I am no anti-war freak, but ya know what? If you arent going to fight a war to win WTF are we doing there?

Bring the men home. These rules are plain stupid.

War is where you kill the enemy until they quit, anything else is not a war it’s a political tool.

This is why this mom is telling her son to not go anywhere near a military career. Even Bush had strings attached to the fighting. As long as we wage war in the politically correct mode, kids’ lives will be in danger and sacrificed...
