    If he does have a cool head, he should show more of it....he wants to wage war if it means 100 or even 1000 more years of fighting.

    Sounds really cool headed to me.
    let me guess, you got that from you tube. listen to the whole clip and what he was talking about is that just like we are in Korea and other places still after the war the odds are we are going to be in Iraq for a long time too.

    The question is definitely relevant if it makes him a prime candidate for emotional issues.

    Looking at how he's running...he still thinks he in the war to fight "the gooks" so to speak.

    I'd say he's been affected. He has an axe to grind....probably still has nightmares about it also.

    wow i didn't know that you read minds too.

    He loves him some war...

    uhhh every time he opens his mouth for starters.

    He's Mr 1000 more years of war...fight forever if necessary.

    do the math.

    which if you read anything about th econtext of that statement instead of just watching the 10 second viewing on YOuTube, you would understand what he really said.

    You can't argue with Roland... he obviously knows more than any of us here, and as a anonymous rock band message board poster, he knows more about foreign policy and how the world works than any other world leader or great thinker of our time....

    i know he had most of his teeth broken out and was tortured pretty much daily for most of the time. it also explained how the guards tried to get prisoners to turn on each other and one guard was a real bastard in particular. He could have gotten released earlier but refused offers to be taken before a few others. his hair turned white. tough mother fucker. thats all i know.

    well, clearly his arms were affected. he carries them in a way that suggests they were broken or otherwise traumatized.

    i think he is a tough mf-er, too, which is one reason why i wouldn't weep if he won the presidency, tho i'm a democrat. at least if this guy sent us into war, he'd have a fucking clue what was in store for our troops. unlike dubya, who apparently gets all his info from hogan's heroes reruns.

    I think the initial poster had a valid question. Considering a good percentage of our vets are coming back from Iraq too fucked in the head to hold a steady job it seems, being held as a POW and tortured for years seems to be a bit more stressful. I don't consider this smearing, not in this context. Should that not be taken into consideration?
