I don't believe that there is a person here who likes George Bush, but I also would have a hard time with someone trying to justify how Obama's foreign policy is much different.
These people that say to support the troops make me fucking laugh. They are the same people that vote for politicians like Obama and Romney. If they supported the troops they'd vote for someone that wants to bring them all home, not sit on some line for fifty years.
I'm glad I make you fucking laugh. Laughter is good for one's health. I voted for Obama. I'm disappointed in Obama in many ways. I don't think voting for someone who has no chance of getting elected (which I have done before) will help bring the troops home. I am against war. I am so very very very glad my nephew is home and alive after serving three tours in Iraq. I hope you and Mr. Smellyman are having a good fucking laugh.

when my best friend joined the army as an infantryman i made sure he knew that i considered him a mercenary joining a criminal organization and he understood exactly why i felt that way. Our relationship will never be the same, we both felt betrayed by each other. This guy is smart enough to know better, but just like ALL his army buddies (the ones smart enough to even question), the signing bonus and promises of lucrative contracts and high tech careers lured him into schlepping a rifle. I will always feel like harassing him unmercifully was the best thing I could do for him... I couldnt enable him, and I wont do it for any other soldiers either. A man has to find his own way in the world.

I don't have anything against US troops, but this "defending our freedom" bullshit really rubs me the wrong way for the most part. I mean, unless everyone means that the US troops are defending relative financial freedom, this statement is rarely even close to accurate. The troops are doing their jobs, which they signed up for, and I don't want any of them hurt or dead. And they should have good vet benefits. That's about all I think about them unless there are some pretty extraordinary circumstances to consider.

Umm, I can see how YOU betrayed HIM, but I fail to see how he betrayed you?
