Ok can we get off the subject of soldiers, please. The general idea of someone enlisting is to defend the rights of Americans. We've already established that there were ulterior motives for Iraq. Afghanistan, yes it was retaliation for 9/11. Iraq, even though I agreed with taking Saddam out of power because he was a terrorist to his own people and I STRONGLY believe he helped finance Bin Laden and his group, there is no physical evidence he had anything to do with it, so it's just a belief.
The direction this is going is getting out of hand. I will say it again, for the sake of those of us who have served, and those who are still serving, please let this subject drop. There is no relevance to the topic anymore.
Mikebones, I understand how you feel, believe me, I served 2 times in Iraq, but there is no relevance to the topic by arguing over it. People have the right to their own opinions on the subject, but to argue with them over their opinions is not going to get anywhere. If you can provide facts and links to where people can find them fine, but do it through private messages. Not in the forum.
As for the Patriot Act. I think they went too far with that one. Yes I agree, find terrorist cells inside the US is a good thing, but to give the Government the right to tap anyone and everyone is wrong. That is too much power and it will be abused.
Please let this subject go.
Thank you.
