Hello again, tom:

And, if you DIDN'T comment and offer support, some of the dead people MIGHT be alive. Some of the ones who're going to be executed, might be home with their family's.

I love it, when guys like you and Cheney tell people to risk their lives from the comfort of their living rooms. Cheney NEVER saw a war HE wanted to fight. He got one deferment after the other during Vietnam... But, he's certainly willing to risk YOUR children..

I've never heard of any risk to your body that YOU'VE taken either.

Using the chickenhawk strawman again ?
Serving in the military is an honorable thing and I thank you for it .
Lucky for me that people like you defended and continue to defend my right to free speech .Why did you if you think I should only exercise it if I first put myself at risk first ?

I suppose that the President should resign because since he never served it disqualifies him to be CIC ?Or maybe the Joint Chiefs should just ignore him because he never had skin in the game. Maybe only the military should lead the nation and everyone else become a second class citizen?

Let's see how far we can stretch this logic. Ah yes... any citizen who has not served should not have a voice about any matters military at all since they never put themselve at risk.
Perhaps only people who work and pay taxes should have a vote since their vote decides how tax money is spent. I bet you would not buy into these statements .

The protesters in Iran are carrying signs written in English and posting on the internet in English . Why do you think they are doing it if they are not in fact begging for our support ?
