Yes thank you! The only reason we can debate on this forum the way we do is to all our veterans – including Conscientious Objectors who still served in their own brave capacity.

We would do well to equal let alone surpass those before us.

It really brings home the human cost of WAR.

It only takes a few minutes and means an awful lot.

“the only sin that is unforgivable is ingratitude.”

So if your family were slaughtered in front of you, that would be ok as long as the murderers country was grateful that their army had killed your family? To me that gratitude would be an insult to my familes grave. But hey, thats just me.

#8 i blame both.

the irony is that i’m being called a coward here yet one of the main guys who put this whole scam together (Cheney) actually was a coward and got out of being drafted 5 times.

if there was a genuine threat to my country, i would fight with every ounce of strength to defend my people. but iraq or afghanistan were no threat to us. if they were i would have seriously considered enlisting.

If none of us had served, if we had no military where do you think you’d be now.

A lot of us have paid more than just taxes to help ensure that you can freely spout your ignorant, cowardly bullshit.

A coward is someone that goes along with something thats wrong without standing up for whats right, and that I am not.

Its sad we don’t have an minimum IQ requirement in the world. Hearing the opinions of people like you just re-enforces the need.

Have you ever served the country? People like you never do.

You can criticize the decision makers, criticize the American people for following a fool like Bush and Cheney, but don’t criticize someone who makes sacrifices his or her life for a higher purpose.

You are a coward.
