But the Freepers who align with McCain, Romney, and Maj. “King” Kong disagree.
I wouldnt trade one American soldier for the entirety of Asia and Europe.
Did the 300,000 strong Afghan army show up yet? I expect they’ll be coming along any time now to take out the Taliban.
Ever since Iraq’s WMD’s proved to be of little use, we’ve come to realize how much is a lie.
Weather you fought in Vietnam or Iraq doesn’t mean you fought for nothing. As much as these ventures were basically folly, I will never dishonor those that fought hard. Like my son.
I give media nitwits like Sean Hannity a bit of a pass because they're generally dumber than rocks and they're paid to spew propaganda on the air. I expect people here to be smarter than that.
Gutfield never served in the military and never was a war correspondent, so what exactly did he “go through” during the Iraq war? One assumes he is talking rhetorically, but it isn’t possible for me to trust ANY media figure these days. So, because he’s talking first person about something he “went through,” I don’t know his meaning.
Ridiculous to fight to enforce the borders of another country when we don’t have a border anymore in the US .
Talk to we the people about another war when you care about OUR border.
The effort to demonize the Iraq war is pure radical anti-Republican nonsense.
Saddam Hussein was not a hero or champion.
Putin is not a hero or champion.
Donald trump recognizes and recognized that Putin was not a hero.
Trump ordered the killing of 200 Russian soldiers which no US President had ever done.
American military actions against communism in Vietnam and Baathist Iraq were vastly morally superior the politics and forces they were fighting.
It’s sad to see how far academic brainwashing has erased these hard facts.
No thanks. Gutfeld is wrong.
Agree 100%.
I think at the end of the day, the point is, we don’t entirely know what’s going on. We have the same Remember the Maine, 2nd Tonkin Bay, and WMD incidents feeling here. And this is regardless of whether you served or not, you can still be skeptical of a war that costs billions of dollars and thousands of lives.
Maybe the man has regrets about his past actions of a supporter of the war. Being antiwar doesn’t make you less of a conservative. John Quincy Adams spoke of America has a city on a hill, a champion of freedom everywhere, but a fighter for it only at home.
We just saw the results of the war in Afghanistan and even those most obnoxious liberal should be questioning the leftist (D’s and Rs) mantra of go to war. We just don’t know what’s going on and maybe prudence should be our guiding hand.
It is the younger generation that doesn’t get the LIES yet, however they will learn!! The older generation has been down this wag the dog road to many times to count THEN The Whole virus BS, we have lived through SO MANY pandemics with NEVER a mask in sight, NEVER a business closed, NEVER a school closed we just instinctively KNEW the damn virus was all about getting rid of Trump!! Nixon looks like Saint Peter compared to what the Clinton clan has gotten away with just sickening!!!
Learned that lesson 53 years ago.
But what about all of the FReepers who want many Americans to die for Bidet’s 10%?
And just think of the poor Clintons!
What a brave little fella. Doesn’t want to endure the personal trauma involved in discussing war in relative comfort and safety.
The wisdom of “George Washington’s Farewell Address to the People of the United States” is as relevant today as it was in the 1790’s. Here’s an excerpt speaking to today’s Ukraine situation.
“The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.
Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence therefore it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.
Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest guided by justice shall counsel.
Why forgo the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rival- ship, interest, humor, or caprice?”
Isn’t his wife from Ukraine and his mother-in-law just there, and Fox News crew members helped her get out?
+ millions of us...
too bad the other warmongers among us can’t say the same. Most of the ones pushing us towards war over Ukraine were the same ones who lied us into Iraq twice.
