War Protesters

You are naive to think that we aren't. Look up Halliburton's wonderful history.

Wow, offended by those protesting and trying to keep you from dying for someone else's freedom. I personally don't feel anymore free because of this war.

I appreciate that Goodsmitty understands my view and holds no offense to me not supporting this war, nor supporting troops more than any other civil service worker in the states.

I am a veteran protesting the war (spelled w-a-r, not s-o-l-d-i-e-r-s). Where do I fall into your cut and dry logic?

Oooh oooh oooh, I go fishing for one afternoon and find myself being accused of calling soldiers babykillers.  I think maybe I should change my mind and demand more war so you young outspoken patriots can have your turn in the meat grinder.  Before I do this please consider:

1.  From your posts I see that few of you could pass the vocabulary portion of the ASVAB.  This will limit your ability to be an ARMY Ninja Warrior.

2.  When you get used like a two dollar prostitute by your government who will trump up a war like the current one, you can find solace in the fact that veterans from lost causes will be outspoken in keeping you in the meat grinder and that Lula Bell and Cletus will buy a Chinese made yellow magnet sticker to put on their car because they support you in your war in a place that they couldn't find on a map if the Iraqi Walmart's were highlighted on a map for them. <--- WOW!

3.  I'll let the rest of the veterans at the protest know that they are hippies and that they should be ashamed for calling themselves baby killers and not supporting the troops which they are or were.

I got a 62 on Word Knowledge and a 65 on Paragraph Comprehension on my ASVAB. I refused to put any contact info on the forms for it other than my name though. I still manage to get crap mail from the armed services, all of which I just dump back in the outgoing mail box and see how many times I can make it go-round (I have one of those community mailbox things)

And....It was unpatriotic to question...
