yikes rambino, thats a harsh strike....but not for me to decide on the strikes you give other people. Anyways i hope that all guns arent banned cause that'd be really bad. If i was running the country i'd make sure there was a chicken in every pot, and a cap in every A$$. Just a little joke from TV. Nah but i feel that a mental doctors records should be checked before selling guns, as well as criminal records. If all guns are banned it'll be just like prohibition. First it'll tone down a bit, then people will make their own and come back. Actually maybe more people will be cops just to have guns. Many lives have been saved (and ended) by guns. It's just a futile battle trying to take them away. |

God bless the soldiers over there, I know several. However they say that the Iraqi national gaurd is full of really brave people who want their country to be free. Things take time, training a whole army will take a while, can't be done overnight. Besides, when we left Afghanistahn in shambles many years ago a certain man decided to go against us. Bin Laden. The Iraqi people appreciate our help, leaving now would make them really sore at us. We don't want that, and our soldiers there know that. Just like to wish them the best of luck! -------------

everyone here sounds young. This thread was started with the intention of all to realize that freedom is not free and that it has been bought and paid for with american blood and american lives. I apoligize if I offerded anyone with my uncalled for remark. Kerry is what he is, my opinions of him will not change, but this is not the time or place for that comment. . This is about 20 young marines who are most likely a few year older than you guys, They had not even begun to live and they were killed trying to help others, and fighting for what they believe. Some day if our country is as of that in Iraq, I hope some other country will help my family out. ------------- Tippmann A-5 E-Grip JCS DUAL Trigger 14" J&J ceramic 68/4500 bullet drop macro line polished internals LPK The damage done to a man should be such that there is no fear of revenge!!! |

Your ignorance amazes me. If we go in, trash and bomb a country and then just leave... We would make more enemies. We are fixing what we trashed and training troups. Once they have a force capable of defending themselves and whatever else they need, we will begin pulling out, but we will leave a small contingent in country, guaranteed. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

The right to invade and correct an unruly leader was unofficially given to the US, when they became the world's leader, and super power. Like it or not, America is now "World Police" and if the US sat on their hands, watchign the world pass by, we'd be in a sorrier state than today. I, agree that I would like to see a memorial thread, or otherwise, made without being lambasted with 5 year old arguments that everyone has heard. If you don't like it, do somethign about it, don't whine that it's their own fault for being over there, and if you don't want to do something about it, shut up. -------------------------------------------------------- The Marine's Prayer Almighty Father , whose command is over all and whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones and Thee without shame or fear. Protect my family. Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance. Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Make me considerate of those committed to my leadership. Help me to wear my uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold. If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer. AMEN. ------------- Tenacious and Versatile |
