Why Did My Friends Die in Iraq?

[Dot Com]

people "volunteer" (I did) based on trust that our leaders wouldn't fight "voluntary wars for profit" that only profit well-connected, arms manufacturers & shameless portfolio managers.

The purpose of the military is to fight. A person would have to be patently stupid to miss that fact. But then it was YOU who made the post, so no surprise. In addition to veterans, I also worked with Reservists, so I am well versed in how eager an army sitting on 'ready' is to fight.

That's why the military men and women are largly Republican/conservative

they have so much FAITH in Democrats....

take this thread as an example...Instead of blaming Obama and Democrats who are IN CHARGE now they are all over the place putting the blame on everyone else

fight? For a just cause, yes. For profit? No.

Our leaders are civilians for a reason dummy. Diplomacy is supposed to be strenuously applied first. Military is always a last resort UNLESS you're a Republican that is THEN its "shoot first & ask questions later" Thats how we end up w/ a $3-4 TRILLION unpaid-tab & 10's of 1000's of permanently maimed/scarred vets.

Why Did My Friends Die in Iraq?

For Dick Cheney and his oil buddies.

not like we haven't heard that before..shocking

I know, but that's the reason. It's weird how everyone knows, and no one really cares, and he's never been arrested or anything.

Don't forget the war crimes of dropping white phosphorous on Falugia.


the US army melted men women and children with it.

Its a HORRIBLE death.

So you disagree with the underlying principles of this great country. The founders fought for money or were you absent from school the day they taught 'taxation without representation?' And I hate to tell you, but the laws of this country favor commerce. Commerce and money are why we are here. I guess you missed that little 'Life, liberty, and pursuit of property' thingy too.

Sunshine attacking a veteran. That's just damn funny as much as you have trolled and stalked me on this forum. You are not a veteran. You are nothing but an asswipe.

do you DENY this happened?

 

[rdean]

dear ******* idiot,

Bush was president and was the decider at the time huh

Honestly, you are not even remotely intelligent enough to be posting about anything. What a simpleton.

and in her simply world, Obama is now the decider but everything is still bush's and Republicans fault

what a reality to live eh?

When you look at what Republicans have done being the least productive congress in history, and what they did under Bush, everything kinda is their fault.

I guess you told this veteran off OK. The role of the US, since its founding, IS to fight wars to enrich the weapons manufacturers Cheney/Bu$h II agree w/ you

You are not a veteran. Veterans do not speak to women the way you speak to me on this forum. You are nothing but an asswipe.

Sunny pigeonholing vets I don't give a pass to people based on their sex. You spout-off nonsensical, rw, racist rants, I'll call you out Sugar Tits Simple as that.

Now stop making this thread about you This thread is about the results of an optional mismanaged war started by the last Repub admin.

Everyone who died in Iraq was a volunteer. Given that fact, all that old 70s rhetoric just doesn't work. I have worked with veterans of all wars since WWII. The younger veterans simply don't have the bitterness toward the government that the draftees of the 60s and 70s had.

Vietnam got cranked up when JFK was going to pull out because LBJ had a financial interest in that war. He made millions off it. You libs got issues with a war? Take that one on.

That (not)war cost me more than I ever thought possible.

You bet I have "issues" with it.

I think its wrong for us to desert our vets.

Period.

LOL. How many vets have you EVER worked with? My guess is zero. You are a puffed up pontificating toad frog and all you do is sit and post on a message board all day.

Worked with?
A lot.

Married to?
Two. One killed in nam, the other came back a broken addict.

And yet you think Big Ears is better than W. Why?

I have no idea who you're talking about but it was George Bush who sent our people to their deaths and to be maimed for nothing at all. It was George Bush who put us into debt and all but bankrupted us.

The worthless little asshole didn't even get the oil he was really after.

I agree, but how is Big Ears any different?

Do you, by chance, mean President Obama who got us out of Iraq, is getting us out of Afghanistan (not fast enough imo), and kept us out of other wars by using drones instead?

Is that who you mean?

I'm sick of the idiots who say Obama has gotten us into wars when, IN FACT, he has not.
