Technically the Gulf War has never ended. That's the point.
As I was ETS'ing the VA Rep asked me if I was a Gulf War veteran post 1990. I replied that I wasn't, but was in OIF. The VA rep said that if you served in the AOR from August 1990 to present you were a veteran in the same war.
Remember the no-fly zones? Khobar Towers? Desert Fox? All that stuff was and is the same war that is going on today. Technically the Gulf War never ended, just like Korea is still technically a war.
Get 'em out, get 'em home. And if you think I'm a troll,
f--- you. I voted twice for Bush and would never in hell vote for a Masshole Flatlander like Kerry!
I remember. If we had actually completed the task the first time, there would have been no need for any of that crap. The first war, although it would have taken much longer, would actually be over, and we wouldn't be there now.
That's the point.
We'll leave when it's stable. Anything short of that is going to cost many more lives than are currently being spent.
Get 'em out, get 'em home
And turn it into an Iranian-allied Caliphilate run by head-choppers like Zarkie? (which we would need even MORE forces to contain, let alone fight!)
Why are we still in Germany? Japan? S Korea?
Nice sentiment. So because you are emotionally drained, you want them home? We all do...when the mission is done. So we've been there a year. Chris' sakes, how many did the U.S. lose in the first day at Normandy? At Iwo Jima? 3 days at Gettysburg?
Perspective, man, perspective.
I voted for Bush because he was the right choice over that empty suit Kerry, now if he doesn't come correct and straighten up and fly right he needs to be impeached for failing to uphold the constitution especially the little part in Article IV about defending the country against foreign invasion.
I'm with you. Listen to the venom these people are spewing. You must have touched a nerve.
