All war sucks. That's why they only draft young men, old men would say screw this. If you want to see why we are at war, just look at how much $ Bush and Halliburton have made. Follow the money. 2,500+ good men all dead. Probably many thousands of civilians. $420 Billion dollars could feed a lot of the worlds children and improve the education of thousands more. Sneaking around, blowing sh--t up and killing M----F-----. What a waste. Support our troops----Bring them home now. Let Bush and Halliburton fight their own war. By Jim Dunn A Viet Nam Vet. Bush's flunkies will probably put me under survelance now. Is free speach dead?

free speech is alive and well. We can see that in this forum alone not to mention the hundreds and thousands of Blog sites dedicated primarily to political persuasions.

The philosophy you state is of course yours to believe. It is the basic cut and run/surrender/appeasement discipline that is so enamored by the left in these United States today.

As to the old men knowing that "we should just bring em Home"......Thats largely BS. There is a very solid corps of old men who have served in their time who realize it is each generations task to take up the sword when necessary to defend the citizenry. It is often the very act of deploying miltitary assets and men that gives an enemy pause. Doing nothing sends a message that we are ripe for more terror and will roll over and do nothing.

If there really is or was a corps of old men who see things as you do then why did all those old men oppose the lefts latest losing presidential candidate. John Kerry?

There are many of us old men who have served in the military before who would jump at the chance to be young again just to have an oppurtunity to put a round through the forehead of your average generic Islamic terrrorist.

Sadly, I cannot make myself young again but I would not shirk the effort if it could be so. There are thousands like me including many who are very old WW2 veterans.

The policy of cowardice in the face of the enemy is ill advised in a world filled with so many who continue to live in the 7th century. Vigilance and a willingness to strike that enemy is essential and good.

Cowardice and appeasement is lame!

Google Neville Chamberlain for a primer on appeasement.

Google George Patton for a different more American philosophy on dealing with enemies.

Or if that fails your litmus test than take a hard look at how the Israelis deal with terror when their backs are pushed to the wall.
