Your comments betray your attitude towards *all* military (except, superficially, Luddite), and they make you look quite stupid. Of course, I can understand that your comments are simply an expression of your 'interest' in the subject. -- Guns don't cause problems. The behavior of certain gun owners causes problems. |

A war escalated by a Democrat. |
