Answer 3

Arm chair politicians are like back seat drivers. It's all talk and no action. Why would they want to go to a foreign country and get mutilated or killed for a bunch of foreigners when they can use the war to bash other Americans? Being pro-war has never made someone patriotic. Being pro-American does. And being in favor of keeping Americans in America is very patriotic.

Answer 4

What??? Wait a minute are you a kid that is trying to repeat what you thought you heard your parents say? Let me inform you that there are plenty of Republicans, Democrats, Independants, Athiests, Christians, all over in Iraq fighting to keep us free. Wow.

Answer 5

Scott your really being a pest. I've done my service as has the rest of my family. I'll go Monday morning if my shipmates needed me. You & your ilk howerevr will continue to sit at starbucks and *****. JFK once asked "Ask not what your country can do for you? Ask what you can do for your country?"
Your Jackass party has all but ran off those Democrats. We call you Un American because you use terms like Nazi & baby killer to describe us. You care more about wethier a terrorist has a soft pillow than National security.

Answer 6

I am too old to serve. I served in the military when I was a young man fresh out of high school. 7 days after graduation to be precise. My parents were not poor. I vote a split ticket but ,lean to the republican ticket. When they reinstate the draft will you move to Canada?

Answer 7

Actually, statistically the majority of the active armed forces personnel say that they consider themselves Republican, and nearly 72% of them come from states with a Republican house majority in the state capitol.

Answer 8

Is there someplace where this type of propaganda can be purchased?
It sounds a lot like the dumb things a certain Democratic Senator was recently making that also had no basis in fact either.
Just because you say it often does not change reality.

Answer 9

The Republican who hold high Offices have son's and daughter's who are not fighting this war! Not their KIDS but they don't mind talking our kids into giving up their lives!

Answer 10

Not many people are veterans. It's not fair to accuse democrats or republicans for this reason.

Answer 11

You need to get your little head out of your big butt! Last tally I saw showed approximately 80% of American Miltary Personnel are REPUBLICANS!!!!!!! Where are the democrats? Oh yes, they are hiding.
