    They are far too happy sat behind their computers mate. No point them risking their lives, better to leave it to all the other turkeys. :)

    At lest it's still voluntary...

    Are you free to choose on what side to fight?

    The three of you do plenty enough to support the "resistence" here on the forum. No need to go to far away lands to earn virgins ;)

    If you want to fight for the other side, you'll need to join CNN. They have the best direct source contacts.

    Was just scrolling through the spy and found this thread. Is it true initial enlistments or re-enlistments with time between service commitments.

    Yes, you are. We are always free to make any choice we want, it is just that the government has consequences for certain choices. If you chose to fight against America for a foreign country, that is considered treason, and is punishable by death.

    What a turd. I enlisted in the Marines at 26. The limit was 29. What about you? You're probably younger than all of us. What have you done for your country except bitch and complain? You're part of the problem, not the solution. Why not try being positive for once in your life. You'd be surprised how much more respect you would garner.

    So you do nothing more than any ordinary person does, but presume that paying taxes (not unlike breathing) is enough? And have the gall to ask others do so, so you can steal your freedoms off their backs?

    And thus defines about the highest level of liberal patriotism we can ever hope for.

    Don't worry ferret, you are not alone. Liberals generally are not the ones that serve our country. They are usually the ones that serve to tear it apart. Conseratives typically serve our country and keep the likes of your ilk free to bash them on forums like this one. Not that you would be thankful, or anything.

    Funny, I thought, Soldiers, Sucide Bombers, and all other insturments of war were the problem.

    36 next month.. You can add, at least you have that going for you.

    Closer to 10, but close enough.. My you are good at math.
    Like you would know. You mean you pay all those taxes and do not know? Why are you asking me?

    No, I was running an ISP, as well as helping to set up lines of communications for those attempting to contact loved ones. Google it, you'll find some nice stories on the subject.

    Whoopie... I'm PM'ing you a big bozo button.. You've done nothing this year to further anything positive with regard to our troops, or those whom they seek to protect. All you've done is bitch and complain. So you pay taxes. So do we all. What exactly is your point?

    Please don't answer. My New Years Resolution is to put you on ignore.

    Where did you want me to start.

    The human race.

    Indeed. And we know it wasn't for the benefit of America or our troops.

    Gee, I wonder whose benefit all that bitching and complaining is for? I wonder....

    "but, but, but we're just questioning our government and it's patriotic to do so." in five, four, three, two...

    Very good then they can deploy you very fast to front line. Are you going to join and fight or are you going always be only a cheer leader for those who actually fight and become invalid or die? :rolleyes:

    Are you scared that I ask you the same question about why you don't join? ;)

    Who knows, may be all your bravery and experience in fighting with teenage boys in high schools on your super dangerous recruiting missions, come handy if they send you to Iraq and a terrorist decide to attack you with a book or a pencil. :D
