No, there is freedom of expession and mind. You are not bound to anything or to believe in anything just becoz you are obliged to.
Be free to have your own piece of mind!

You don't understand why all of that was said. I think everyone now supports the troops that are fighting for us in Iraq, Afganistan, whereever they are now and whether or not they support the war. But when Vietnam happened, it was not a popular war and there are great similarities between the two-like a war we cannot win, where we are not wanted, where it's hard to tell your friend from your enemy and on and on. One big difference is that the troops were not supported then. Those that fought were not popular, received no homecoming or support from anyone including the government. Back during Vietnam if you said you supported the troops everyone tried to say you supported the war. People refused to differentiate between the two. It was a horrible time to be a vet. To go through all of that and come home to nothing. . .Check out the old Rambo movies and how he was treated as a vet. It's a movie but the basis of it is true. No one cared about the vets and noone cared whether they came home or not. The assholes he was referring to are President Bush and his band of renowns that keep us fighting a war we will probably never win-much like Vietnam. Vietnam was a crock. You are aware that a war is good for our economy and that was the gist of Vietnam. So many died for nothing and got no thanks for it. The guys you are talking about are veterans that fought for our country-probably before you were born. They deserve our respect as much as the soldiers of today. Maybe more because they didn't get theirs back then. I assure you that they meant no harm and no disrespect to our soldiers fighting today. They have been there and done that and understand what it takes to do what our soldiers are doing today.

You are free to voice your opinion because of those who gave their lives for our country. I am very anti war. But, I am not stupid. We Americans are very arrogant (probably why we are at war) We fuss about the current war, yet we keeping buying SUV's, filling our tanks with gas, buy more cars, live in one city and work in another. And no matter how expensive gas gets, we still continue to drive. We are smart enough and rich enough to find alternative energy...or what the heck, why not get our oil off the west coast USA or Alaska or Montana....etc. Nope, instead we depend on the middle east. What hypocrites we are!
We are hit by terrorism and are rightly shook up. But, what we don't realize is that 911 would be happening all over our country is not for our military. We can travel from city to city.....and state to state without proving who we are and why we are going somewhere.
I think it very dangerous for us to be in the middle east. Children there are taught to hate Americans and live to die for their cause. Our American kids play violent video games but we frown on us being at war.
I believe we would be in this war no matter who was in power.

There is this seriously flawed notion that "you are either with us or against us". i mean when you know that your country is at war based on lies & is responsible for the deaths of hundreds and thousands of people, its your duty to stand up and oppose.What is wrong is wrong and not opposing is same as commiting it. Most of the time acts of greed are carried out in the name of "patriotism",because then anyone opposing it can be termed unpatriotic.same happened with Muhammad Ali when he opposed the draft to Vietnam. We have to remember "patriotism is the last resort for scroundel".

You are SO reported.
Not just to the Yahoo police but also to the CIA, the FBI and all the other good agencies who told us about all those weapons of mass distraction that naughty Sadam Hussain had.
You better hide...you are UnAmerican.
