I'll assume that you have been banned for the name-calling, but I'll answer, just in case you are still viewing the boards.
You run your mouth about why we should be where and how soldiers dying is justified and that you are glad we are at war but admit to being a coward when it comes to putting your ass on the line?
First of all, a soldier dying is NEVER justified. I absolutely hate it when a soldier dies. However, I RESPECT how each and every one has made the ultimate sacrifice for a good cause. I don't use a soldiers death as a political tool or use them as a reason to bash someone. People need to put the emotions aside and respect the men and women, and their families.
Secondoly, do you know me? Have we ever met? I don't believe we have. So, what in God's name makes you think you know the reasons why I didn't join. You think that just because I didn't enlist, that automatically makes me a coward? What about everyone else that didn't join? Are they all cowards too?
Did it ever occur to you that, maybe, I COULDN'T join. Did you ever think of that, smart guy? I won't go into specifics. We'll just leave it at that because, fankly, it's none of your damn business.
You have an opinion but it isn't strong enough for you to put your ass behind it ?
I'm permitted to have an opinion and express it. You do understand that we live in a country that we can do that, don't you?
I will back my opinions up with facts and set my emotions aside, which many are incapable of doing.
it burns me up to here people thumping their chicken chests and beating the war drum
I don't call what I do/say even remotely close to "beating the war drum." I hate war. I wish this planet could live in peace and we didn't even need a military.
War should never happen unless it is absolutely necessary. The war on terror is most-certainly necessary.
when they NEVER had the balls to enlist.
Like I said above. You don't know me. How do you know that I already didn't?
Oh they'll give you a million reasons why they never did or point to a friend or relative that has served or is serving , like it gives them a pass for not doing so all the while telling everyone why we should be there and what it takes to win.
I do not need a pass for having an opinion. I don't need your approval.
I could really give a damn what you think of me, but you can take your judgement and shove it.
