What's your point?
If they helped bring that war to an early close shouldn't they be
honoured?
Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way. I'm surprised that
Canada feels differently.
Do you think they were all cowards?
Pretty much.

Oh yeah....
re "Honoring cowardly acts is not the American way."
Do I dare point out that your current president hid from service?
What branch of your military did you serve in?


Bert, Bert, Bert...get off your high horse. You never served in a
shooting war.
Never said I was in any action. However, I was available to be a bullet
catcher when the phone rang and I needed to be at the assembly point
within hours.

What branch of the military did you serve in, Harry?
Excellent question


Why does it matter? New rules? Nobody can talk about this if they haven't
served?

It has nothing to do with talking, everybody can do that with exception
to those that can't physically talk.

If somebody asks a medical questions and you respond with an answer. Are
they entitled to know if you are medical professional and at what level?

Opinions can have weight and that weight is in direct proportion to the
the education and experience of the person giving the opinion.

Would you let the guy taking his first auto mechanics class rebuild your
car's engine? Do you want your doctor's first surgery to be the one he
performs on you?

As expected, all stupid analogies. This discussion is about the propriety
of certain wars. You do not need military service to discuss this issue. Be
careful about disagreeing with that statement. It's a trap.

As I stated your opinion has value if it is valued. Your opinions have
not valued because they are not valued by others.

Your president created a war, but served no time in the military. Based on
that, ANYONE is welcome to an opinion about the validity of certain wars.

Why? Clinton used the military without obtaining congress' approval. Do
you condemn Clinton's actions?
