Shades - I agree with your poitn that the slide show is meant to heighten your emotional response. In fact it is that lack of emotional connection to the area that leads many Americans to regard the conflict as some sort of neighborhood disagreement or even worse as some sort of military enagement. It is neither. I have *zero* problems with the PLO targetting military personnel or installations although a declaration of war would be the honorable thin

oof I apologize for the awful spelling in that one, i am getting ready to go to work. I should have simply waited until I had more time.

Shades - yes I am sickened by gun-owners who are so degenerate that they allow their children to shoot themselves. No argument there. The NRA is not the responsible party as you say. It is morronic parents. Additionally if you follws the links on LGF you will find a slide show o roughly 120 pictures of the Al-aksa Martyr Brigades, Hamas, the PLO (tell me the PLO are not Palestinians go ahead... please) Palestinians would also not be i

Fawn - The US Military is *filled* with people who have suffered losses. If the military allows everyone with a loss to leave their commitment laying in the dirt then the country falls to shreds. There are avenues which are perfectly legitimate for hese young ladies to take if they wish to leave the military. Primary - fulfill their current contract and then ETS with a full and honorablek discharge. The Army is not a lifetime commitment. When your cont

Arquonzo - There is a part of me that feels the same about women in combat roles, at the same time the liberal part of my brain points to the freedom of choice all adults should be entitled to. With that freedom comes the responsibilty to pay for the cnsequences of your actions. The fallen Guard from Wisconsin is a hero, her sisters should go back and fulfill their obligation or they will change status from responsible citizen to oathbreaker. Sounds ha

Solitair - If you asked me whether I would want my daughter working in a factory or wearing an explosive belt I would not have to consider the choices for long. Do you know why? Because it is not even *remotely* in the same league. Additionally, the USA doesn't force anyone anywhere to work in sweatshops. We fixed our problem with that in the 1950's - 1970's If the other nations of the wotrld can't pull their collective heads out of their asses in

How would any of us here on Joeuser have the slightest clue about the decision process of an omnipotent and omniscient being of any disposition? Most of us can't even tell what *Muggaz* is thinking!

Reply to Bush Tells The Truth in International JoeUser Forums

While I think we differ in our political views, I agree that it is a very good thing to see a bit less obfuscation from the government. I think President Bush could gain a lot more repect (not neccessarily votes) if he said what he rally wanted more often. I feel the same way about all politicians no matter what their ideology.

As you may have gleaned from my earlier articles I am a Sergeant in the U.S. Army. I have been on active duty for going on 13 years and have nearly a decade of that spent as a Non-Commisioned Officer (NCO). When I joined the Army in 1992 the military was in a period of heavy transition from the Reagan/Bush years and the drawdown into the Clinton/Post Desert Storm years. During this timeframe the cultural changes in the Army we

Indymedia? I used to spend a lot of time there, but the ad hominem attacks coupled with outright physical threats against those they disagree with have lead me to not only cease reading them, but it casts a pall over everything that comes fromt hat site. Just my opinion though. There are still some fine folks over there who try and steer the debates to actual content, but they are the minority. A lateral step from DU really.
