Before you call me heartless realize my stocks have only gone up 40%, whereas Dick Cheney's Haliburton stocks have gone up an astounding 540%! Anyways, keep up the great work guys, keep getting shot at and possibly having your legs blown off or worse, it is great for my portfolio!

...Sarcasm was never my favorite form of humor or political comment.
Ever since man has conducted war there have been those to profit from it....the FACT that someone makes a buck does NOT negate the fact that the war is valid or necessary.
there were people who profited from the civil war.....are you suggesting slavery should not have been abolished because somebody makes a dollar?
BTW Chaney donated MORE to charity than he made in his blind trust Haliburton stock
Beyond that Haliburton was the ONLY American company who could provide the service in Iraq....to not hire them would mean the jobs would have had to go to a European company....billions of dollars leaving the American economy and flowing into Europe.
Also because Haliburton was associated with Cheney it has been subject to even MORE scrutiny than normal. They are constantly being investigated and fined.

Just remember to SELL before the war ends. I hope you have enough insider information to allow you to sell before everyone else does. Also, you need to think about the new round of inflation that is sure to follow the end of the war. The fed will have to pay on a HUGE national debt, and inflation is the easiest way to do it. Your profits may not be as big as you think once the dollar starts dropping like a stone.

The Honest fact that you look at it the way you do is cause enough for me to report this question. What are you some sick twisted smart mouth? At least we, yes I am a Disabled soldier, soldiers have stood for something long enough to be accounted for it! Where are you? Sitting on your freaking couch eat chips off your chest playin Halo 2 I bet.
People such as yourselves are a waste of air. Do me a favor cash in your stocks. Mail it to a soldier then join the military, you pick which one Marines, Army. Be my guest. Please stand up an do something alot more meaningful than post some distastefully phrased stupid question on this site.
I wished that all you people out there who enjoy your freedoms could get a taste of what its like to fight for someone Else's

Supporting anything that causes other human beings to suffer is...well not good. So yeah I'm gonna say it's wrong.
This is really a no brainer I would think.

I don't know if it's wrong to support the war, but I'd say that reasoning is wrong.
