priest.

Hey, guess what, I'm a registered Republican, "signed up", but Bush is a traitor to his own own party. Sending us to war doesn't give me some sort of patriotic hard on. I think many support Bush, right or wrong, becuase they don't see any alternative. But not enough to die for. That lunatic Pat Buchanan makes a lot more sense than W. I wish he were President instead.

Answer 4

Recruitment applications have been at an all time high since the war in Iraq.

Let us know when we don't have enough applications in.

Furthermore, the vast majority of soldiers vote republican (imagine that)

now go back to your hand holding circle and start singing kumbaya again, and let someone else keep you safe.

Answer 5

Maybe because some young men have read enough about old men's pissing matches to say hell no I won't go.

Speaking of which, it's become common knowledge and denied by no one accept Bushy and the Henchmen (and maybe you) that we were lied to about the tenets upon which this war is based. LIED TO! Y'know what patriots call that?

IMPEACHMENT! Next question.

Answer 6

I can't wait to serve. I'm signing up, and will serve after I complete college. But war is not for everybody. Sometimes people are not meant for the army, and can be counterproductive, so don't say every republican has to sign up. Why don't you sign up?

Answer 7

I was wondering the same thing. It's easy to be for the war if you don't have to risk being killed. If these older politicians are so "patriotic" then why don't they save another's life by signing up?

Answer 8

Because I'm a girlie girl from Wisconsin who wouldn't last through boot camp and that desert heat. I also have a heart condition, albeit minor, that would prevent me from passing the physical. And, damnit, I'll miss laughing at people like you!

Answer 9

Were you of 'fighting age' when a Democratic president got us into the Balkans?

If so - why didn't _you_ sign up?

IMO it is interesting to note that the people who share your political opinions do not feel that you are worth defending.

Answer 10

i don't think the military life is for me. if it came to the point where they really needed people to enlist, sure i would. but as is, the lines to sign up are out the door. as far as i know, they are picky anyways, something about flat feet and seasonal allergies. these are rather common, which would suggest they have more than enough people who want to enlist.
