will u volunteer to fight the war in Iraq now that Bush wants to send more american troops to Iraq?

Answer 1

I'm in Baghdad, now.

This is my second deployment in 4 years.

I will do it again if asked.

I will win.

Answer 2

Ha ha ha...you're kidding, right? At this point over 5,550 servicemen have voted against this war with their feet: they have all gone AWOL. No one in their right mind wants to come home missing body parts...or worse still, in a body bag...to fight an illegal war on behalf of an idiot who has neither actual military service nor even the least shred of honour.

We hear a lot about the approximately 3,000 servicemen and women who have died for their country...or to put it more bluntly, were murdered by Bush as surely as if he pulled the trigger himself. But, a casualty is anyone who is incapacitated such that they can no longer perform their duties. Besides those brave, young dead who have been so callously wasted by their country, there are another 50,000 servicemen who will come home without their arms, legs, or other parts. Many of them will live the rest of their lives permanently traumatized; their PTSD will be so severe that their ability to participate in our society will be greatly reduced.

We must call, email, and petition our Congress to rein in our radical cowboy President and to get our troops home NOW. Our servicemen constitute the best of us, and they deserve much better than to be left for the slaughter in a conflict that most of us now agree shouldn't have started in the first place.

Answer 3

No. Why would I?
If I wanted to go over there, I'd go as an independent contracter and make 20 times more money then the troops. Why would I want to get paid $20,000 a year to get shot at while trying to protect a gas truck when I could get paid $400,000 from an independent contractor to do the same thing?

Answer 4

No buddy, I am not an idiot, I will not expose my life, while the corrupt politicians and their partners the oil companies are increasing their benefits.
As an example I can tell you this:
The cost of production of one barrel of oil in Iraq is 4.00 $, and it sells in the USA in 65 $ or more.

Answer 5

If I had too sure. I have served in the Middle east before during Bush Sr's time and again in Clinton's. I currently don't meet the health and age requirements to get back in the military but if needed I would go.

Answer 6

I wouldn't volunteer to begin with. Anyone who does volunteer for military service knows they can be called at any time. It's not like they don't know what they are getting into.

Answer 7

No, its all a mistake just like he said in his speech thing last night. How will sending more troops be a better idea than before? So sending troops in the first place was a "badly planned tactic", so lets send in some more? Uh.......I think not.

Answer 8

No. Though I support the war to free the Iraqi people, sending more troops is not going to win it. We studied his strategy in my war class last term (I took it as an elective) and we, the class, concluded that numbers will not win, but what needs to be done is convince them that we are there to help, and let the Iraqis do the work, with the U.S. as a supporter. In other words, it's almost impossible to beat an idea, but it is easy to convince someone to change an idea, which is what needs to be done.

Answer 9

I'm 32, married, and have two boys...if I was called for duty...I'd go.

I have friends and family serving right now, friends and family that recently returned from there for service, and I'll take my turn if I'm called.

Answer 10

Yes! I already did volunteer, and I will again! We have to win there. Failure is not an option...

Answer 11

Nope. I'm not fighting the Bush's administration's war. They need to handle it themselves.
