it will take more then a few killed per day to defeat the US military. In reality what you have to throw at them isnt much, the only reason you can even pretend it is is becasue the US military has been handcuffed by political correctness. If this were 1944 your country would probably be a smoking hole in the desert. You see, we are not fighting a war, we are setting our military up for failure by forcing them to "fight" based on what people back home want to see. I say remove all media and let the men do what needs to be done or get the fuck out and wait for the nuke to go off in DC so we can get angry again and do what we should have done from the get go. Anyway, clever post, i am sure some of our members who are sympathetic to the "resistance" will enjoy it.

What you, in your abject -Amurica, Right or by Gawd wrong!!"- stupidity cannot grasp is that there was and is nothing in Iraq worth our having fought for.....nothing in Iraq worth a single American citizen sacrificing their life over.

There were no WMDs in Iraq. I repeat; there were no WMDs in Iraq. Your own pResident Bush has even publicly admitted it. Hence the primary justification for our political leaders to have sent troops in harms way was a complete and total LIE.

Life for the people in Iraq under Saddam Hussein was not good. Unfortunately, now that --thanks to the US-- the infrastructure has been obliterated over there and over 600,000 people have been killed over there, their life in many respects is even WORSE now than it was then.......well, at least it is for those who remain alive.

But for pathetic cretins like you, the answer is not to admit that one of the worst foreign policy blunders in the history of the USA should be lain at the feet of GWBush and his band of co-conspirators, (who wanted to go into Iraq for ONE solitary reason; because of the presence of massive reserves of oil there) and for the USA to act in a sane manner and pull out of Iraq immedaitely.

THAT would be far too rational and sensible for you and your ilk. Instead, the answer for people like you is to inflict yet MORE unecessary violence and bloodshed. The fact that the U.S. Govenment enjoys the undying, unquestioning, mindless support of so many gullible drones like you is the REASON that atrocities such as the quagmire in Iraq are allowed to take place.

You like to endlessly pule about all the evil **people who are sympathetic to the "resistance"**..........as if they are somehow to blame for myriad horrors of Iraq....

...when the uncomfortable truth is that it is YOU and your kind, with your undying support for despicable, warmongering foreign policy decisions of the Bush Administration, who are responsible for the immense pain and suffering that was spawned by the ill-advised misadventure in Iraq.

It was bad to go into Iraq, but since we're there and I don't think any of us have the power to change that, how about a little support for the troops? Jeez. If I was in the Army I'd feel bad that half the country hates me...

nd talking about George bush when to the men in Iraq it isn't about George bush, its about the men you serve with and would die for. He likes to continue to say I am for george bush. I am not, I am for the soldiers in the field, andfor the CIC as their leader, I dont care if hillary gets in there, if she keeps the men in the field I would support her as thier commander,a s they are one in the same in wartime.

Half the country doesn't HATE you!!!!!!! They and the rest of the world feel fearful that you will have your guts blown out for some fool's convincing lies. They just want you to return home safely with your limbs still intact and your sanity solid.

gotoasdf,

That was a chickenshit, drive-by shooting of a posting.
If you were indeed an ex-Army Reservist, I suspect you weren't a very good one. In that case I salute you for your service, but say
:upyours:
for your cowardice for posting such a heartless and demoralizing thread.

You have shamed your brothers in arms, truly.
I hope you grow up someday soon.
You shame your parents, and you shame your home State with such a cocksucker-like betrayal to your fellow servicemembers.

Shame on you.

Yes, people die and get injured in war; it's nothing new. We don't need some lame, sarcastic photo-story to tell us that.

Excuse me DarkFantasy, but you seem to have slipped into the Twilight Zone.

WHAT on earth gives you the idea that ANYONE who is against the war ""hates the troops""...........?!?!?!?!?!?! With the possible exception of one person in a million, NO ONE, not even the most vociferous anti-war person in the U.S., is doing what they're doing out of any "hatred" for the men in uniform.

Can you name me one person that you know, or that you have seen, or that you have heard speaking on the television or radio, or that you have heard speaking in person, who has expressed the slightest bit of "hatred" for our troops.............?!?!

I don't think you can.

Wanting them to come HOME and live out the rest of their lives is --in my mind-- pretty much the opposite of 'hating' them.

Iraq is lost; it is over. Bring home the troops, try the village idiot from Crawford and his co-conspirators for war crimes and crimes against humanity, and let's move on with our lives.

ya, 500lbguerilla. see that didnt even take 5 seconds to come up with a name. give me 10 seconds and I can come up with more

It . If I was in the Army I'd feel bad that half the country hates me...
so if yu dont support BUSH'S war... ? you hate the soldiers...? some political speech writer coins some crap, and now its a law ????? thats like saying " if you are for abortion, you hate women, but if you're against abortion, you hate women ". .......yes, it's that stupid

Ralph Peters has written some excellent articles on how our soldiers are doing a great job in Iraq by are hamstrung by politicians here at home who refuse to believe that sometimes you've got to be harsh to win wars.

There was also an article in the New York Post by Jeane Kirkpatrick, who recently died, about how useless the U.N. really is when it comes to solving problems and how people in oppressed societies would rather have U.S. troops roll in than the U.N. Point being, if the U.S. soldier is ALLOWED to do his job, if he has the support and backing from back home, if there are enough troops on the ground a mission like Iraq can be accomplished, dammit.

It's not a question of whether or not Iraq is worth the life of America's troops, it's a question of whether or not it's a good idea to allow Iraq to fall into the hands of the Jihadists, you know they're going to brutally torture and kill ANYONE they deemed were helping U.S. efforts in Iraq. It's also a question of whether it's really worth sabotaging our mission in Iraq for political advantage (read Getting Bush). Dammit.

As for "hating" our troops. Right now it's not a politically correct or safe thing to do. After Vietnam, I believe America as a whole, really wanted to get away from this American Soldiers kill babies, rape women and do other attrocities thing. THAT sentiment is out there, John Kerry has said a few bad things in that regard and so have a couple of other democrats. IF it becomes popular to accuse our soldiers of the raping, pillaging, torturing, cutting off ears thing, you WILL hear it said. Right now, though, people aren't buying that line of trash so those sentiments are kept somewhat quiet, dammit.

And if the so-called "war" in Iraq had the slightest goddamned thing to do with protecting America or protecting the American people, Mr Peters might have a point.

But since the entire misadventure is a huge sham aimed at nothing except massive profits for various U.S. defense contractors and taking control of vast oil resources that do not belong to the US, there is no justification for a "war" that sends thousands of soldiers to their graves and that is draining billions upon billions of dollars from the pockets from the long-suffering U.S. taxpayers.

Hello people, I've been lurking on this forum the past week or so, just to see whats up. I saw this topic and felt the need to break in...

First of all I am active Army, currently stationed in South Korea. I have not been to Iraq, but I do feel 110% for all of my Battle Buddies in country. They are doing what they signed up for, and what they were trained to do, no matter what the people nor politicians are doing at home.

Was going to Iraq and Afgahnistan after 9/11 the right thing to do? I believe it was, what would our current situation be if we had not gone in? I bet we would have been attacked by now again, at least once. Sitting around trying to negotiate with Islamic exremeists will not work. Was there an alterior(sp?) motive? I wouldnt be surprised, but we needed to go after UBL in Afgahnistan, and we would have to of have taken care of Iraq somewhere down the line anyways.

Is keeping terrorists preocupied overseas worth 3000 (not sure of exact figures) American Soldiers deaths, and probably 15-20 thousand casualties?
You tell me, its either American Soldiers, or American civilians. One Soldiers life is too many, but they are dying to protect YOU an YOUR families, no matter what anyone says. So how about a little love? (Mainly directed to the guy who started this thread, the rest of you seem to not really be hating on us)

Anyways, Hi, and ill probably start posting on here regularly :)

Welcome to the forums from an old soldier. Post often, let us get to know you.

Welcome Phyrex from a female who won't squash a bug. :D

Was going to Iraq and Afgahnistan after 9/11 the right thing to do? I believe it was, what would our current situation be if we had not gone in?

There would be three major divergences;

one; we would likely be less threatened by future terrorist attacks.

two; we as a nation would have close to a trillion dollars more in the Treasury that we would not have thrown away on those two foreign disasters

three; there would be 2800+ more American soldiers and several hundred thousand more Iraqi citizens still alive

Hello people, I've been lurking on this forum the past week or so, just to see whats up. I saw this topic and felt the need to break in...Annyeong haseyo, soldier. Where in Korea are you? I'm stationed down in Area IV, near Daegu.

South Korea. Now theres a waste of US money.
Hi Jester, interesting storey with the fotos.

Annyeong haseyo, soldier. Where in Korea are you? I'm stationed down in Area IV, near Daegu.

Hey, hows it goin? Im up in good ol' Camp Humphreys.

South Korea. Now theres a waste of US money.
It will be a waste of money if North Korea successfully nukes South Korea.

Cant see that happening, ever. Even if it did, how would that effect you personally Evak.

Cant see that happening, ever.
Kym Jong Il is crazy enough to blow up Seoul; hell, he'd take out his own Pyongyang.

Kidding, I know Kym will come around eventually. There may be an armed conflict but not a nuclear one.
Even if it did, how would that effect you personally Evak.
What silly reasoning. South Korea is a great market on the rise, Japan has already proven its worth, we need to protect our interests and our allies.

Cmon Evak, answer the question, how would it effect you personally.

He didn't say it would.

Yea, thats y im asking him.

Cmon Evak, answer the question, how would it effect you personally.
That logic is not acceptable when you're a citizen of the global community. If you want to herd in Mongolia, or live in some podunk town in Manitoba, then fine. But, while North Korea's actions may not effect me directly, that doesn't mean they are of no consequence and that means I should care about what happens. It effects my country on the whole, and its allies.

Might tend to really play hell with getting those Hyundai and Kia warranty repairs done. Just think - no more Samsung or LG appliances?

Yea, another one of those countrys America pumps money into and gets nothing out of,great.

They buy lots of Boeings.

These days their the only ones haha.

Like we were before this nation began imposing santions on Muslim nations (whose oil they coveted) which resulted in over a million Muslims dying, more than 500,000 of them children.

Like we were before this nation began installing, with the aim of controlling oil resources there, unwanted military bases throughout the Middle East.

Like we were before this nation began dropping tens of thousands of bombs on Iraq.

Like we were before this nation began killing off Muslims by the hundreds of thousands.
