As a veteran this has to be one of the STUPEDIST threads I've ever read on this site.
RIJIMMY,American serviceman have been dying so that others can be free since before you or I were born.Its what Soldiers,Airmen,Marines and Seamen do.Unfortunately we have to defend the rights of religious fanatics like Terry Jones or the loathsome Westboro Baptist Church.
Bring the troops home.....to little to late for that mantra.We are now forced into finishing what has been started.Time to do things right.
Btw excellent thread title....."Our soldiers are dying".You get the Captain Obvious title for that!   |

Why...Because RIJ is frustrated and wants the troops to come home...I think its a pretty noble thought myself.

he's not arguing that fact....I'm pretty sure he firmly believes the latter part of that statement too.
His point is that we have soldiers dying to give those same rights to non-US citizens who do not want them or have any appreciation of them in the least.

Kinda wonder what percentage of U.S. citizens don't want / respect those rights. Terry Jones surely doesn't respect the troops. #*&@#( crackpot.
WRT ChessieBill's post, I'm wondering if maybe we'll reach the point that it isn't so bad to let them have nukes, wall 'em off, and let them glass each other.

exactly, we should we be fighting a war, protecting elections, ensuring democracy for these people -Afghans? I respect anyone who served, but that doesnt make you a history expert.
You do realize that our strongest allies are Germany and Japan and you do realize what happened 65 years ago?
Do you thing you can say the same for Afghanistan?
Basswhipe, I think you misunderstood my thread. "These people" in my post meant the Afghans, not Jones. |
