[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 71972, member: 1356"] kybdBanger, first off I wish to correct your crediting of the quote. Those were my words, not susie's. To answer the question you posed to susie if you consider that a qualifier or pertinent, my military service time would be that none, zero, zilch, nada amount. I believe that has led me to respect those that have more than otherwise, especially those that volunteered. I am of an age that I was the last generation, last year of the manditory draft from the Vietnam era. I was drafted number 109 and was ready to due my duty even though I was far more interested in attending college when they ended the manditory service. So I went to college instead. It is simple fact that the number of soldiers killed has passed 2000 and that the permanently crippled/injured is far, far higher. These continuing quotes by the administration that they "expected an escalation of the violence until ...." infer that the violence will slack off after that date. I was asking if anyone else had noticed that this same PR response to continuing deaths of our soldiers was being continually recycled using different dates/same results as the excuse. While not in the military I have relatives and friends in the military, several over there currently. I personally haven't had anyone close die over there yet although some in my community (small town) have . I am unhappy with both the deception that got us over there and the neorepublican philosophies of democracy through military aggression that brought it about. Is there some part of the quote you linked to susie that you take exception to? Or do you think military service is/was required to have an opinion regarding the policies of our nation or the PR used in the news? Or are you just unhappy with susie? I take exception with the first two and am ok with the latter. sorry susie. :D [/QUOTE]
