You are right. I do know little of you or your friends. I only know you by the contents of your post, and, I standby what I have said. When one uses the death of American soldiers to trumpet their cause, I have little tolerance for them, be that a pro or anti war theme.
Those that serve do so for diverse reasons, as my son does. I know what he thinks about this war. I also know that should he die, the last thing he would want is the news of his death spread all over bulletin boards to expound a cause he did not believe in.
So if you have a son in the military, and god forbid he should suffer, then most certainly you will have earned the right to use his death to further your cause. However, until that point, if you choose to troll for comments using the death of American soldiers, as Wags does, then I will look for you and your friends down by the pond.
Then I guess you need to write a nice letter to Old George W and Dick Cheney to tell them to quit using the death of American soldiers to further their poitical agenda and to justify the continuing of the Iraq War.
If one has to have a son or a daughter in the military in order to earn the right to further their cause then again you need to write to Old George W and Dick Cheney because neither one of them have their daughters serving in the military.
And if one has to have served in the military in order to express an opinion or a viewpoint then once again you need to write to Old George W and Dick Cheney because one got his daddy (41)to pull some strings to get him out of going to fight in Vietnam and the other got multiple
de·fer·ments.
Rustic, just like in the case of Newguy, you do not know me and with that being said you need to get off your high horse. The last time I checked we all have a right to express our opinions and our viewpoints. It is not a right that has to be earned or a right that you or anybody can grant us.
My dear lady do not get your panties in a twist over it.
GOD BLESS US ALL
