You have repeatedly said you don't believe in the military - because killing is wrong.
Then you say the Military should be in Iraq.
If you are backing away or denying your claims.. fine.
How can someone not believe in the military? I said I do not believe in killing and I wondered why someone would join the military.
I never said the military is evil.
You should really slow down and take the time to read things a little. If you can suppress your bias and read what was said - instead of what you've already judged that it will say, you might find some of your views changing.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

Ok, lets go with exact.
You say you don't believe in killing for any reason
yet you believe the US Military should remain in Iraq to minimize killing.
Clearly you know that the US military determines who they should kill through political logic and then kills.
This is a contradiction
When you address the US military - you repeatedly imply that they are killers and killing is wrong. Yet, because somehow it suits you currently in Iraq - you support their continued killing.
This is not complicated. It is a contradiction. I believe you should rethink your position - or at least give the US military men and women a little respect and appreciation and stop implying they are immoral misguided killers.

What I wish you should do is stop saying that I do not give them respect and putting other words in my mouth that I did not say.
Let's forget about the Iraq war for a second. Let's say the military is called in to place sandbags in order to save a town from flooding. Well then I wholeheartedly support and respect that. Or let's say that their mission is to capture or arrest some terrorists that are repeatedly bombing someone. I could support and respect that as well.
I respect a lot of what they do. I just believe that killing is wrong. Clearly, someone in the military does not kill people continuously 24/7, therefore I have no problem with the rest of the way their time is spent.
If the mission from now forward is not to be actively seeking out and killing people, but rather to protect tons of people from being indiscriminantly bombed, then I can support much of that.
And yes - I do not deny that my view may be somewhat contradictory or hypocritical.

Iraq was a huge fuck up, HUGE, and its UNDERSTOOD. But if we did pull out, Iran would most likely move on (more than they already have) Take control of the entire middle eastern oil supply and eventually buy North Korea's Nuclear Weapon support (And trust me, we all know Iran is going for Nukes to blow up Israel, they are not going for Nuclear Power..) If this happens, it will result in the innocent slaughter of Millions of people (Similar to what happened to Cambodians after we pulled out of Vietnam)
And Really, the only problem in Iraq is Baghdad, and its a big big problem. But if Bush happens to get that stabilized (Uhh....) Things might shift in a different direction.
All im saying is, if we "Cut and Run" very bad things will happen, VERY bad things will happen. Iran wants to destroy western civilization (That means me and YOU) and, i guess, control the world. Sort of like Pinky and the Brain.
I just dont understand how people can thing things will be fine and dandy if we cut and run.
Bush says: If you don't like something....beat it, bomb it, and bash it all to hell until it bleeds money.
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
