a question for you- why do you not protest?

I thought about mentioning godwin's law, then thought fuck it this is page 2, you had it coming.

Doesn't that just mean something along the lines of 'The path was chosen, it's littered with landmines, it's full of ravines, but it's chosen and we'll follow it till it ends or we end'?
Not that supporting the troops is bad, it's quite good actually, but that's like saying you will always support the wehrmacht no matter what, just because hitler was the one that made the bad decisions and the wehrmacht had to follow. And the fact that those people that actively try to put a stop to the path chosen somehow get their reputations dragged through the dirt at the best of times.

Supporting the troops is simply not turning your back on the men and women who were signed up when this whole thing went down. Those people don't want to be there doing what they are doing. But they have an obligation to fulfil and shouldn't be chastised for doing so. I can only hope that America will vote for the change needed to get us out of Iraq.

[Nightshade]

Uh, Gramps? No one's talking shit about the troops here. Why the hell are you?

[tnf]

when did we turn our backs on the troops here?

[LawL]

Oh ok, so America knew right from the start that invading Iraq was going to be one of the most unwarranted, worthless, horrendous fuck-ups in history, inducing seething hatred from the vast majority of the planet, yet went ahead and did it anyway.

I'm sure you knew the exact outcome. Too bad you're not an advisor to top government officials. You could have saved the world. Imagine that.

It wasn't just me who knew, but just about every single person on the planet. Then there's the .0000000001% of the world who were so retarded they thought it was the right thing to do, like your moronic government.

Here's a tip for you. Whenever you get to thinking that you're smarter than me. Look in the mirror and laugh at how ridiculous you look. Becuase that's exactly how rediculous that thought was.

Here's a tip for you. Next time you try to tell someone you're smarter than them, don't do it in a sentence that is littered with terrible punctuation and spelling errors.

that's how I passed my english composition course back in the day...bywriting to a 5 year old audience, and it worked.
