Have some respect Rude.

You've never served. For all intents and purposes - YOU'VE never left your computer room.

And before you ask, I've never served either. But I do have the common decency not to ridicule and belittle other's who have.

You were never in Bosnia, you have no right to judge his service. The mission, maybe, but not his personal sacrifice.

So, we need a list of credentials to post on this BBS now?  

If so, lets see 'em from everybody, including those shouting from the bleachers.

Actual;y Hindsight is a wonderfull thing.

Maybe he was. If we were to be selfish we might just have ended up better off as a nation without that crippling financial debt and all the lives lost during WW2. I don't think Hitler seriously wanted to destroy the British Empire. He admired it and tried to create his own perverted version in Russia. His Invasion threat was a bluff to force us to the table. He had every opportunity to destroy our army at Dunkirk. Instead German strategy effectively disarmed it and let the troops go home!

Unselfishly I think Churchill was right and some things are just too much to let go un answered. We were right to fight.

Thing is though history is a mix of both. Unselfishness when it suits. If the US was a truely unselfish freedom exporter why not go to war in all the other places injustice happens. Didn't see them help in Ruanda, or Bosnia, ormany other places. Neither does any other nation. MostWars are inevitably political and iraq is one of those.

War aint the solution anymore we learned that in Europe 60 years ago. Pity we can't learn that lesson when it comes to exporting war.

Some guy made a website where he has put all the Fallujah fighting videos he could find.

It's http://www.fallujah.us       ..... click the "watch video" link in the upper left and you'll get to a page with about 7 of them.

So you guys think they are insurgents?


Noun 1. insurgent - a person who takes part in an armed rebellion against the constituted authority (especially in the hope of improving conditions)
Synonyms: freedom fighter, insurrectionist, rebel
 
2. insurgent - a member of an irregular armed force that fights a stronger force by sabotage and harassment
Synonyms: guerilla, guerrilla, irregular


I realy didn't think you guys thought of them as freedom fighters.


Crawl in your hole Devil's Advocate man.  You type before you think.  

Pretty funny you try to give us Americans a Dictionary lesson.  But on your last sentence you misspelled really by typing "realy".  Now sit down and STFU!

I am definately not advocating the enemy combatants behavior in Iraq.  I think its horrible.

But if China were to invade the U.S. because of something our government did, and turn us all communist, I could see myself as becoming a freedom fighter.
