 cptenaud says: We've Had Two Victories in Iraq (0.00 / 0) "Mission Accomplished" Apparently not enough to bring the troops home! "The Surge Worked" And still not enough to bring the troops home, but instead have more serving in theater than before 'the surge'! What's the next catch phrase?? Next catch phrase? How about: "You've been activated." An interesting overview of the National Guard in Iraq is at: http://www.pbs.org/now/society/natguard.html I thought about this topic yesterday when hearing of story of 44-year old guy, who fought in Gulf War One, got called back to duty. Someone needs to defend our service men and women from their Commander in Chief. This person spent his life since his return, traded on the reputation of genuine heroes. When the full truth comes out of his true captivity, what then? Dressing the Vietnam war up in McCain garb and seeing it as no more that the 'torture' of one man who triumphs is a large part of the reason that the US got sucked into the Iraq invasion. After Vietnam ther never should have been an Iraq! This Hollywood version of the tragedy that was the Vietnam war - for both sides - demeans those that suffered through it and the aftermath.Then it buried the aftermath and dumped on those it forced to fight. Can the US ever learn from its mistakes? Well not while frauds like McCain can come so close to b... 7 days to elections. I guess we'll then see if we've learned from our mistakes or put another real warmonger back in office who likes to shoot before he thinks. I thought she was a good shot, no? Or is it the way that she winks at you? :wink: Darn...didn't work. If McCain were best person to lead country nowWe'd be in far deeper shit than we thought, I'd say. I STILL don't know how he was picked, although I have some suspicions. I wish there were a worthwhile option that was good for America. |
