Refreshing to hear that...

[Its All Over Except ...]

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.

[Sirius Lee]

James Waterman was only partially right. If fascism ever comes to America it will be wrapped up in a flag, yes, but it will be a blue and yellow one.

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.

One of the most distressing things I've learned on a conservative website like FR is that an awful lot of people seem to be either disingenuous about their motives or gullible as children when they post about prominent issues like this.

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.

[Loud Mime]

I agree with you, having learned the hard way.

I keep thinking about the song “Queen of the Silver Dollar.” FR has some of the same characters.

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.

Yes, their service was honorable no matter the circumstances they were placed in.

[Baldwin77]

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.

“So, because he’s talking first person about something he “went through,” I don’t know his meaning.”

I’m guessing he means being played and jerked around by fake intelligence and false motives to join the war-drums chorus.

[A_perfect_lady]

That’s a good point. Mexico has been invading us for decades. Russia/Ukraine is not really our problem.

[Hot Tabasco]

Ever since Iraq’s WMD’s proved to be of little use,

They were there, but like the Hunter Biden laptop, the media denied it or ignored it.

First line of the article:

'I am sure as hell not going to tell a single person to go there and die in a foreign country. I learned that lesson with Iraq and I am never going to go through that again.' @greggutfeld

I think that it's obvious he means that, in previous conflicts, he may have (directly or indirectly) encouraged patriots (for the cause of freedom) to go and fight, and that he now regrets having done that.

The Ukraine problem seems to have brought out a class of FReepers none of us have ever seen before. Posters who’ve never served, water carriers for the Joe Scarborough/ Mika Brezhinski media lites and the Obama / Biden / Nuland / Psaki US State Department acolytes. Posters going on and on about “nuclear” war in the best Liz Cheney / Mitt Romney traditions.

Most of them appear to me to be newly minted “conservatives” who’ve recently migrated here from Democrat Underground because they’ve “seen the light” on disastrous democrat economic and foreign policy issues as well as democrat support of satanic cultural issues.

I refer to them as Tik Tok republicans

The first link you provide is an anonymous opinion from 2012. The second link is unproven propaganda from the Pentagon. Please, no more #FakeWars.

[Jewbacca]

I’ve yet to see a single Freeper align with the chicken hawk brigade.

I have seen, however, tons of Putin fanboys lying about it.

(For clarity, Not saying you are one of the Putin fan boys.)
