Which is why we attacked Iraq and lost over five thousand troopers, suffered thousands more maimed and ruined, and wasted almost five trillion dollars. Right?You know you asswipes that ignore the facts just piss me off. Fact is we were attacked by a group who had trained and whose leader was being protected by the Government in Afghanistan, Doesn't matter if they were Mexican or Canadian the guy we wanted was in Afghanistan.
The reason I would not go sky-diving is if my parachute didn't open I would have all the way down to answer to myself about -- why! What the hell am I doing here?And unless you've been out there in the fight you have nothing to fucking say about how any soldier feels.
So if ever I was "... out there in the fight" you may rest assured I would be asking myself why I'm there. Hopefully I would be as able as my father was to know I was there to protect my family and my Nation against an enemy who was capable of taking them from me. But if instead I was some dimwit who allowed myself to be placed into armed combat against persons who never did a thing to my Country and who lacked the capability to do so, and whose country I was invading for no lawful and legitimate reason, I would have a problem because I am unable to bullshit myself into believing I'm some kind of heroic Rambo simply because I've allowed myself to be mis-used and placed in harm's way by conniving, self-serving politicians. I am much too confident of my masculinity to need that kind of synthetic self-adulation.
So, as I've told you before, Ollie, if you served in World War Two you have my sincere gratitude and admiration. Otherwise you have my sympathy -- but only if you were drafted. If you enlisted you don't even have that. Because you did it to yourself and if you think there was a good reason for doing it you are jerking yourself off.
