Just curious.
So you don't suggest sending me...I already did my time between the two Iraqs, US Navy.

I have to say, you people who are walking about asking "how do you send somebody"... you are avoiding the issue. Like I said, I was in the military, I know the system. Please avoid making yourself look stupid, ok?

Let me add a little tidbit or two:
1) Yes, I "really am" a vet. For those serving now -- God bless you. I got out in order to be able to see my kids grow up, no more, no less. I enjoyed my time in the Navy. I know it is hard to believe people when you don't know them.
2) Believe it or not, this is a totally innocent question. When I joined, we were just at the tail end of the first Iraq war, headed into a peaceful (or relatively peaceful) time. My mom was absolutely furious with me. I was just wondering how others are fairing now...some of you people really need to RELAX!!
3) Again, I know that service is voluntary, for the 3rd time...you misunderstand, or more likely, misconstrue the question.
4) Opinions read approximately 30% of Americans are generally satisfied with Bush, give or take maybe 5%. What's so difficult and complex about that? You are either for the policies or against.

What is it about you people who want to force people into a conflict?
I signed a contract to protect my country and therefore I volunteered to go to conflict so otheres have the option not too.
By the way, I support Bush's policies on the conflict in Iraq. The war was won in 2003 hero.
You continue to whine about people who support the current administration should send people to the conflict. I believe in our freedoms and proudly serve so others do not have to.
Blame, blame, blame...it's what Dems do.

You human beings are falling for a media bait and turn. The headlines and the attention getting first few sentences make it appear like popular Stanley McChrystal is the single being quoted yet once you study greater you will see that it became his help that became making those comments and not McChrystal. McChrystal's mistake became giving Rolling Stone get entry to yet he did not violate the Uniform Code of protection rigidity Justice.

This is where the Bush supporters become vacant and without an answer. Rare ones are an exception, but most recognise that they are in a futile war, even the ones who have seen their sons and daughters get dragged into a war that they were lied about and continue to be lied about.
Others are too proud to admit the futility of the act. That is the ego.

Here is one for you: I do not support Bush's policies; I think the invasion was a gross tactical and strategic error. However, my oldest son is in Pensacola right now going to "A" school. Some people do, some don't.

Amen Brother!!! 15 years and still in the reserves, I have been to Iraq twice now. The Conservatives are reporting false data here on Yahoo too by the way. I have been attacked for stating the truth here many times by the Conservative propagandist of Yahoo, that has absolutely no validity to his claims.

Chickenhawks don't serve in Iraq, they just sit at home blogging about Liberals for the war effort.

Even tho I didn't send anyone, I watched as my loved ones were scared but proud to serve. Thankfully some of those loved ones came back home, I wish I were able to say the same for those who came back with a flag. I worried night and day about those over there, but I was also proud that they were/are willing to give everything they have to protect us, even those that can do nothing but complain about the military being over there. I still and always will support Bush, at least he's not just sitting back with someone under his desk (or handing out cigars), while this country was being attacked.

30% of Americans that support Bush's policies have the same IQ as Bush, that's why they are supporting him.

First of all, if you really did serve, thank you for your service.
Second, you're an idiot. The 30% approval rating was quite a while ago. The 30% is an approval rating, not a rating of how many people agree with the policies. Take myself, for example. I agree with the policies, but think he has not carried them out as well as he could. So I agree with the policy, but disapprove of the way it is implemented. See the difference?
Read things for what they are, not what you want them to be.
