Got a cold chill reading this Harry.
But I agree 100% with what you mean.

It is immoral to sit safe in your house while you urge that the sons and
daughters of other families be sent off to foreign lands to fight and
die in a war based on a president's incompetency, stupidity, and deceit.

Harry, are you really one who should be talking of sitting safely in
your house
while others are being sent to foreign lands to fight and die?

I think not.

For a non-participant, you are quick with the moral judgements.

I disagree, John. I think that if an elected official votes in favor of
the war, whether to signify agreement or to provide funding, that
person's kids should be the first to enlist. They should have 7 days to
do this, or be arrested. People who voted for a candidate who declared
the war - same thing. Off with their children, or the voters themselves,
if they're otherwise eligible for service (age & health). A little over
half the country voted for Nookular Boy. Take away those who are too old
to serve or have no kids and I'd imagine we could still come up with
what.....maybe 10-20 million new soldiers? End of recruiting problem.

If there's a good reason not to think this way, I haven't heard it yet.

Sounds good to me as long as the military funding has been directed by
those same people long enough for it to be properly equipped so that we
have the LOW mortality rates we have now.

Do you realize how concerned the military mind is about their guys. Speed
limits and the belt law are RIGIDLY enforced on bases to prevent deaths
from car accidents. You only heard about shaped charges in regards to
taking out tanks in the past, now terrorists are using them against jeeps
because of the armor the troop carriers have installed to protect the
crew.


I'm not saying the military doesn't try and protect its people. I'm talking
about the politicians who arrange for a prank like this war, and then go
back to their fancy lunches while other peoples' kids are killed for
absolutely no friggin' reason except to satisfy a president who had no
chance of leaving any sort of positive legacy.
