Actually surprised to agree with a few people after reading this thread. Not surprised that so many people have the, "Support everything thew military does or you're a scumbag and should GTFO out of 'murca and you should die" approach. Pretty sad to hear though.

Holy fuck. I'm fucking shocked on how many people I agree with in this thread. This is insane. Really pleasantly surprised.

Maybe there's some hope still.

You do realize that the citizens of the United States legitimizes the power of the government. Signing up for the armed forces is allowing the government to attack Afghanistan. Afghanistan has only been taken over once, by Alexander the Great. Ghangis Khan couldn't get into Afghanistan and the British failed twice, the second attempt being the worst defeat for the British of the century. What we seek to do in Afghanistan is very difficult. We are sending Men and Women to die and loose their sanity.

I think "Support the troops" is a ridiculous notion. I can listen to someone argue that they "respect the troops". I don't think I can. All I could say that would satisfy my positive judgments directed towards the troops would be "I respect the troops for the pain they suffer and wrong doing they endure".

It's fine if you don't support the cause, but what the fuck kind of a stone hearted bitch can say they don't support the troops? I don't agree with the reasons we are in there, but Jesus, I how can you honestly say you don't support the troops? I think she needs to have a genuine conversation with a veteran to truly know what war is.

I really don't think that anything I have said is all that patriotic, I'm simply pointing out differences. Of course I'm not talking about all Muslims, but they are out there, and it is a fairly large population that wish death on any americans. Hell a kid that went to my school who moved back to the middle east posts shit that portrays terrorists as heros almost daily on facebook, even though he grew up with all of us and in my eyes had a good amount of good friendships. Its definitely a different mentality.

Oh so it's not 90% then, i mean either way you can't deny innocent people get blazed down. Part of war sure, but it's still an ugly side worth mentioning. And if it was ever around 90% that's way over any acceptable amount. As far as your college info, in order to get promoted you have to have a degree, luckily they hand out credits like candy while you're in there it seems. "Halliburton, KBR, L3" no dude the point being made was the efforts of our armed forces are felt by corporations with interest in international resources, not that there are private security firms working in whatever war area we're talking about. Bottom line is you keep posting a bunch of shit, not really against anything. I haven't stated any random facts, just saying the main video did have some real points and as vapid as they may be, just saying gtfo is worse. btw, quitting this dumb back and forth, I feel the same way. (But I'll take the last word) Good nite.

your right when supporting equality for all men and women regardless of race was an unpopular opinion people should of just kept there mouth shout. One of the greatest freedoms in first world country's is the right to free speech because it lets them speak out when they feel something is wrong.

De·moc·ra·cy    [dih-mok-ruh-see] Show IPA
noun, plural de·moc·ra·cies.
1.
government by the people; a form of government inwhich the supreme
power is vested in the people andexercised directly by them or by their
elected agents under afree electoral system.


that means everyone has a say regardless of there opinion. How you can say you are fighting for someone's freedom and then turn around and tell them keep there mouth shut because there opinion is wrong is beyond me

not supporting the cause is fine but to say you dont support terrorist is like saying it wouldn't matter if they all died suddenly. the terrorist are people just like you and me, with families and dreams. don't be ignorant

saying you don't support something is very different from saying it wouldn't matter if they all died.

generally, when someone is activly trying to kill me, my loved ones, and my countrymen for actions we personally had no hand in, i would be overjoyed if they died.


Youre right, it would matter if those that intentionally killed innocent people died. the world would be better off.




And can someone answer, why they think the war in Afghanistan was unjustified?

I think we were justified in going after bin laden and other key members of al qaeda, but bin laden fled afghanistan shortly after we invaded and now that he's dead and al qaeda is mostly dismantled (especially in afghanistan) it's no longer justified.

Once you take out a countrys govt, you are kinda, sorta responsible for helping them to form a working govt again. We are trying to get that country up a running again, and for the most part we have done about as well as could be expected. We are in the proccess of pulling out, and have been for the past year.




I am just wondering why(as are you most likely) kids seem to think the war in Afghanistan was unjustified?

I'm not talking about Iraq either, that's a different (worse) story. The primary victims of the war in afghanistan have been the people of afghanistan, not the Taliban. The world would be a better place if the Taliban ceased to exist, but that doesn't mean that the world will be a better place if we bomb the hell out of the country in order to make the Taliban cease to exist. You gotta look at cost vs benefit.

Also, the war was illegal according to the UN charter (which was ratified by the US and its therefore US law) because nations can only use armed force against other nations for self defense or when approved by the UN security council. Al Qaeda attacked us, not the Taliban, and like I said, we were justified in going against Al Qaeda, not the Taliban.

So your world history sucks. the taliban, fed, housed, supported, protected, and funded Al Qaeda.


Are you also argueing that Hezbollah has nothing to do with Iran?


What do you think would have been an appropriate response to 9/11?

That's not entirely accurate. Bin Laden came to Afghanistan in 1996 without the permission or invitation of the Taliban and when the Taliban learned about it they kind of inherited jurisdiction of him. They didn't just jump in bed with him either, relations were rocky for a long time but the leader of opposition to Bin Laden within the Taliban died and they eventually started to get along, however the Taliban was not involved in 911. What we should have done post 911 was drive a wedge between the Taliban and Al Qaeda, but in stead we did the exact and decided that we would not make any distention between members of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, which means we went to war with two groups and made them allies when we could have gone to war with one and made them enemies.

lol I didn't think we did so bad, comparatively. I couldn't resist putting the Osama picture in, that was sort of for shits and giggles. My view is, support the troops, don't support those who would use them unnecessarily.

slightly off, but I don't support the policy. let's talk about it. of course no one is going to say 'I want negative things to happen to brae young people with weapons' but what people are allowed to say, separate from that is that they don't agree what the policies are that lead to these over all negative situations.
