That is the way of being in the military. I also think that civilians like me, although under no such mandate, shouldn't be yapping to the press with derogatory comments about the war either - at least not while working here in Iraq.
Someone claiming to be a veteran of the Iraq war, who is not, should be subjected to a severe beating. | SCREW THAT!!!! If they make claims that are not true, and were never soldiers themselves, then they should be charged with treason and face the sentence that is laid out in the Constitution. Which if I remember correctly is death. Let 'em HANG!!!!!
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
