%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%The left encourages p*** Christ, but have piss running down their own legs at the thought of running a cartoon offending a mooslim, calling military snipers cowards.
Wars cannot be broken down into simple pieces. Who are the hero's, who are the cowards? Who had the righteous cause, who didn't? Depends who you're asking, now doesn't it? There are many reasons men go to the battlefield and most of those reasons are the result of bad information. Either way, once there all those reasons pretty much go out the window. You end up fighting to save your own ass and the asses of those that serve with you. All else loses relevance. We leave the great debate for the pontificators. Survival is all that matters.

Like you "understand" being pregnant.
Try serving yourself, douchebag. You don't "understand" diddly.
Admittedly my opinion is jaded by my own experiences from Viet Nam. I do not trust this government in their reasoning for going to war, nor do I believe in their ability to prosecute a war once in it. That said, I believe that every single person that enlists in the military, particularly during war, believes that they are doing their patriotic duty. I know I did. They believe that they are defending the country and our freedom. In a sense they are, but my post was meant to reflect the cold reality of the battlefield. All that God, country, and moms apple pie go out the window when you're in the shit. You just do what needs doing to defend yourself and those around you. There is no big picture. Should you be lucky enough to survive, there is some reflection about the big picture once again, but it's always about you and your buddies that takes precedent.then as a solider is it still worth doing if you are not literally defending the homeland?
I understand the military.
I don't understand the volunteering to be treated like shit driving around in humvees getting blown up. Don't get me wrong... I sometimes thank these guys when I see them in uniform... because I think they really buy into the defending the country deal...
but I still get pissed when I think about the way the polticians and perhaps the military leadership prosecuted that war..
its almost like they wanted to create the appearance of losing ... so haliburton and the other defense and oil cronies could steal more money longer.
seriously... I am a patriot... if I am wrong about the establishment let me know. I would be happy to be wrong.
