Help! The liberal is threatening me! He's gonna be mean to me! Please...

What are you going to do? Raise my taxes? Leak secrets to the enemy? Hug a tree? Perhaps a hunger strike? Hold a rally and whine about the mean man who disagrees with you? Oh! I know call me a facist, a fool, uneducated, racist, sexist, warmonger...anything to divorce yourself from having to engage in a dialogue your bankrupt idealogy can't win.

You're listing EXCEPTIONS, dumass, not the rule.
Anything to be 'right', just like a scared lawyer.

Truth doesn't matter with peeps like yourself.

I hope you're buddy stays safe.

I've had a lot of friends go over and come back and go over again. I did my best to get as active of a role as possible, being female, but my cadre bungled my paper work so if I ever do go I'll be a Fobbit. The unit I'm heading to is going over there three months before I arrive, so we'll see. I hope I go, I want to go - it's that whole "Well, all my friends went and if I didn't do my part I'd feel like a shit bag for the rest of my life".

And that's coming from a liberal. Who hears way too many conservatives offer lip service but then discourage their kids from joining.

It's good to hear that you're friend is also maintaining what sounds like a healthy attitude. Most of the soldiers I know have voiced very similar sentiments. Just keep sending postcards, emails, letters and what not. Those are some of the best things to get no matter where you are in the Army/whatever service.

If you can't do something smart, do something right.

Good Lord Hero! Since when are our soldiers interrogating people who've planted nuclear bombs in downtown LA? I've always had you pegged as a Jack Bauer-head. I think you need to take a vacation from watching "24". Try to keep at least ONE foot in the real world!

(Oh and BTW, you made it quite plain in your other post that the Iraq invasion had nothing to do with WMD, or with anti-American terrorism. Some day you should really try to compare your various rationalizations with each other. You'll find that for the most part they're self-cancelling.)

Hey, I was all against torture until I started watching '24'. I realized that if its ok to torture someone to prevent a WMD from being used on an American city (it would depend on the City...LA, New York-ok, San Fran-ehh, how big a bomb are we talking...), then the question is not whether torture is justified or not, just under what circumstances. Besides, United Stated policy says torture IS not condoned under any circumstances.

(What does "is" mean again?)

yeah yeah. And now in the real world: what does that have to do with Iraq?

Your laser-like focus never ceases to amaze me.

I dunno. I wonder how he does in court? DO you suppose they keep him there as a - ahem- "court" jester?
