I thank you for admitting the soldiers went into a made up WAR with out proper training, as my retired Major friend told me…..so we all agree !

I have a problem with you saying folks don’t want to help themselves. There are allot of folks who have not gotten the breaks in life that I have or you have. I had two parents that cared, showed love, and taught right from wrong.

When I screw up, I have to look in the mirror and find the person who is at fault. I then have to deal with the mess I made, and learn to live with it, and correct the problems.

For you to say we are just giving stuff away to the less fotunate, well that is not so big of an issue to me, I have empathy. I wonder why the Bush administration cut off funding to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, and to the after school programs for city kids.

I believe that was a very bad idea………young kids in the inner city need help and guidance period !

Also the lie of No kid left behind was just that…..Military spending went up tremendously, while education spending has not come close to going up in the same fashion. Education has been failing in this country for a long time, and it is even worse down here in the south.

But reading what you write, it has me thinking you are OK with the millions given to defense contractors via cost Plus contracts, and no bid contracts.

As I see it that was part of the Made up WAR…….Cheney creating contracts in his office for Halliburton and the rest to sign, thus BILKING AMERICA !

The Most difficult thing I have ever done is run my own business for 23 years now, and keeping it afloat in the good times, and the bad.

I have zero idea about what you did in the military, so I have no say as to what you did, or didn’t do, or your your credentials period. I have no doubt you were an excellent soldier, why would I think other wise ?

I do love my country that has given me the opportunity to be my own boss…..so I stay in the loop, watch what is happening, and CERTAINLY do NOT drink the Kool-Aid from the Right who cares little about American’s in general, and are sick with Greed and Power !

The problem as I see it you care more about a few, that the whole…….You make assumptions about people in general, thus you show why in general the Right is very prejudice, and all about ME !

Gandhi freed his people, and he never fired a shot…..I do understand having a strong military is NOT an option…….but to use it for the benefit of a few, well that is where we disagree !

There you go again. First, the reserves where trained, to the level of active duty, maybe not. That is not what is expected of them. Are you prepared to pay for a vastly expanded active duty force? Didn’t think so, you would rather spend it on social programs for those who are unwilling to help themself. After we must ensure equal outcomes for everyone, not equal opportunity for everyone.

I’ll be happy to share with you my credentials for military operations at the tactical and operational level of war if you will share yours with me. You have a hell of a nerve to be critical of my handling of soldiers and their care and welfare. The most difficult thing you have ever done is push yourself off a couch and away from the TV. Take my suggestion and do something for your country you love to hate so much.

I do appreciate you seeing the humor in this conversation. If soldiers lives weren’t such serious business it would be funny. Sadly you drink the liberal koolaide and look at what you have become, Sad, angry and hatefilled. I feel sorry for you Peter.

“No I don’t think we went into Iraq the second time to free a country, but that was an added benefit. I guess if every major country in the world thinks the same thing, Iraq had WMD’s, just like the U.S. intel community believed, then only we had faulty intel. Get a grip.”

You mean believe a LIE !

HA HA HA………… “Any soldier that has a problem with the Guard and Reserves going to war when the nation needs them doesn’t make sense. That is their primary purpose.”

OK….. train them first and of course armor them correctly……..Which of course we never did !

Gotta Love this statement……… “The Hum-V was never designed to do what we were using it for and and of course there were problems, that is called the “fog of war”.”

Yep send them in and not give a crap for their safety !

You really are not caring about individuals as a rule are you ! Screw them, they joined, who cares if they get massacred…… You are a funny guy !

Hell every Republican should have stood up and applauded.

By the way, when is TOTUS going to actually give a SPEECH instead of all this campaign-esque crap he’s been dishing out since January 21? How long are these people going to continue whining about Bush/Cheney/Palin/Rush?

That Stimulus Bill had to be rushed through to prevent jobs from being lost and to stop unemployment from rising. Since that passage, unemployment is teetering on 10%, well over the 8% the Bidencrats said it would stop. Since that passage, over 9,000,000 jobs have been LOST – note TOTUS’s comment that 700,000 jobs were “saved” last night – and they can never back that comment up with facts.

Now the Idiocrats are saying the “miscalclulated.” Do you want these incompetents running health care? How’d you like it if they “miscalculated” the amount you’d have to pay – or if your care had to be rationed because of a “miscalculation?” By the way, what’s the Idiocrat stance on single payer option this week? I haven’t heard the latest flip flop.

And now these bedwetters are looking into forcing people to pay fines for not having health care coverage. What, are they going to throw you in JAIL or something if you don’t pay? Is this the kind of nation you want to live in?

“WASHINGTON – Americans would be fined up to $3,800 for failing to buy health insurance under a plan that circulated in Congress on Tuesday as divisions among Democrats undercut President Barack Obama’s effort to regain traction on his health care overhaul.”

Finally, how come the liberal Idiocrats are bragging that they can pay for everything by cutting spending? Why not do that from the BEGINNING??? And if I hear one more “95%” number from the Idiocrat Party, I’m going to scream.

Every war America has ever fought is a “come as you are” war. We fielded the most advanced military fighting force the world has ever seen and our leadership has failed us somehow? Come on that is silly. The Hum-V was never designed to do what we were using it for and and of course there were problems, that is called the “fog of war”. In the first Gulf War my Mech Inf Bde was the only one there that still had the Vietnam era M113 PC. The rest had new Bradley’s. We didn’t whine about it, we just kicked the crap out of them with what we had.

Speaking of knowing history, do you know how Iraq was formed? By the Brits when they ruled the middle east. It incorporated areas that were obviously in historical conflict with each other.

No I don’t think we went into Iraq the second time to free a country, but that was an added benefit. I guess if every major country in the world thinks the same thing, Iraq had WMD’s, just like the U.S. intel community believed, then only we had faulty intel. Get a grip.

Don’t know your age, but if you are under 40 I suggest you enlist in the Army. You need some serious physical activity to get all the anger out of your system.
