Re: Bush asks for sacrifice he doesn\'t ask of himself
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Not to cut you off Scoot, but we simply disagree on the war's necessity. Its been argued hundreds of times, and there's no way you're going to change my mind, and vice versa, I believe. [/ QUOTE ] So, to be clear, you are saying that the Iraqi war is a necessity? It's a necessity that my family is taken care of. It is a necessity to provide myself and my loved ones with food, clothing and shelter. In fact, by the very definition of the word 'necessity', these tasks are so important that I don't leave the responsibility of fulfilling them to anyone other than myself. I would be seen as incredibly irresponsible and even negligent if I were to place the onus of completing these jobs onto someone else. For every able-bodied American between the ages of 18-35 who believes this war to be a 'necessity' yet is not serving in the armed forces, your failure to do so is due to either laziness or cowardice. [/ QUOTE ] Especially when you consider WWII, when tons of guys (including one of my uncles), lied about their age so that they COULD fight.

Of course, our country hasn't been threatened by Iraq, and so that's why it's getting so hard to find recruits for Boosh's war.

If he's so gung-ho about this war, show us some guts and send your kids to the front lines. [/ QUOTE ] This argument is retarded. Who has the power to force their children to enlist?

There are plenty of 18-25 year olds in college who support the war(think College Republicans) who could go, but aren't. Stop being lame and nitpicking at sentences while ignoring the main points in the article.

Maybe you should take a remedial reading course and learn that when I type "health care is a domestic policy that ALL presidents have dealt with, not Bush's sole problem" that I don't necessarily mean "health care is an individual responsibility". Typical, however, as once again words are put in another's mouth as an attempt to discredit them. I'm not surprised or impressed.

Re: Bush asks for sacrifice he doesn\'t ask of himself
Bush has sacrificed plenty: the truth, honor, his mortal soul.
He doesn't deserve an honorable death on the battlefield. A carbomb is too good for him. He deserves choking to death on a toothpick or having a heart attack on the toilet.

Re: Bush asks for sacrifice he doesn\'t ask of himself
Fine, then step down from the letter for a second, and please address this point:
Fact: There are plenty of 18-25 year olds in college who support the war(think College Republicans) who could go, but aren't. How are these kids not hypocrites?
