At least you did your part by NOT supporting them....

Or just vote for the best bad candidate and keep the same old crap going.

The POTUS is a bought position,that should be painfully obvious to everyone except the party hacks....of which there are millions.

No it is called having no principles...

Your type goes on and on about the needless wars blah blah blah until it is your little guy sitting there having people killed....then it is okay,he is afterall YOUR team leader.

Rah rah,go team,who care if we have no morals or principles,all that matters is winning.

I place a high regard on the lives of our servicemen and women, more so than on those that have choosen a brainwashed culture.
I place a high regard on my fellow brothers and sisters in the service as well. I don't want to see any of them killed nor do I want to be killed myself. However, at the same time, I disagree that we don't have any responsibility. I don't think we need to be world saviors, however just ignoring the problems are also what can allow horrific things like 9/11 to occur. These innocent kids are getting brainwashed to hate us with such a passion that they grow up wanting to join things like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and become our future suicide bombers ready and eager to take out those Americans they were taught were evil. In some cases, they don't even need to be grown up yet for the Taliban and Al-Qaeda to use them as killers. It's a double edged sword IMO.

9 U.S. troops killed, so what. Americans no longer care how many troops are killed in these unnecessary wars.

Your broad brush is not appreciated. More care than you know.

Thankfully this is all ending soon. Whether it comes in the form of a draft or a war tax, the separation between the home front and the war front will evaporate.
