Could You Combat Vets Pls Educate The People Who Say We Haven't Been At War Since W W 2?

[EconChick]

A number of members have posted this in some of the serious threads on this Board. When asked how all these vets received missing limbs over the past few decades, the problem with the word game goes over their heads.

There's the academic and political wording, and then there's reality.

Any Vets or others care to help educate them?

 

[Wacky Quacky]

Do you really think someone who lost a limb really cares what the fuck you, Bush, Obama, or some liberals call it?

The reason why is the important thing here, not what it's called

The cold war and the first gulf war and the war on terrorism sure felt like wars to me.

So they didn't lose limbs fighting in wars?

Well, the combat vets I know call it war and they don't mince words when they say it either.

Every vet I know calls it war. But hey, good to know there are those that don't call combat war.

I got no issues with the air farce...lol just kidding

 

[deltex1]

Putting semantics aside, we have been in 5 wars since ww2. We haven't "won" any of them. Maybe it's time for a General to be president...or better yet a SEAL...we need to relearn the art of killing.
