Military is a necessary evil, luckily in our case it is completely voluntary. People that are in the military are doing it because they want to and believe in their cause. I have yet to hear someone say that if they had the chance to go back and join or not join that they wouldnt join. Even the ones that tell me not to enlist wouldnt trade in their experiences.
As for your comments about being manipulated and brainwashed. I'm sure you goto work or school 5 days a week and are "manipulated and brainwashed" into doing what your boss/teacher tells you to do. Because you know... being in the military IS a job you know. [ 02-19-2003: Message edited by: Pesco ]

People like you make me sick. Honestly. The only reason you're allowed to say things like that stupid, 13 year old wannabe-political-but-failing-hard comment is BECAUSE of the soldiers who keep you free. That is honestly the single stupidest thing I have ever read on these boards. And I've been going here a long time. Stop taking Political lessons from Geeorn.
How did that old quote go? "It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag"? [ 02-19-2003: Message edited by: Frog ]

you are a complete and total fucknut. the military of the US is made up of people who will freely lay down thier lives in the hope that they will defend this country.
of course, Snoota thinks that because i'm against military action....well....anywhere on moral grounds that i instantly vilify anyone in the military. but then, i'm just a goddamn flag burning liberal with absolutely no depth of character beyond my political beliefs. because as i'm sure everyone here knows, it's IMPOSSIBLE to be anything other than a political belief.

Tell me what getting more UN inspectors in will do? Tell me what more talking will solve? Tell me just exactly what a passive stance will accomplish.
Peace cannot exist without war. Without war there is no peace to get comfortable in. So what? We sit back, and take the diplomatic approach in some blind, and completely stupid, ideal that Hussein can be talked down, that all he needs is a little understanding and this can all be averted?
Has anyone forgoten that that entire part of the world has been a thorn in America's side since before most of us were born, and that all the time, in order to keep up international face, that we backed off dealing with the issue in force, that they have only grown stronger? So we let in more inspectors that can be skirted around and led, as has been the case in the past. If he wants things hidden, he can hide them. Period. He can be as openly cooperative as he wants, and still hide what he chooses. This is fact, and we know it. Talk nice, play nice? To what end? HOw long has this shit been going on and accomplishing anything except stalling tactics, and more international errors, and costs to the american people?
Want to bring up North Korea? Yeah North Korea is nuclear capable. However, they lack the ability to globally attack... Can the same be said for Hussein? Supposedly. But you know what, he's the difference between NK being a semi domesticated wolf, and Iraq being a wild dog. A wolf may turn, but it's open and understood, and handlers are quick to capable outcomes. A wild dog is unknown, unpredictable, vicious. Not to mention with the backing of many terrorist organizations, support in Korea, and other unified "undergroud" groups. Husseins reach is far larger, far less understood, and far more dangerous BECAUSE it's so unknown and so far reaching.
To those who say give peace a chance, I'd really like to know how you can feel that way, support that view, and back it up with logical action.
And to those who bitch about the government, war, and the long arm of America. Get a clue. The only reason you can express your distaste is because of the very things you protest. The only reason you exist outside of repression, and live in a country that gives you the luxuries you so choose to take for granted is because someone else died to make it possible. In a war, where innocent people died, but where an ideal to choose freedom won out in the end. You are free, because you are ALLOWED to be free. It has since become a right, and something that is so easily taken for granted today. This nation revels in apathy now, and I find it pathetic.

You're much better off admitting you made a stupidass comment than trying to slip out of it. Noone here is ever fooled by shit like the above comment.

Bummey has been greenlit.
I love this thread.
It's not something people hear about.
I've been told by him on more than one occasion that if I considered military service that he'd come kick my ass from one end of the base I was at to the other. He has his issues with his service, but he wouldn't trade them for anything. He doesn't want me to go through the same issues that he's had to deal with since getting out (basically PTSD wound up being the root cause of my parent's divource) but he did make it crystal clear that the only reason I can breath free air is because of men like him. "We willingly gave up our freedoms and liberty to ensure that no one else would have to."
The folks who step up for military service are generally some of the most giving people put on this earth. They've willingly stepped up and put asside their safety and peace to ensure that the rest of us will not have to. These assholes that bitch about not wanting to do military service are some of the lowest form of scum around. I personally didn't want to do military service, however if I had to, I would. The people that tend to bitch about the military are the people who wouldn't answer the call to arms unless someone was holding a gun on their family, and some wouldn't do it even then.
If you can't take pride in or at least respect the people and the services who help provide the security and freedoms that you were born with, please feel free to get the fuck out.

Trolling are we? Why not just save your energy and not post, instead go out into the world and use those witty brain powers of yours for good!
Who knows, we might all get lucky and you get hit by a bus in the process.
While I have more important interests at hand than military service, such as a higher education and getting into a high-paying job, if I were to be called upon in a draft, you can bet that I'd be packed up and ready to go the next day. Just about every eldest son in my family's lineage has at least been presented with the duty to serve, even if they did or didn't get a chance to serve. My great-grandfather fought in WWI, both my grandfathers in WWII, my great uncle fought in both Korea and Vietnam, my Dad nearly got called for the draft for Vietnam, and would have gone immediately had he been. There hasn't been a draft since, but if there is one, I won't shirk my duty.
They say that those who haven't experienced wars are the ones who most frequently criticize it. I've known many different soldiers, some old, some young, but each impressed me with their dedication and patriotism. Even my ninth-grade history teacher, suffering from complications due to Agent Orange during Vietnam still didn't regret what he did, that he was glad he had a chance to fight for his country.
As far as Iraq goes, sooner or later they're going to slip up, or attack, and it will be in that instant when we go in and take them out. Are they a bigger threat than North Korea? Maybe not, but they're too highly suspicious to be totally left alone, and have had a history of being belligerent not only to the US, but to the UN and others. If we go to war with them, the brave men and women who are going off to fight will have my support. And I'm willing to bet that we'll sift some cleverly hidden WMD out of the rubble, where they had been moved away from inspectors.
They're willing to give their life so that people like Bummey can bitch about them. There are no words for how deeply I respect our armed forces, and I'm glad to see them getting recognized.
