Wow, are you really that sheltered? We were attacked by terrorists...plain and simple....if you think those few people that actually carried out the plan on sept. 11 are the only people involved you are being very naive. This is a war on terror.....Iraq is part of it.....sure this administration lied to us about why we are fighting and dying in Iraq, but I'm looking at the big picture. Am I a Bush supporter? NO, definatly not. And, that's why you need to make a distinction between your military and the current administration......Now....this is were I get angry with what you wrote. The reason that those in the US Military deserve respect is because we have the balls to fight for you, fool. Granted those in this generation haven't been given the oppourtunity to fight for a noble purpose, but for you to say anything disparging about our current military is spitting on the graves of the 500,000 men that died to make sure you don't have to speak german or japanese. You know...a quick story about the ideals of the American people during WWII. I've heard a story about a small town in which two men, who couldn't fight, for whatever reason they did not qualify for service, well, they commoitted suicide. It was a different time then, there was a sense of duty. And that is the reason I can't handle anyone that doesn't have the utmost respect for our military and those who serve in it. I mean an arguement could be made that YOU should join up.....serve your country. I realize I would need more time to really explain to you how this country was formed and the (albeit few) wars that actually were neccessary and what I would deem as a war worth fighting. I would have to explain to you a little about who were are up against, and why killing these people is neccessary for YOUR safety. Like I said......if you don't think that there is a VERY formidable force that seeks to do YOU, YES YOU, harm....then wake up. These people......If they could.....they would not hesitate to put a bullet in your face because of the country you come from.....and you NEED to remember that if our tax dollars, and those marketing tactics, and these "prostitutes", if these weren't there to make up the worlds most advanced and best trained MILITARY, these people and many others like it would be knocking on YOUR door right now......telling you to get down on your hands and knees and all you can hope and pray for is that they get it over with quickly. Please....for your self....for everyone around you that you attack with your mis-informed naive opinions....please wake the fuck up and stop being so god damned naive.
