You appearently are unwilling to explain your comment.

I was pretty clear in explaining: Go find some OIF/OEF vets, get friendly, buy some drinks and see what they have to say.

And I've repeated that you to twice now.

The idea that vets are a monolithic one minded organism is absurd but you won't really know what they think until you talk to them first hand.

Rush calls those like you "Blockheads" because you get stuck on stupid, spring loaded in the dumb position and unable to do anything other than mentally masturbate to your own words.

No thanks. I enjoy challenging left-wing insinuations.

Geez, now we get into indirect name calling. Yes, you're trying to call me left wing because A) I defended a vet; B) assisted you in appearing anti vet and foolish; C) you look like an ass, know it, and resent me openly laughing at you over it.

FWIW, in my nearly 2 years on Iraq, and in the 3 years since returning I think I've seen enough and talked with enough vets to have a good idea of what this is about.

“I was pretty clear in explaining: Go find some OIF/OEF vets, get friendly, buy some drinks and see what they have to say. “

You still haven’t told me what vets ‘really’ think of the mission in Iraq. By using the term ‘really’, you implied that vets oppose the mission, painting all vets as opposing the mission in Iraq. If my interpretation of your post is wrong, then please explain what you meant when you stated “Maybe you should have a few drinks with some vets and see what they really think.”

“The idea that vets are a monolithic one minded organism is absurd”

Your senseless strawmen mean nothing to me. I’m interesting in hearing your explaination of the term ‘really’ from the original post.

“Rush calls those like you “Blockheads” because you get stuck on stupid, spring loaded in the dumb position and unable to do anything other than mentally masturbate to your own words.”

Your childish insults don’t mean anything to me. I’m only interested in political debate.

“FWIW, in my nearly 2 years on Iraq, and in the 3 years since returning I think I’ve seen enough and talked with enough vets to have a good idea of what this is about.”

You’ve given me no reason to beleive that any of your personal claims are creditable. All you’ve done was call be a ‘blockhead’ and acused me of masterbating. You have no credibility with me. Now you appear to claim that you ‘have a good idea of what this is about’. Care to elaborate on this statement? What is this about? What are you insinuating here? If a majority of vets oppose the mission in Iraq, as you once again appear to be insinuating, why are the re-enlistment rates up? <-——See, that is how I debate. A direct question to your insinuation. Are you willing to answer that question? Since this question has an a accurate pretext that destroys your arguement, I’m guessing no.
