I love how the dude basically ignored the contents of this post just to show some more liberal anti-veteran strawmen what for. Silence speaks louder than words, in some cases.

Fair enough. I think a distinction needs to be made between supporting troops and supporting foreign policy, but your point about progressive voices being handcuffed by the corporate structure if they want to stay on the air is a good one.

I think that distinction is pretty harmful, really, because "supporting the troops" has become something non-negotiable in the US. So you can be against foreign policy, but when someone asks if you support the troops, you have to say yes, essentially shutting down the conversation.

I hate the Canadian army, and nobody would call me an rear end in a top hat for saying that (unless their relatives are in the army), because we don't have the same creepy mentality about the military here.

They're an army.

That movie where George Clooney tries to steal HitlerSaddam's gold is the most accurate film made about the US involvement in the middle east.

I dont think soldiers are saints, they are trained killers. Are soldiers supposed to feel guilt about killing?

Yes. Yes they are.

Counterpoint:

I would argue that the loss of life made less of an impact than the destruction of iconic buildings.

Military groupies are really loving creepy.

It's like those women who marry convicted murderers by correspondence.
