This makes me sick. I write this looking at the picture of my Grandfather in his unifrom who was drafted in WWI- a War he thought Bullcrap even then. My Great Uncle served as a Priest in WWII even at the age of 40 at Anzio- got the silver star when medals still meant something (unlike in Viet Nam where Kerry got his medals). My father served in the guard like Bush did only because his dad told him too as he thought war was a bullshit racket. And it is. To oppose this war is to be Patriotic! To support it is to be a sycophant of government and tyranny!

I would rephrase that to say "is to be alive and free from sycophants and tyrannical governments."

You just got it backasswards.

I do not agree with your characterization. Not at all.

My medals mean something to me. A despicable statement you make.

You left off this part...

War Is Peace
Freedom Is Slavery
Ignorance Is Strength
Big Brother Is Watching You

Hey stupid! You can be as patriotic as you wish, just don't be downing others for their beliefs unless you have legitimate proof. My father and grandfather served in WW2, and I have a Great Uncle who served in WW1. Sometimes it means having to go off and fight for something, an ideal, that allows us to live as we do. You haven't, because you don't feel that there is any validity to what the government said. Okay! Your choice. But don't put the others down who support the President, I have been over there and feel he did the right thing.

You wouldn't know sycophancy and tyranny if it slapped you upside the head. You sound like a sycophant of the left, one of those little lemmings who all blindy follow the "peace" thing. But its you lot who haven't paid attention to history. You cold and shallow people who cannot win because you are afraid to risk. But you are the first to open your big fat mouths when others have to go off and do it for you. Just remember this boyo, what your father, and grandfather did counts only for their generation, what have you given for your freedom lately?
