That took a lot of audacity.

I do not see how you can even post to these men. Oh, yea, you can 'hide' behind your PC.

Lame.

Because they are my brothers! Im not a poser like some people.
Im not you.
They know a soldiers sacrifices are never to be forgotten. Unlike you who will probably forget them and what they have done, in a few years, because its convenient to you.
Oh your fine, sitting back in your illusion of patriotism as long as it suits you.
I understand because Ive been there.
They know Im right too, or will a few years from now.
You were lost then, lost now, and in 10 yrs you'll still be lost and talking out your ass.
No Lindy you will never understand. unless Bush tells you so!
As you can see we all have a semblance of respect for each other! I stand by what I know. You know what your told. Big difference!

Soldiers, well Infantry soldiers, are broken down from day one.
They are broken down to rid them of habits their mothers taught them.
Then they are built up mentally to a standard the Army is looking for. Killing another human being is not a natural instinct. In fact its unnatural, and one the Army spends alot of money training the human mind to overcome.


It isnt assumed, its a fact. One you'll never understand by being told. You have to live it!!

Seems as if you two, Lindy and you have assumed alot over the years that you know nothing about.

Pssst, What does GWB tell y'all to say and think now!!

Dumbasses!

See how easy you people forget the service of soldiers. It is only conveinient so long as it suits your purpose.
Thats the little Bush in you, and a lesson these young men have yet to learn.

who has forgotten them?

This $#*&^@

I was just asking who that was too is all

they maybe busy at the moment

Sorry,
I guess after all these years
I still have a little brain-washing left in me!
Many times in the years I have asked myself
why I care about my service soo much!

Noone else does,

I come from a long line of military and many friends serving.

I don't speak with authority about it only because I have never served myself....which is why i listen to the service men/women even if they don't agree. they know more about it than the media tornado...so that's why I said i don't believe everything I read.

I said brain washed in ""s because it was a lack of a better term. I realize the military has to train the soldiers to do their duty.

I admire all of our service men/women

See, this I disagree with!
As I have said, the soldiers,
while in Iraq, only see a portion of the whole.

A very small portion,
and whaen they get to step back
and look at the whole,
(after a one-yr-eighteen month tour)
They are amazed at the public and media view,
and their loyalty and pride makes them bias!

Especially, knowing that in 10 months
they must go back!
They are not going to start protesting,

Their very survival may depends on,
what the military calls a proper attitude!

To think,
RESPECTFULLY!!! and as a brother,
that these opinions and observations
are the most accurate and unbias opinions
is naive!

Sure, like when Drivn was talking about,
the everyday lives of the Iraqi people!

I agree these are the best sources of info,
for info of this sort, but
as far as the whole picture,
I thank god for the press.

you'll never get the truth from Bush!
even when hes caught
He lies!

like i said..they know more than the media. the media can turn anything to their opinions. not all solierds will agree with each other...but i'd rather listen to their points

again i don't believe all i read

Im just talking!!!

"Flashbacks, derived from Brain-washed days."
and

Lindy's

pissed me off!!!

i know opinions can get blown out of control...mayb she thinks the same a you

i have half expected in this forum and others for people to start putting their thumbs in their ears, wiggling their fingers and saying neener neener neener to each other

Aint that what she did?

am i wrong???? it's everywhere...waiting for people to hold their breath and stomp their feet too

i am ALL for different opinions...that's how we learn about new things and about each other...correct?

that's why I LIKED the religious threads...until people started ripping others apart...talk about a cyber war zone

Damn Republicans

ahem....mister man...i've seen you stomp your feet and stick out your tongue too...own up...am I right?

you damn everyone...you you you....fence rider

(joking btw) since we are the only ones here at the moments
