Har har. Good.

Now I gotta question for you.

There was a time when you were soliciting people's advice on if you should enlist. You were ----> <------ this close to doing it.

What stopped ya?

I'm too fat. And I like my job. And I found out that I was too old to get into any kind of officer school.

But Funked - dude.... seriously.

This war aint abstract. It takes actual people like you and me to die for it.

That aint partisan - that is a simple mathematical reality.

You don't wanna be one of them? Then, well.... gosh....

How much weight do you seriously want me to lend to your opinion?

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #155 on:** August 17, 2005, 01:53:49 AM »

Which opinion?

Nash · « **Reply #156 on:** August 17, 2005, 01:57:16 AM »

don't MAKE me whip out the little dancing gif.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #157 on:** August 17, 2005, 01:58:30 AM »

I'm serious, not sure what you are getting at.

Nash · « **Reply #158 on:** August 17, 2005, 02:03:28 AM »

Okay, well.... I'd love to go a-archiving....

That's a lie.

We can get to the bottom of it right freaking now.

Are you in support of this war? Yes or no?

If so, do you recognize that it takes people to fight this war?

If so - do you think you are any better than anyone else?

If not, do you realize that you fall within the recruitment age, and that you would be accepted if you volunteered?

If so, where the hell are you?

My opinion on the war:
The invasion was a mistake.
US forces should be withdrawn as soon as possible while keeping in mind the "you break it you bought it" principle.
Home for Christmas sounds about right.

People, and money that was borrowed or extorted from citizens.

I'm good at video games, and I can beat all comers in constests of eating and drinking, and baseball trivia. And Scrabble.

Actually, no, I wouldn't be accepted. I checked out their minimum physical requirements and I would be rejected on multiple grounds.

Wow....

Yer basically saying that it's a fiasco now....

That's quite a shift...

Yet you wanna dog me (this thread for example)?

I don't blame ya for the change.... At least you have it in ya (no small thing). Don't bite my ankles for saying what I always have.

If I shifted or changed it was around the middle of 2003 when it became clear that Iraq didn't have the capability or intent to hit the US with WMD, and that Saddam was not in cahoots with Al-Qaeda.

Some good has still come out of the war (scratch one Hitler-wannabe), but Murrican boys shouldn't be doing what Iraqi boys should be doing for themselves.

Bush and his people either lied or screwed up (don't know or care which), and I voted against them last year.

We need to bring troops home from pretty much everywhere. Our military should be used to defend Americans and strike back at those who attack Americans. Anything else is not consistent with Constitutional principles.

I will continue to dog hippies though, and furrin hippie supporters, because of Vietnam.

Nash, you get special treatment, because you are so zealous, a true believer, and I like you. If I didn't like you I wouldn't say anything at all.

Nash · « **Reply #162 on:** August 17, 2005, 02:37:36 AM »

Well, I like you too and that's why I went semi-ballistic when I heard that you were considering "service."

This war is dead...

"We need to bring troops home from pretty much everywhere. Our military should be used to defend Americans and strike back at those who attack Americans."

Ditto British troops.

Glad to see you've see the light FUNKED1.

You see I'm not an apologist for terrorists or a damn hippy. I just don't believe the Iraq war has actualy helped anything. all it has done is provided fuel for terrorists and got too many good men women, and children killed.

It is a catastrophic military, political blunder. Mr Bush has Im afraid shown total incompetence which is why I'm sure many outside the USA can't believe he's still in power and on a five week holiday! Couldn't you guys make it a permanent holiday?

For the record I think Mr Blair ought to shoulder some blame too and gracefully make way.

Here's a heads up, if Bush and the GOP want to make Jesus the center of politics then do not whine when, oddly and unexplicably, church is politicized.
