No,"IS" is the operative word. He said on MTP that the ONLY reason he is dropping his vocal opposition to the upcoming war is that it is going to happen anyhow,and he doesn't want to send any mixed messages about his support for the troops. Not that any sane person who knows anything at all about the man would ever think any different.
The guidelines of this forum, are not evenly enforced, and I believe that you have been locked out without good cause, as well as without reasonable cause.
Like yourself, I am a veteran, but I am not a uniformed combat veteran; it was my fate by birth to have a ringside seat; something which almost all of this forum have not much interest to take into account, while considering your points.
I've attempted some observations, crudely at times, poorly written here and there (my apologies), that are purposely askew so as to deflect the curious, while still trying to help encourage further study.
I am no expert. I'm just a clerk; and I know what war is.
You have had a remarkable life, and it is a mistake for this forum to refuse your contributions. I wish to thank you for your wisdom, nevertheless.
Your concerns that we are rushing precipitously to occupy "Praque" are well founded.
Thank you.
Mike
