Get out of this country. | I will gladly get out of this country.
The way we should support our troops is to encourage them not to fight in a unjust war. The war is one big lie (or many big lies really). If you don't understand that "Get out of this country" as you so elegantly stated. |

I think the military pays them to fight not think.
It is sad that America doesn't take care of its own to the extent that a lot of people have little other choice but to join the military. |

Yes or no? | It isn't a yes or no answer. I think they are told what to believe. Just as the American public is told what to believe from our centralized media system.
Thank god alternate sources of information can be accessed from Europe for example. It paints a much different picture of our foreign policy. The downside however is that pretty much any ideology can be reinforced on the internet.
So then they use the centralized media system to pin left versus right. They just keep giving us the ol' left right (pun intended). Both sides think they are right and are actually opposing sides. Power remains centralized and they can get American people to support anything as long as they tell a good story. Like you aren't safe! Code RED!! Get under your desk!!! WMD's! Connection to 9/11.
This is the bullshit you are defending. Be my guest if you want to look the fool. |

However, they do not have to believe or be forced to believe in what they were told. Some people believe in UFO's...but you don't have to believe in that. Understand?
When you said, "They are told what to believe". I just think you are horribly wrong...
Alright...I'll give it to you your way.
Now if they were just told about the mission, how would they feel about the the mission and results overall in Iraq? Do you think they agree with Bush? |

I honestly think Kerry would have made a better commander and chief and im sure our military believes that too.
It's my birthday today  I know thats off topic but so is your debating here! Moore attacks Dems...now its about the war in Iraq. Everybody has gotta start making new topics instead of changing topics around.

Oh..Happy bday man! | Why is that surprising? If you are dumb enough to join the military when everyone knows what our foreign policy is like, why wouldn't they be dumb enough to vote for Bush? And you better believe that our fighting force DOES have an average IQ lower than the general public. |
