Not if you support the wars it doesn't.

If you don't support continuing the wars, consequences be damned, then you have every right to complain.

In war, people die, it is that simple.

Its a hard truth, but a truth none the less.

It's foolish that military age Muslims are pouring into the USA and the west, while we're fighting their battles for them. Nation building will not work. Just contain the Muslims in their Islamic paradises and let them figure it all out.

This is a pretty pathetic thread....

left or right, I really do not care....

I knew some of those people on that Aircraft, even trained a few....

So how about not arguing over left or right....or who is worse.....

Americans died.....

But blaming people for those deaths, while supporting the war they are in is being hypocritical.

War is hell, people die, thats reality. If you don't want any soldier to die in war, don't go to war.

No one prays for peace more then soldiers. I know, while not on the front line, I served also.

Guess who would be hitting the airwaves to condemn Obama for bugging out of a fight, letting the terrorists or Islamofascists win , disrespecting all who shed their blood for freedom etc etc. if the President terminated our Wars of Choice?

It would be the little fat man from Cape Girardeau, Mo, Sean the Man and Mark Levine! All men who know something about shirking from a fight when they had their chance to serve!

We should pull the troops home. Continue to monitor and bomb with drones and send an occasional seal team in to eliminate high ranking targets.

Not Soldiers...

20 of them were Navy Seals and part of the same Unit that killed Bin Laden...

Interesting no?

when do we stop?

our credit rating is shot, our people are dying, other people are dying, our debt load is rising, and most americans oppose the war.

when will this president listen to us?
Why didn't America rise up as one and oppose the unnecessary invasion in the first place? By allowing Bush to get into a vanity war because he wanted to be a "war president" (read: war profiteer) we have brought our economic misery down on our own heads.

For what is spent on war in a week we could feed all of America's hungry for a year. For what has been spent in a decade we could pay for full Universal Health Care and college educations for the youth of America and have money in the bank.

Instead we chose to go to war. Have we won enough glory yet? It's just another 31 husbands, fathers, and sons dead for no reason. So what?

May Bush and Cheney Rot In Hell between Judas and Pilate.
