By the way, Cruz's people the Canadians, just let 125, 000 refugees in. Or should I say, just let America's next wave of terrorist in the back door.

But, on the bright side, women will get to put their 50's panties back on.

I think my head will do a complete 360 if Cruz get's in office.

I tell folks I meet all the time - You want to visit Syria......you want to go back to Iraq or maybe Libya..... Or maybe these shills running the government can convince you into fighting the Russians?

My advice to anyone unsure or even the pro-war/pro-introventionism folks here on ÇD : Find a way to visit a place like Walter Reed or the Naval Hospital in Bethesda. Volunteer some time there.....you'll be shocked/horrified by the evils of war.

Back in 2007 I had surgey at the VA in Portland, Oregon to repair a rotator cuff from a weight-lifting injury. I had never been there before....or to any VA hospital.

Just one day there and I was stunned...I had never seen so many people with missing limbs!! And multiple missing limbs!! A huge number of folks there also had service anamils too! I wondered if a specialty school for blind people was much different...

And the PTSD might have been the worst of all. I watched guys explode and completely go nuts and melt down from standing in a line for 8 to 10 minutes. The VA police came running in on multiple occasions...

Lots of folks out there with with fake PTSD looking for an easy government check - But once you're confronted by those who have truly been traumatised by war and have real and advanced cases of PTSD, it will leave a mark on your core.

There is nothing Trump, Clinton, Obama, McCain, Feinstein, McConnell, Cruz, Kerry, etc,etc, could ever do or say that would make me believe we need to fight the Russians. And if they can convince any of you - you're just a pure sucker.

My son served 6 years in the marines based in Pensacola. He did volunteer at the facilities there and was appalled at the care returning vets were given. One of the reasons he did not reenlist when his term was up.

There should be no more talk of war until we give our already wounded warriors the care they need. Disgraceful, when we send them into often impossible situations over and over again, that they be treated like 3rd class citizens when they need our help...

Livejack :

As a former 6 year Marine myself, I pray many a day that our service members will one day rise up and en masse commit mutiny on this crapy group of people running the country.

Basically it adds up to a potential POTUS who is uneducated and impulsive and together that spells disaster!
"Ranting". We don't rant about "killing the gays", draining the public education system of funds by giving out vouchers going to religious institutions, want to see Canada, Mexico and the US become one government.

Yes, Cruz supports globalism, one world government. His only concern is setting up the country or the world for the "second coming of Christ" where he will be one of the "anointed" ones.

He has no chance. There are not enough people that believe we should return the laws of the Old Testament. You are supporting a candidate that wants to destroy our country on purpose. He cares nothing about our country simply taking his place as the world leader and waiting for the Second Coming of Christ. He is delusional.

National security is nothing that Cruz has any interest in.

It is sad that Cruz has brought so much disgrace to the Christian faith during his campaign. Holding the Bible while cheating and lying does not negate the sins.

As I said before "you will know a man by his fruits": https://www.biblegateway.com/passage...20&version=KJV By supporting Cruz, one supports the sins he is using trying to steal a nomination.

Your opinion is just that. One cat, one dog. Hate wind chimes. Hate wind.

When Sleazy Don and his acolytes stop referring to Ted Cruz as "lyin' Ted," I will stop referring to Trump as Sleazy Don.

Until then, your opinion is duly noted and appropriate concern about it has been rendered.

Have a nice day!

Again, not saying Geneva convention is the "problem" it is not.

The battle of Ganjgal in Afghanistan’s Kunar province proved to be historic. An Army captain and a Marine earned Medals of Honor for their efforts in the 10-hour firefight.

One of the recipient said

“I am not a politician. I am just the guy on the ground asking for that ammunition to be dropped because it’s going to save lives.”

Radical change of rules of engagement in battle field is a proven disaster.

Spike in battlefield deaths linked to restrictive rules of engagement - Washington Times


anyway, how about just say no to wars? So nobody needs to talk tough.
THIS is the problem with Sleazy Don's lack of understanding about war. You are exactly correct. The Rules of Engagement are the problem that needs to be addressed, NOT the Geneva Conventions. GC is in place to PROTECT soldiers and POWs. Anyone who seeks the job of CIC should understand something THAT basic.

No wars would be wonderful, but given world history, no bloody likely in this lifetime.

Will you spew pea soup as well?

You may not realize how ridiculous that statement is in light of the brilliant Heidi Cruz, but many others do.

Threats of Cruz taking women back to the "barefoot and pregnant days" is nothing but attempted fear mongering and hyperbole meant to hook the low information voter that votes based on emotion because of lack of intellect.

Nice try but no cigar. Women are not as stupid as you seem to think we are.
