your actually right i am against pretend peace it causes too much death! but i guess if you can get a binding contract i would be game problem is i will always have my war and you will never have your peace so until then i choose to kill the opposition before they kill me!



Kinda of funny how much peace we got once we dropped the atomic bomb on Japan isn't it?I think the 70 million dead people would agree that dropping the bomb on the first day of the war would have been the best choice thus ending the war and saving millions of people.

slaphead
damn dude???? i am sorry but at this point your just laughable! I just think your greatly misinformed or uninformed and i really am tired of trying to educate you! how can i have a conversation with someone that really has no knowledge of politics or history and current events. I just cant! i have to explain over and over how you dont make sense and have no argument just like the girl! then you just state the same thing again in a different way! Taliban huh????? lol....read up buddy read up!rofl



My family is not being threatened by the taliban? I beg to differ brother. My family missed being on the flight out of Newark New Jersey by just a couple months. We were on our way to Hawaii for a change of duty station, and flying a carbon copy flight of the one that went down outside Camp David. Also, the latest "threat" which involved blowing up D.C. with a nuclear bomb about a month ago (?) was close enough to home that I would have felt the effects of it with about an hour or so at most if even that long if it happened. That's just the immediate and personal threats. The fact that they threaten our country, our way of living, our rights, the rights of our women and children, I could continue on forever, but that all effects me also. Also, I DID serve my time, that's why I state that I can speak with authority and first hand knowledge. My first duty station was a combat support hospital and we deployed out to the Balkains as the second unit out there, leaving on Christmas eve 1995. I have seen way too many casualties myself, and worked hand in hand triaging them, and doing whatever else I could as a non-medic, to help them be as comfortable as possible. That is why I WONT sign up again now. it is not for me ANYMORE.

As for not offering a bona-fide solution, who bona-fides it? I have offered many an opinion in the past, and even in this thread as to what I fell needs to be done, but they are not popular ideas, as it involves more military, and making young adults choose what hey want to do in the short term after high school, as well as giving everybody an education which will also help with our economy as well as our military. So please do not sit back in your comfy chair, and claim I have no business offering my opinions or beliefs.



just a thought when thinking of war and forming an opinion i think its best to veiw yourself as the man/woman making that decision. So if your obama what do you do? come up with a strategy and stand by it, but to merely say im this and that without a bonafide solution is wrong!


especially when its not your family being theatend by the taliban!

i really just cant take it! i am a war vet i know first hand its not the killing its the dead charred bodies you remember most! its knowing your friend is dead now and wanting to punch back! obviously everyone is different but this is a real issue and it is very difficult no matter how strong you are! The thing is though that is not the case here in my opinion this guy was an extremist and people ae covering that up and trying to say war stress! it was not war stress! he was a traitor to his nation and should be thought of as such! they should wrap him in a pig and face him face down in his grave toward the west!


The problem we are all having though with your belief Ronny, and I understand it is your belief, is that you are basing it off of supposition. You are assuming that you have the facts when in fact you do not. You are hellbent on the idea that this guy can not possibly be anything other than an extremist terrorist. Even though you yourself have stated that it is different for each person and in your case it isn't killing another person it is seeing others get killed or wounded that hurts you the most.


I have to make dinner for my boys, but will be back on afterwards.


it is not supposition if there is evidence! what are you talking about. i have made a conclusion based on the facts so far! you say you need more fine but it does not change my opionion i have enough to form an opinion. hurts you??? lol im not hurt bro gld i did my part! just very terrorfying no matter how strong you are at least i think so!


"it is not supposition if you have evidence" That is my point you do not have "evidence" of anything other than his believing in Allah, and that he shot all those people. There is no "evidence" as of yet to show WHY he did what he did. Thus your opinion is based off of other opinions and frankly in most cases biasses, even if they turn out to be right in the end, they are still not fact at this point!

please! quit coming in here and claiming you are basing off of fact when you are NOT.



okay read the reports get a dictionary and look up the definition of eveidence then get back to me.....jeez!

i really just cant take it! i am a war vet i know first hand its not the killing its the dead charred bodies you remember most! its knowing your friend is dead now and wanting to punch back! obviously everyone is different but this is a real issue and it is very difficult no matter how strong you are! The thing is though that is not the case here in my opinion this guy was an extremist and people ae covering that up and trying to say war stress! it was not war stress! he was a traitor to his nation and should be thought of as such! they should wrap him in a pig and face him face down in his grave toward the west!


First off thank you for your service to our Country. Thank you for posting as well and I agree with you 100%!!! Yes he is a traitor, what is the punishment for that? He is a disgrace and should be disgraced.

roflmbo so hard I need 911 to start me breathing again!

Thomas you old fool, lol you have just contradicted yourself bigger than imaginable.

quoteIn 2009 alone, 15 American Muslim extremists and three U.S. permanent residents have been arrested for their involvement in terrorism cases

The following is a list of American Muslim extremists that have been charged, convicted or sentenced on terrorism charges in 2009.
unquote

the numbers mentioned equal out to only 18 people, yet when you **** all the people you listed it comes out to a whopping 23! That's five more people than were even arrested by your own statements!


Now, I am sure you did not mean to suggest that all of them were arrested, convicted and sentenced in 2009. However, the total number of 23 in an 8 year span is NOT an alarming number, other than being alarming cause any were found to begin with.

One mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter. We could post numbers about domestic terrorists and recruiting groups. The bottom line is violence for the sake of someones beliefs is not a new thing or a muslim thing and it is an extremist thing. We should work towards making it a united fight against extremism instead of using the divisive langage of religion or race which only KEEPS people from uniting.

It's a no brainer that the majority of terrorism commited today is linked to Islam so unless you are going to re-write their Koran I don't know what to tell you.

I am locking this topic up. I have posted 2 warnings in here to keep the debate/discussion civil. I have cleaned up this thread before.

1) Do not attack/slam/insult others. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning!

Please follow up on the rules of the forums.
