I start training for Iraq

This

I really dont see how this is about ourselves. For me it is about thousands of people ive never even met and who dont know my languages thousands of miles away

I dont see what you mean

I dont give a monkeys ass what people think of my tiny ego when it comes to such a serious subject whichcould be devastating to so many lives

 

This is a terrible thread with a lack of love and understanding. This is exactly why I'm offended if someone calls me a hippie. Lots of you guys are just as ignorant as every other group on this earth you blame everything on. Instead of wishing him not to go or good luck, and hope he will make some progress in rebuilding the land you're preaching hate and wish him to suffer. You people are so sad.
Of course the original poster was quite off to say it's all in good fun. I bet he did that to provoke and laugh at your reactions after that. Pretty lame indeed, but some of you are taking these kind of lines way to seriously.

Killing people is indeed not in good fun and it's never justified, so the terrorists or whatever you want to call them aren't in their right at all. It also means the west shouldn't try to fight fire with fire and that you seem quite stupid of wishin him to get shot or die. What makes you even more stupid is the fact that you seem to think of Iraq as one country in which all people want the same thing.

There are actually lots of people who want to rebuilt and defend their land against al-quaida. Also among the western people who are there as a soldier or in another function. You and I may not like this way of handling this war, but fact is there are alot of soldiers there not for murdering and exploitation but for protection and rebuildinggoals. I fully understand why you don't call yourself a hippie though, although you seem to have a lot in common with them at times (just as me ).. Sometimes it's just so easy to generalize.

I wish the Chuckmeister lots of good luck and sincerely hope he won't need to kill anybody and that he can add something to the reconstruction of Irak.

P.S. That tankpic in your sig is badass, haha! Peace and love

 

You cannot NOT take war seriously. Childrens limbs are blown apart. Babies, mothers, young men die. Every single life is precious, as you know...i like your post generally and you sound intelligent. But you cant really say anyone overreacted when what were talking about is going into Iraq loaded with weaponry, when past events have shown this creates mass murder, torture, sometimes chaos and of course those infamous images of the children

That says a lot

I wont deny these soldiers exist, of course they do. I know there must be a scattering of decent people out there believing theyre doing whats right. It is however my opinion hat these are misguided men, and if they arent corupted by the things they see in Iraq theyre sure to be when they discover that actually their whole mission was a lie and all that has been created is those dead children and other innocent people

See, theres always that little inkling of boyish "Yeah, man, a tank, a gun, kickass!"ness there...and thats what worries me. In many solider, is it way out of hand and they lose sight of the reality. Which is what everyones reminders were about, when this guy said it was all just fun. See

But really, no amount of seriousness could cover this thing. There is no laughing when it comes to babies losing limbs or lives and seeing things theyll never forget. That will never change, no matter how cool pics with tanks may look

 

Please come back alive Chuck. I don't support the war and i have trouble understanding why people would volunteer to go fight in Irak but you are entitled to make your own decisions ...

And to the guy who says everybody should get shot, this is ot a very hippie attitude you know

 

Seems like that guy doesn't want to be called a hippie neither

Well, I was talking about his post. I can see an expression like that as funny and still doesn't agree with what it actually literally can mean. I also can seperate the urge to kill from an impressive picture of a rather peaceful guy in a massive warmachine.
I do have to agree men always will have that boyish thing. I wouldn't worry about that, most of the time it doesn't get way out of hand. Unfortunately being in the army most likely will help you lose sight on reality.. I agree.

 

Cool sig pic...do i remember you from when you were about 14 or something, or am i mixed up?

 

It gave other people cause to whine about his decision... as well as set the stage for self righteous attacks. I think some folks overestimate how much weight other people put in their opinions.

I'm left to wonder about the motivation for making such a post in these forums where the general consensus is antiwar. Perhaps he wants to account for an expected absence. Perhaps the OP has a thirst for conflict which is quenched partially by baiting a self-described passive population with a tidbit calculated to stir the cauldron. If that's the case, "mission accomplished".

 

Because bringing someone's kids into an argument never made anything personal

 

EDIT:Oh my mistake, it wasnt you i asked
But above i did explain why i dont think anyone here was being "self-righteous"
Except maybe the guy who said he hoped hed get shot
Thats so out of line

 

That would be why i said "was"
Although i dont really see what i said as highly personal anyway. I just picked up on a strange little contrast of interest and was curious
I also spoke about the kids of Iraq but that wasnt personal to anyone
Kids are kids and i was pickin up on something
But i said "was" because i knew it could be perceived differently

 

I hope every pet you have or ever will have gets shot.

 

It's possible, i've been here for way too long

You're from France right ?

 

I personally hope that they get eaten by zombies.

But each to their own.

 

Because he has a mind of his own and thinks differently than you? Never....:hysterica

How was that comment odd? My daughter will remain beautiful no matter what I love or don't love....right? My daughter will remain the center of my world no matter how sexy that tank is, right? Condoning murder is now expressed in "I love that tank"? Mk. Please, take me back through the steps of how you came to THAT conclusion.
Idiot.

 

hahaha

 

Ok, well its midnight here and i dont have time to reply to that post fully but i will in the morning
What ill say for now is
Jeez, deal with your anger/mood problems, and stop snapping out at strangers like that! I gave my thoughts because this is a thread and thats what people can do. I didnt set out to offend anyone at all. Why are you doing so?
You sound rude, and childish

 

I hope the zombies get shot.

 

20 years old with a little girl. Nice.

 

hahahaha just like chuck isn't it?
back in the day he used to start riots over his taste in music and his dislikements (such as the doors) and now its about him going to iraq.

man some things never change!! woooooo!! yeehaw
