Could you explain to me how it makes a person a coward to not want to send young men and women off to a war to be possibly killed?

He is a coward because he is afraid to stand up against the people who want to kill us.

***He is a coward because he is afraid to stand up against the people who want to kill us.****

You painted everyone who was against the war as cowards. It never takes a lot of courage to send other people off to war.

” A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.” Now that was a cowardly leader.

The vast majority of people for and against the war have no personal peril, so it is not a matter of personal courage. It is a matter of ideals. You can only judge personnal courage or cowardliness when that person, or his loved ones, are at risk.

War is hell. Most of the Nam veterans will only talk about that war, except in very general terms, with other people who served in Nam. And combat veterans don’t like to talk to the people who served there in some what cushy base jobs away from the action.

Of course you didn’t respond to my statement that the anti war people are more courageous than the pro war people because we are more willing to take risks to protect our liberties. But that was to be expected.

I say he is a coward because he is bound and determined to surrender to America's enemies, no matter who they are.
