No one should ever be above criticism. No one. Not in a free society. If they do wrong, people will speak of it and it's not for the likes of you to try and silence it.
Allright fine then criticize the soldiers i dont care anymore but make sure you know what exactly they did in Iraq before you call them "Baby killers" and "Fascists" Go and follow them around for a few months in the hot desert and see things from their point of view, be careful not to get shot by the "poor Iraqi's who are just lashing out because noone listens to them"

I can't think of how to say this without you taking it the wrong way, reading something into it, or just making shit up out of thin air, so I'll address it directly to the soldiers themselves, whichever ones may be reading this, who are far more fucking important than you will ever be.

Though I respect those of you who've signed up and are trying the best you can to do the right thing, you're not defending my freedom or really doing anything for me directly. The only people benefiting from your presence, your sacrifice right now are people who aren't fucking worth the grunge on the bottom of your boots. Your dedication to your duty is being used cheaply as are you yourselves. The worst among you are being excused, concealed and coddled by people who worship the uniform and don't give a rusty shit for the flesh and blood inside it.
How do you know that they have'nt killed the master planner of the next attack? And who is benefiting the most from this war?

People like DP here, they're not your friends. They support you as long as you continue to do what you're told and you supply them with the occasional bit of cadaver porn they can live vicariously through while you sweat out the reality of bullets and bombs. If you don't quietly follow orders and you speak up about policy you see as wrong, if you come home and they feel that the job isn't done to their satisfaction, they can and will turn on you. They will abandon and forget you like they did the soldiers who fought in Vietnam, who they saw as losers for being defeated by such a "weak" military power. They will angrily tell stories about "hippies" and "liberals" spitting on you when you came home while they pretend not to see your brothers, broken in body and mind, wandering neglected through the streets or begging for spare change so they can buy another bottle of rotgut to chase the memories away.
I am noones friend. I support the soldiers no matter what. Funny if you still dont believe that people actually protested them go ask some vietnam vets and see what they say.

For you, the soldiers, the ones doing the job and trying to retain your humanity, the ones not shooting Iraqi civilians and then planting shovels and AK47s on them, the ones just trying to keep yourselves alive in a situation you didn't ask to be in, I respect you and my thoughts and hopes are with you. All I ask in return is that you understand that because of the position the soldier occupies in our society, the power you have over life and death, I will always scrutinize what you do and criticize those I see as wrong. Not because I hate soldiers, but because I know what they're meant to be. Not gods, not flawless heroes, just men and women who defend others from harm.
Really? You sure dont sound like it.

Rambling, incoherent, contradictory nonsense that I don't even know how to address, especially with you answering your own questions like you're schizophrenic. Seriously, lay off the Robitussin.

What I find amazing is that someone posted a thread about something positive for once about the Iraq war. God knows we get enough trash about it on T.V news. In fact, if someone isn't bleeding, we don't hear about nothing. There are a lot of places in Iraq that are going well, there is a lot of things rebuilt and kids going to school. There are places where soldiers are dying to protect these kids and adults alike even though it is hard to tell who the enemy is.

In the fight that the U.S. soldiers are in, I believe they have done a hell of a job minimizing the horrors that can come from war. This post was to show some appreciation to guys who are doing the RIGHT thing while they are there. Of course, again, the mass media will only report if one of our soldiers doesn't do the right thing...WHICH IS VERY RARE!! But it is sad that it is the SAME people (you know who you are) in these forums who can not even allow a little light of hope and positivity flicker in these threads.

I found it hilarious that some of you couldn't even for one moment let a thread like this stand for what it was. Instead you have to turn into the same negative bullshit trash you guys always bring up. The negatives our soldiers do is very small compared to what the positives they live by every day. My friend died in Iraq doing the RIGHT thing and believing in what he was doing for his country. You may or may not like the reasons we are there, like a lot of people, but it is hilarious how few of you have ANY SELF CONTROL about even for one minute allowing a thread like this to give credit where credit is due.

Look, criticize and moan and whine when the time is right....but for God's sake, show a little class and SELF CONTROL about what you may feel. It no big shocking news story to know that some of you hate America, we know it, we have heard it practically every single day in these forums so spewing the negative stuff towards America does nothing but make you look like a giant, leaking ass in this type of thread. Have some integrity, show some self control and let this thread be what it was meant to be. Are you mature enough to do that??.....I certainly don't see it. Sometimes you have to look beyond your one sided hatred, your one track minds and sometimes show some thought for others that don't particularly agree with you....is that too hard??? Looks like it is too hard......pretty sad and pathetic.
Do you understand what the word 'Debate' in 'Debate and Serious Talk' means?
Do you understand what "One track minds" means....or how about "decency" or how about "self control"???

You can't generalize an entire group of people, then single out people for exemptions. That's like saying "I hate all mexicans", but when one comes up to you and says "That offends me," you respond "Well, I wasn't talking about you."

Neville Chamberlain, the guy who negotiated the appeasement of Hitler, was actually a conservative. Eastern Europe suffered under Communism because the Soviet Union had a tight grasp on them. Blame the liberals for not wanting another major war right after WWII? That's outrageous. Not the mention that Harry Truman (Democrat, but you know, Democrat=liberal right?) had a part in the Marshall Plan, which helped rebuilt Europe after WWII, preventing Communist sentiment from pervading too much, and the Truman Doctrine, which contained Communism, and NATO. But, pffft, he didn't do anything to rid/stop Communism right? Yeah, that war in my home country during his presidency had nothing to do with Communism. Let's look at the next President during the Cold War - Dwight D. Eisenhower. (Republican, which means he was conservative) Oh yeah, he's conservative, that means he didn't let Eastern Europe suffer under the Soviet Union. Oh wait, it's not 1991 yet. Whoops. Seriously (I'll say this again), this whole hatred of liberals and conservatives is total bollocks that detracts from the potential solutions to problems plaguing our society.

It's a good point though...  Conservatives were the original isolationists.  Liberals were the original interventionists.

Granted, I would say intervening in 2 World Wars makes a hell of a lot more sense than any of the interventions we've made since WW2.

We all know US soldiers are decent human beings, the problem is what they've been ordered to do and why.
Because the commanders we have in charge today were the ones that fought in Vietnam. If you know enough about Vietnam and how bad the command chain was then you would know why the troops are given such awkward orders. Plus, you also got to blame the press for inflaming little problems that arise.

You are trying to compare a democrat of 1945 to a democrat of today, as well as a republican of 1953 to one of today. It doesn't work like that. The terms liberal and conserative, which are so bandied about today, have no historical associations with Republican and Democratic parties. Lincoln's republicans have nothing to do with Eisenhower's republicans, and even less to do with Bush's republicans. The same can be said for the democratic party through time.

Yeah, that was just a play on the whole notion a lot of us seem have. I do realize that parties do change over time, but Liberals are always associated with being Democrats and conservatives are associated with being Republicans on this forum...

Seriously (I'll say this again), this whole hatred of liberals and conservatives is total bollocks that detracts from the potential solutions to problems plaguing our society.

Please, no more of this in at least this thread...
You are trying to compare a democrat of 1945 to a democrat of today, as well as a republican of 1953 to one of today. It doesn't work like that. The terms liberal and conserative, which are so bandied about today, have no historical associations with Republican and Democratic parties. Lincoln's republicans have nothing to do with Eisenhower's republicans, and even less to do with Bush's republicans. The same can be said for the democratic party through time.
Oh my god he actually gets it! I hate the liberal mindset! Thats what i've been saying and noone understood it! Bravo +1 when it recharges.

Neville Chamberlain, the guy who negotiated the appeasement of Hitler, was actually a conservative. Eastern Europe suffered under Communism because the Soviet Union had a tight grasp on them. Blame the liberals for not wanting another major war right after WWII? That's outrageous. Not the mention that Harry Truman (Democrat, but you know, Democrat=liberal right?) had a part in the Marshall Plan, which helped rebuilt Europe after WWII, preventing Communist sentiment from pervading too much, and the Truman Doctrine, which contained Communism, and NATO. But, pffft, he didn't do anything to rid/stop Communism right? Yeah, that war in my home country during his presidency had nothing to do with Communism.

You hate 'liberals' yet I'd be willing to bet money that you couldn't actually define the word in any meaningful manner (apart from putting in a few general insults against people you hate in general)
The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

Liberal: a individual with tendencies towards individual thought. Wiki definition

Now you define conservative.

I scrolled down to the bottom of the first page with a smile on my face, I then clicked the page six so I could respond at how nice those pictures are.

And then I read some liberal/conservative flame wars on page six...

Seriously people, I think that nobody should associate them selfs with a political party.

Oh, if we want to pull things straight from wiki rather than actually thinking of our own definitions...
