War is hell and appeasement is the slippery path that takes you to the gates.

Hey, if you're so fired up about this war, take off your lab coat and march on down to the local recruiter's office and take the oath. My old-22-years-in-service butt is getting exceedingly tired of listening to folks who talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

War and combat is not something to just "deal with". (And, yeah, I'm willing to take some flames over this).

...Bring DEMOCRACY to all the nations of the Middle East no matter what...

...as the Best way to protect US from Terrorist Attacks in the Future =

..Power to the Common Man everywhere is EVERYONE's answer.

Oh, I wouldn't worry too much. Our military and admistration now have to use propaganda with our weak-kneed populace that they did not have to use in WWII.

They will do the job as necessary, never fear.

Targeting civilians is what terrorists do.

And, just so you know, the attack on the United states occured on Sept. 11, 2001....not 2002.

1)If they won't take Bruce Willis they won't take me. Too old by 20 years.

2) I'm better use with my lab coat on by researching ways to treat and heal our wounded.

3) I enlisted in the Navy in 1982 and went OCS

4) My opinions are not subservient to to my abilities

5) Eat me!

It is one of my basic beliefs that there are no innocent civilians. That has been true for at least half a century (and probably longer). Just who the hell does everyone think our nuclear weapons were aimed at? Does anyone think that any of our potential enemies care one hoot in hell about our civilians?

In order to win a war, you have to destroy the enemy's will to wage war. If it means causing civilian casualties, so be it.

BTW I can't play football, hockey or pro baseball, yet I demand that the Phildelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl, the Flyers win the Stanley Cup, and most of all the Phillies win the World Series.

Plus I'm a Republican. I want an end to high taxes, abortion, and Hillary Clinton and Ted Kenney's presence on the Senate floor...NOW!

I know that. War is immoral. Something to be avoided. But onced engaged you must win at all costs. There is no morality in war, only victory.
