    Yes...your post makes me feel patriotic. I have not commented for a verry long time. With that said my husband served in Iraq and came home last March. He is a much different person now. A stranger To be honest - My husband and I parted ways in our politics for many years....and some days I feel caught in the middle. I am definitely more conservative now. And - I will support our military - and absolutely have nothing to say to anyone who doesn't. Don't attack me - I am just putting my own opinion out there. No one cares about my opinion anyway. Thanks and take care. And BTW - my husband and I still adore Pearl Jam! "Just Breathe" makes me cry - so it's hard to listen to. Okay - I'm done now.

    My intention wasn't to make fun or anything negative against our troops, all my respects to our men and women in uniform, I'm proud of them and i will support them, but their leaders are their causes are another story...

    I don't know how this website works anymore. I hope I'm not posting this twice. If I am I apologize. I don't think anyone should apologize for their beliefs....so don't. I really like honest people. I am honest, too. At least we will know where each other stands. Being truthful is always a good place to be.

    I think you are intentionally trying to stir up some conflict. Good for you! It makes life more interesting. I'm out though.

    I think everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just can't help myself.....I must ask....have you served your country? If so - in what way? Why don't you answer THAT question. I guess your "user name" "COMMY" says it all. Move to Russia or China or North Korea for a few months - Commy - and then we'll talk. Until then you really don't have anything of substance to contribute. You are ALL talk without substance. People like you make my skin crawl. Believe me - you don't want to play in MY sandbox!

    Are you living off of the governement? If so - you give welfare recipients a bad name. Move to a Communistic Country - Commy - and truly live what you apparently believe. I think this would be a life altering experience for you. The U.S. is not a Communist Country - and I don't care for those who think it should be. Come out to play......don't be shy.

    i would bet everything i own that washington will have bombed some country, or full scale invaded them within 10 years. its the pattern. and people profit, the fucking miserable scum of the earth, selling weapons and benefitting from war, they make out like kings. and we will be right here as citizens letting another bush type sell us a war with his lies. and most of you will eat it up, like you have every other fucked up reason given to invade some third world country. and it will happen again. and thousands of precious lives will have been brutally ended, for some fucking lie told us by washington or your favorite talking head. people we know are sent off to fight the thing, and its as bad a travesty. trops sent to fight for haliburton and lockeed and the guys that sell body armo and hukmvees and milssiles and bombs and grenades.


    those guys fucking thrive on mass murder, the same cheneys and fuckoffs that are involved in the industry are sometimes involved in washington. war is the game, while the innocnet are slaughtered and we all lose our humanity a bullet at a time.



    it needs to end. we as americans are reseponsible for ending this war before it starts;/.






    fuck war. fuck those that participate in war. fuck those that order it to happen. fuck those that let it happen through misleading journaliasm. fuck everyone involved in it.

    i'm not the police and i never said i was perfect.

    i just pointed out the hypocrisy in your posts. you come around every few months and your first post is usually sugar and spice and all things nice and then you go nuts at anyone who has a different opinion to yours.

    at least you're consistant with your posting pattern i guess.

    have a nice evening.

    it amuses when people go that route as if they know who it is theyre dealing with. supposition is a wonderful thing when it hides behind anonymity.

    I know, I know, is sad and the worst part is that I'm a foreigner living here in the USA, maybe I watched to many GIJOE's cartoons as a kid, and i grew up believing that the USA soldiers were the good guys.

    an old friend of mine once said "americans invented patriotism, and size XXXXL shorts".... gotta love the "go live someplace else" line...i figured you would add another 6 or 7 posts before you played that trump card though......

    Its interesting to me that someone can live thru a loved one being overseas...be able to acknowledge that the loved one is a changed person, a stranger (an inference of relationship damage).....have 6-7 years to realize , along with millions of others, that the wars are, at best, not in our best interests, or at worst, blatantly criminal...yet they cling so fiercely to this notion of patriotic righteousness...Is this a defense mechanism? A means to justify the pain you've been thru?
    I think your anger should be directed at those who took you to war, not those crticizing them, nor the people your country is attacking.

    nothing makes me feel patriotic. i have high expectations of my country and my government to always do the right thing and to treat other nations with the dignity and respect that they deserve and we rarely do that these days. there is nothing that will ever make me believe in the school of thought of "america uber alles"....
