The American Solder -- please read!!

shouldnt you be saying we?

This poem is as true of British soldiers as american

 

I didn't say that it wasn't; I merely asked you the reason why they would be killing.

 

.....................................

 

then my answer is simple, self defense.

 

Possibly the first sensible thing that you've said.

 

and if this whole post couldnt get any worse...a new low is found!

 

sure your not killing anyone.. but I want to know why they are killing... i'm sure you know why since you seem to know a lot about this... *sarcastic*

 

Who's arguing? We were just having a sensible debate.

 

Megara stop PMS'ing.

 

yea i totally agree.... debating is different then arguing

 

why they are killing? Killing who? insurgents? Maybe because these people are blowing up parts of iraq? Maybe becuase they are..i dont know...attacking them?

As I stated before to you, I was not for this war. There are many kids your age in America who are poor, who would like to go to college and really have 1 option open to them...the Army Reserves, they join thinking they will just help out during natural disasters and do drills one weeknd out of every month, and then this war happens essentially out of nowhere, and a month later they are in Iraq. These people have families, many are peace loving people...you simply cannot paint ALL of the military personnel with one brush.


Another thing, the economy has been so bad in America these last years, that in many places they aren't any option except joining the army when you are 18 and just out of high school.

Now, i know there are gung ho people, and probably a few in the army who like to kill, probably some murderers, but you can't say that they all are.


Anyway, most of the innocent people killed, and once again this makes me sad and i don't support it...happen during the air raids.

 

Yes, do tell us the basis for the war in Iraq.

 

that's a little tough...

 

I do believe that may have been the point...

 

so they are going to just kill them back.. or attack them back... that's not going to solve anything

 

Resolutions weren't obeyed as agreed upon by the cease fire from our last war, they failed to meet the requirements that we agreed on to end the last round of hostilities..so we had to finish what was started.

 

Oh so I guess you all agree with each other and are not trying to persuade that you're in the right?

 

what's killing them back or attacking them back going to do?? it's going to just make a lot of other people mad and join in... all it is is a chain.. can't you see it's not working?? the chain.. people kill you, you kill people, people get mad they get mad they kill people.. and so on

 

so we should just stand there and let them kill us? k, i'll make sure to tell them that.
