All veterans and soldiers are for peace. But we do know that the concept of leave them alone and the bad guys might behave themselves doesn't work in the real world.
Absolutely. Some people realize that ignoring a problem (Nazi Germany, Iraq, North Korea) doesn't make it go away, it only gives it time to fester. The soldiers are the ones who have to go take care of the problem. Believe me, you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the military, ESPECIALLY the guys on the ground with the rifles, who want peace MORE than we do.
It has about as much weight in my opinion as Hackworth's "Soldiers for the Truth." Hackworth - decorated as he may be - is nothing more than a whining, cocky hack.
The chump's even bashed the M9 pistol, saying that "troops everywhere are disgusted with it."
Uh, huh.
Sure.
The M9 is a great pistol. It never, ever jammed on me. It shot straight and true each time. It was a huge (albeit smaller weighted) improvement over the M1911. Hackworth..and his sham(e) group was looking for nothing more than attention.
Same deal with "Veterans for Peace." You want peace, VFP crowd?
Let's go for Peace Through Superior Firepower."
