This bit bugged me somewhat:
I do think that it was a waste look at all the families and soldiers that have lost loved ones over something that the government cant even prove. maybe it was Iraq that started 9-11 but how can you prove that they werent working for some other country.
It's not that one can't disagree, especially since he served. It's just that his reasoning is a bit odd.
FWIW, troops and consensus don't really belong in the same sentence (just MHO).
