"How in the Hell can you fight this mentality?"
You kill them all. Its that simple.
"AND IN REALITY WE HAVE ENOUGH OF A WAR GOING ON IN EVERY STREET OF AMERICA."
No, its not every street in America. Its your urban cities that hold most of this nations filth that are the war zones.

That's what I stated at the end,
'Otherwise just blow the whole Middle East off the face of the earth. Because, this is the only way your going to stop this'. But we won't do this. So what purpose does having our troops in all these Middle East venues serve? We are not winning anything against these lunatics. And they are not worth our troops lives, limbs & minds.

When are you going to get it through your head that it's a volunteer army? Go to Vets for Freedom.org and read some of the blogs from the soldiers that are there or have been there. Some people, mostly soldiers, care a whole lot more then you do. Your media brainwashed ideas let 56,000 troops die in Vietnam for nothing and your going to do it again. Typing in huge print like your yelling does not make your ideas right.

Who in the F' do you think your talking to BOY?
F' YOUR Media.
I had family fighting in Nam, friends that fought in Nam. Two friends dead by 50 from agent orange. Media didn't kill anybody. I've sat down with more Vets in real life and conversed about many points of views, than your little boy suggestions. Don't need to resort to a web site. Have seen many of articles from VETS THAT BEEN THERE. Here's just one of them for YOU.

My second cousin has served two tours in Iraq already. His Dad ( my first cousin ) has rank with the 119th Mi. Life long service.
I HAVE HEARD THE REAL THING IN PERSON THANK YOU.
A VOLUNTEER ARMY? Who signed up to be held hostage forever? Who in the hell are you trying to kid?
I PRAY THAT THERE'S A DRAFT. SO THE REPUBLICAN KIDS CAN GO AND EXPERIENCE SOME REAL LIFE.
Because never again will only the POOR kids have to do all the fighting and dying like in Nam. THEN we will see who really is for this war.
Go back to the play pen, BABY.

Longshot I hate to break this to you, but if they do install a draft, rich kids still ain't gonna go.
Because as much as you want to deny it, there is a TON of money on both sides of fence. And rich dems are gonna fight to keep their kids out just as hard as repubs.
They might talk a good game right now, but when push comes to shove, it ain't happening.
Seriously now, you have to be waking up to the fact that neither party cares about the common folk.
They make all the promises the can and retards on both sides fall for it hook, line, and sinker.
Until we the people break this two party cartel we have, we are all f-ed

Some kids no doubt will be weeded through to a diversion. But no way in hell with the same frequency that happened during Nam. They nick named that war, Poor Boys War for a reason. I do not believe for one second that the same who got out of going Then, will be able to do so in the future. The Public will never let it happen again. Yes there were rich kids on both sides hiding in College. But you know as well as me, there were far more Rich Repubs there than Dems. The Kennedy's were loathed by the Republicans, because they were Rich yet Democrats. They couldn't stand the thought of people with real money giving a F' about the poorest of people. Kennedy's were bought out of a lot of trouble with their loot. But they also helped a lot of people that didn't have their loot. Republicans help no one but themselves. EVER.
Who do you think STILL makes up this VOLUNTEER ARMY as jax states. Kids with money?
Kids with money for College are in College, not giving up years in the service in exchange for College. It is still the poorest of kids doing the joining, for the benefits they promise them. Because that is still for some the only way to further their education. This is Fact not an delusion.

I've already GOT Military VIEWS. Two Cousins.
One a long time Ranked Officer with the 119th Mi. And second, His SON. Who has served in Cuba and Two tours in Iraq.
I have heard from the SOURCE, Thank you.
And BTW, another cousin who served in NAM. He was the Above's Brother and Uncle. 4 Brothers drafted during Nam. Two youngest served stateside, Two oldest/ one to Germany Medical Core/ Other served IN COUNTRY NAM.
I have all the Military points of views I need.
BLEEP do you people think? That all people arrive at their views from nothing?
Sorry to disappoint, but i very much research what I post on. And research on Nam was hands on, from the memorials I went to from the age of 8, to seeing cousins & friends leaving for the unknown. And returning from a nightmare they would never be able to lose.
What the hell else do you think you can offer me BYE-BYE?

reason why I asked about the 119th, I never heard of a Military Intellegence Battalion having the 119th.

OH EXCUSE ME, a 20 year old with more experience than an 58 year old Officer who's been in DECADES AND DECADES AND DECADES. Give me a F'N break. Your still wet behind the ears.
And his son a Whopping 30 year old, who has served in Cuba and Two Tours in Iraq.
Take your Military Intelligence and blow it out your BLEEP. You upstart little punk.
GIVE IT 5 or 10 years BUD. Then tell us all what you think you know.
20 years old?
Born 1988?
I went to my first memorial in 1965, at the age of 8.
A 20 year old active duty, with so much time on his hands he sits on a computer to give us his 20 year old expertise on all military subjects.
You are sickening and a disgrace to the uniform, if you are in. But I feel like it's a Bill O'Reilly "I'VE BEEN IN COMBAT" RANT.
