A question - since I am not a vet, do you think I am not entitled to an opinion on the war?

Just putting your opinion in perspective ...

Anon

So,this means that only those who have had abortions can discuss them,only those that vote can talk about voting and politics,only those that drive camaro's can talk about them,etc???

No it doesn't mean that, but if you're so hell bent on seeing blood, why not give your own in the place of one of those boys just like in the video.
You want to scream war from the hilltops, why not get yourself a nice cozy spot on a hill in Iraq, where you could give the troops the courage they need to go on?

I drive a 1987 Olds, by the way!

I already gave my blood,and part of my right hand,in Iraq.
2nd Battalion,25th Marines.
I was wounded in Nassiriyah.
Sorry to disappoint you,but I've been there already.

No disappointment here, MM. Sorry to hear about that and I'm sure it was terrible for you.

Anyway, I still don't agree with you, but McG seemed to think that I should agree with everyone in a certain group.

I think any person who has actually been in combat has a better perspective on what's really happening and not the BS we get from the media.

Just my opinion of course.

There's lots of soldiers who didn't like being soldiers.

But they don't all protest against their peers.

Nor do I claim to be. I'm a brat. It's as close as you can be without being there.

I don't hate women but I don't think much of "women's rights". The ERA failed repeatedly because it was gay more than it was about women.

I don't see any discrimination against women in this country. Some talk about a glass ceiling - certainly not in any of the industries I've worked in. Even in aerospace, where females were few and far between in management ranks, the legal teams were loaded with women, and we all know who makes the rules and where the buck really stops. Lawyers.

Yes. Just don't bug me.

mysteryman was in the Gulf War not this current insane situation. I am sure we all appreciate his service but saying he was "there" in the context of this war is not entirely accurate.

I dislike you because of your bias and eternal hatered of women! I've thought you were a turd ever since I read your little screed aqainst women and womens rights that you were so proud of on Abuzz. It has never benn about you being a soldier!!

Just curious MM. Did you watch the video?
