For most of the history of mankind, if your husband had signed up for military service, he'd be gone for years at a time. Not 6-9 months and then back. It's frankly amazing that during wartime, we're cycling soldiers back as frequently as we do. I'm not aware of any military in history that has done that.
OH for God's sake man listen to yourself!
You are telling people to view modern-times from the standards of 100+ years ago, and to find solace in that?
You honestly cannot expect me to believe that JUST because we're not living in caves and dying of old age at 25, that the world doesn't need to still improve.
You cannot compare.
I guess if you get into a car accident you shouldn't be unhappy, but be GLAD because we don't have to shoe horses anymore..
'Surprised that we're cycling soldiers back'? C'mon.
Tell me.. do you think that the Viet Nam war was ok?
Seriously.. it's not the 1940s anymore... We are no longer oblivious to proper tactics of modern warfare. WW2 was supposed to be the War to End All Wars.. because after that we KNEW then waht was capable of happening and the massive and horrendous ammount of casualities that could be sustained...
If we had better planned, better prepared, had more foresight, had more troops, and had more support... then perhaps we could have dealt with this Iraq situation a bit better. But didn't Bush want to go in there Soo Badd.. so his cronies could milk it for everything it's worth for these shameful 4 years?
They did not prepare because they did not care. Their eyes were so focused on some fabricated destination that they never even bothered to see the path right in front of their feet in front of their feet.
Now we are struggling. We are sending in the National Guard for Christs sake!? How much longer will it last?
It will last as long as our President wants it do.
I don't suggest we leave now. Nope Nope, we are lock in that place now aren't we. I actually think Bush is smarter than most people give him credit for. He is living out that good ole' American Dream to The Fullest. Really somone for the kids to look up to. Go for waht you want no matter tha cost.. no matter how long it takes, no matter how many lives have to be shattered to get there. That's power for you there. Yes siree.
hey, at least you weren't born in Iraq right? I guess for that reason alone we should all be prostrating ourselves everyday in the direction of the holy city of Washington D.C., aye Gbaji?
