    I was a Soldier but i was discharged from service.
    The war on terror is not a farce.
    Unfortunately ungrateful Arabs don't appreciate how hard the usa has fought.
    Personally i think America should say fuck it and return home.
    Those Arabs would be crawling on there knees looking for help as they get mercilessly slaughtered.

    You keep making the same tired arguements that have already been exposed as false and fascist in nature. You have proved nothing other than your inability for creative thought. The redundant and absurd nature of your posts only serve to discredit you, but I doubt you have much credibility left with many members of this forum.

    Incorrect. The fact that you do not question your country, but rather make every effort to tear it down while hiding behind the premise of "just asking questions" does not make me a fascist. It exposes your dishonesty and by the looks of it, it seems you are going to take dishonesty to a new level.

    If you'd pay attention to what I'm saying, you might see the light. Perhaps you already see it, and realize that you are not "asking questions" as you claim to be, but rather tearing down your country in the midst of (and seeking support from) people that are adamantly anti-American.

    For some reason, you believe "patriotism" is ceaselessly attacking your country while pretending to "ask questions." As I pointed out a few weeks ago, what you claim to be doing and what you are actually doing, are very different things.

    I'd be happy if he'd ease off a bit. I love my country very much and I take offense when all people do is put it down. I understand he's a disgruntled Veteran suffering from something and I don't take issue with his service. In fact, I have thanked him for it and still do. What I take issue with is all the posts and comments he makes tearing my country down.

    I've invited him half a dozen times to say something good about America. He's made it clear, that is not his intention.

    I take issue with a lot of things in this country. The legal system (long personal story there), the tax system (in a big way), illegal immigration issue, border security and many others. Some of which I've touched on previously. But I don't sell my country out by tearing it down over those issues. That's what's bugging me the most about him.

    We know where you fit right into as well, don't we? As I predicted in those early days.

    You are still welcome to say something positive about America. It might boost your credibility you are so concerned over. Of course, then some might accuse you of supporting Bush if you said something positive :rolleyes:

    Lord knows we can't have that!

    There you go with the same redundancy. Calling people dishonest must be your new catch phrase this week. You seem to be using that one in a number of threads lately. Of course we all now how much you love to repeat yourself.

    You should quote yourself in the next post, like you often do, it will save you the effort of keying in the same tired rhetoric that everyone sees through anyway.

    This is correct. It is redundant to keep pointing out your dishonesty. Unfortunately for you, it backs up exactly what I'm saying.

    Working towards a dozen times asked now. Anything good to say about America? "Too ashamed?"

    You seem very pro war and government desperately needs soldiers, so why were you discharged?

    You should also forgive the poor women and children in Iraq for not sending you a thank you note since they are too busy being dead and couldn't do it. :rolleyes:

    You should start using the copy and paste function if you are just going to post the same "say something good" about the US rhetoric.

    Unfortunately, the things that I think are great about the US, such as the constitution, civil liberties and freedoms are apparently not the same things you like about this country. Sorry if I don't see eye to eye with your fascist tendacies.

    I do not think I have seen a more true statement on this board. False patriotism is one of the most damaging things we have in this country right now. By exhibiting this blind faith, flag waving, no questioning, mantra they are doing nothing but protecting the people the very people that are harming our country. It is a sick feeling I get when I see these people in action, because I know they are chipping away at the foundation of the U.S. I used to think that some may have been paid shills, but why pay them to shill when it is so easy to stir them up for free. Really quite sad.

    Anyways we all know that GT's allegiance is first and foremost to Israel. Maybe that is who is paying him to shill.

    It's a shame that neither you, nor the author of it, actually put it to practice. Or did you see a question here? I've never seen you ask a question of your government either, but I've seen you make some wild *accusations* (9/11 kookery comes to mind).

    It's truly a disappointment when people seek to belittle their country in virtually every post, then hide behind the premise that they are just asking questions. Not only a disappointment, but dishonest.

    I don't believe anyone has said that before, but given your past hatred of Jews and supporting the man that has repeatedly called for their genocide, coupled with your support for Ron Paul (who seems to have serious issues with Jews), it doesn't surprise me. When "blame America first" isn't working so well, blame a Jew instead!

    So you will actually start questioning, instead of tearing your country down? I noticed you still have nothing good to say about America. No surprise there, huh? ;)

    "Damn GTech keeps getting in the way of my bashing America! How the hell am I supposed to turn the world against us when he keeps catching me in lies?"

    You seem to be taking the meaning of "questioning one's government" too literally. It goes beyond simply completing a sentence in question form, but I suspect you are too narrow minded to understand that so I won't bother to try and explain it to you.

    Let's have a little more of your false patriotism. Maybe cheer for the administration a bit then pat yourself on the back. You could go find someone who has posted something negative in the forum about the administration and call him/her a terrorist supporter. That will fix em.

    Or maybe tell me to say something nice about the government, missing the point about the things I consider good in this country such as the constitution, civil liberties and freedoms. Of course, we know you prefer things like the patriot act and religious intolerance and to you the constitution is just a piece of paper.

    Thank goodness there are real Americans here that see you for what you are.

    Back pedalling now? Realizing that your threads and posts are nothing more than attacks/accusations on your country, you've come to grips with what I've been saying...that you are in fact, not questioning your government, but making blatant accusations towards your country. The sad thing is, you probably think that means loving your country :rolleyes:

    Don't let me stop you. You've been doing a great job with it so far. Let's see, ceaselessly attacking one's country is patriotic! Selling out your country is patriotic! You must hate GWB to be patriotic! You can never saying anything positive about your country because it's not patriotic! You can't defend your country from anti-American nuts, because it's not patriotic!

    Yep, you have the market cornered there, that's for sure.

    Government? I've only asked you to say something positive about your country. Unfortunately, you are still incapable of seeing the difference between country and government. I'd never ask you to say something nice about your government, as I don't believe you ever would.

    Real Americans that hide behind the premise of asking questions and ceaselessly attack their own country day in and day out? Yep, there are certainly some like that here. And you are a tool for their cause.

    Still nothing good to say about your country? Not even going to hide behind the Constitution?

    Pfft, what a sell out.

    Im in the Texas NG and no one I know in any branch of the military is purely a bush supporter that believes all the reasons the administration gave for invading. Most soldiers knew when invading that there were probally not any wmds. but the general consensus is Saddam was a really bad man and Iraq is better with him out of power. Of course, everyone in the army except maybe a few bureacrats in DC, knows it was a success until saddam was overthrown and it turned into a peacekeaping mission. It wasnt until a year and a half ago that those in charge were replaced with people that realized you cant beat terrorist guerillas in a war and transformed the army to focus more on strengthening the iraqi security forces and rebuilding the infrastructure seriously. SO basically the war on terror is a farce but the war against the Iraq insurgency is not.

    The people of Iraq are very thankful and glad that the US is over there which is why it pisses me off everytime the news does a story about how its a civil war and so the US should just leave, first its not a civil war when the majority of the people fighting on one side are non-iraqi's and the general Iraqi population wants them to leave. The insurgency is targeting civilians just as much as it does americans so there arent too many iraqi supporters of the insurgency.

    As for afghanistan I havent been there but from what my uncles, who's a cms and went over in the first wave and again this past year, told me afghanistan cant even be classified as third world cause the people there are no more advanced than those 5000 years ago. So to fix afghanistan to where insurgents couldnt use it as a base will take building a new government from scratch, so afghanistan will probally turn into another kosovo.

    I joined to learn how the strongest current military works, and before I joined I thought people in the military were just mindless patriotic gun fanatics but what Im finding out is people in the military question the actions of the government far more than the average person, it could be that they have their lives invested in the country but I really believe soldiers make better citizens. Also they dont just spinelessly blast their government and home countries on forums, they take action and try to make their country better.
