"that's bullshit my views are what I decide is right"
Your views are often contradictory in nature, and in many cases not based on
objective reality.
"risking throwing our country into another Vietnam for a reason even
stupider then Vietnam was."
An opinion. Good parrot.
"Do we loose 10-15 soldiers a week in regular duty?? If so show me the #'s"
Yes, often times we do, asked and answered.
"You can do all your preaching that you served in the military but it
doesn't make you one lick better then anyone else. I've seen studies that
only people who really have no other future enlist into the military you
don't see me using that to say oh you were too stupid to do anything but go
into the military and you were a loser."
I for one hope that the airmen, sailors, soldiers and marines that keep you
safe and warm at home appreciate this line of thinking. Men like Audy
Murphy, Colin Powell, Ronald Regan, John Kennedy, George Washington. Your
supposed civil war heroes as well, that had to reconstruct this country
after tearing it apart. These are the losers you speak of. I have already
expressed that I feel everyone should either have to serve, or not be given
all of the same rights. I do think that military service makes you a better
person. I know it made me a better person.
"And as well as the fact that we're not at war, we're in a conflict because
of our president I saw support given for him to do what he had to do but
we're not in a state of war big difference, though the republicans and bush
administration does not choose to think that way."
Once again your literary skills astound and amaze. I am not really sure
what you are trying to say here. Are you really foolish enough to believe
that we are not at war? Why because it isn't declared?
"Much less I was talking about losses in the military not your former
division alone."
I wasn't either. The numbers I sent in were for the entire army. I was
only using personal experience to illustrate the point.
"People who are a little open minded and do not have a hard head and can
think freely will always change views. Only a person who is stubborn and
does not like change will never change their stances or views on anything.
Back when we were going to invade Iraq I said I guess its the right thing to
do at the time while in the same breathe
saying how terrible the bush administration is because its a fact they are.
Besides if you think about it there will always be 2 sides to the most
commonly held opinion. There will be the republican (Right wing) side and
the democratic (left wing) side."
People who take the time to make a reasoned decision on an issue will not
often change their mind. They will have weighed the pros and cons of the
issue and will usually stick with their ideals and beliefs. That being said,
under factual weight, with information I didn't have when I formed my
initial thoughts, I can certainly change my mind. Also you insist on
labeling me as a Bush supporter. I am not. Nor am I a Democrat. Right and
left are not the only sides to the issues we are facing.
"If you think Clinton was as bad as bush really go fight his war for him and
think you're doing something for a great man who should be on mount
Rushmore"
Honestly, I think Bush has probably done more harm than Clinton. We are
talking about shades of gray now. Why should we continue to choose the
lesser of two evils?
"But don't you dare ever EVER say or even think you are better then someone
because you served in the military because that's a crock of shit dude.
That's elitist crap and its hogwash if I ever saw it."
Elitist. Yes I am. I don't pretend that there are no classes in our
society.
"As for responsibility if someone attacked our country and they needed me I
would be the next person in line to go out but when you have a family you
know its not always that easy to do."
We were attacked. Our military is also dangerously low for men. We do
still have troops in a' Stan you know. The Taliban and Al Quaida are still
out there. As are Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Ansar Islam, The Muslim
Brotherhood, and all kinds of other groups that wish to do harm against
America.
"And my reasons for not going through with Perdue are my own and nobody
else's and how dare you try to judge me because of it."
Self conscious? I didn't know anything or say anything about your
education. I can't. I didn't even graduate high school.
"i'm tim i have access to stats that normal people don't get oh yes we had
so many people dieing in training accidents. OH yes on training duty and
such we always had to worry about the crazy man with a bomb driving into our
building"
I sent in my stats in an earlier email. I do have access to confidential
information, but I could and would never use it in so irresponsible a
manner. Also do you know anything about infantry and airborne training?
Are you saying that I was a garrison trooper? Look at the history of C co
2/505th PIR between 1998 and 2001. At the time we were the most deployed
battalion in the U.S. Army. When did I say anything about bombs? Or
anything that I may have done operationally in the Army, other than mention
what unit I was in, and what training I had to go through to get there?
Tell me Bill, what is LRSD. What do we do? Apparently I am either making
up my career (and I have a DD214 if you'd like it, and jump log) or it's not
hard to do at all. Hell it's basically just the boy scouts with camo right?
Why you Bill? Why can I debate with Larry and Dana? Because they debate,
they have reasons for believing what they do. They don't just spew back
what they heard on the evening news, or around the water cooler. I have
seen you flip flop on issues time and again. I have sat and listen to you
complain about what's happening to you, never hearing about you doing
anything for yourself. I have read your attacks against people on many
different occasions. How does it feel Bill?

that's bullshit my views are what I decide is right and if you want to
be a dick and start putting me down well hopefully you won't die in the
line of duty for a president who
is in risking throwing our country into another Vietnam for a reason
even stupider then Vietnam was.
Do we loose 10-15 soldiers a week in regular duty?? If so show me the
#'s. You can do all your preaching that you served in the military but

that only people who really have no other future enlist into the
military you don't see me using that to say oh you were too stupid to do
anything but go into the military and you were a loser. I was in the
process of joining the navy and in the process of a scholarship to
Perdue and navy rotc but because I opted for a private job doesn't mean
jack shit. And as well as the fact that we're not at war, we're in a
conflict because of our president I saw support given for him to do what
he had to do but we're not in a state of war big difference, though the
republicans and bush administration does not choose to think that way.
I liked you alot but for you to start saying shit like that, hell no.
Much less I was talking about losses in the military not your former

republican side, on bush I'm on the democratic side etc etc down the
line. If you think Clinton was as bad as bush really go fight his war
for him and think you're doing something for a great man who should be
on mount Rushmore.
But don't you dare ever EVER say or even think you are better then
someone because you served in the military because that's a crock of

know I liked you alot but people who put me down and talk shit about me
screw that I don't need that. I'm sorry you're going through rought
times and all but that's no excuse to be a jerk dude, or whatever reason
you have is. As for responsibility if someone attacked our country and
they needed me I would be the next person in line to go out but when you
have a family you know its not always that easy to do. And my reasons
for not going through with Perdue are my own and nobody else's and how

go into the military I am not as good as you? GRR man WTF that was
really upsetting to me with what a dick you were being to me? I mean you
can debate Dana till you're blue in the face but with me you just throw
personal attacks oh yes all the porn and games I jerk off to WTF man
Jesus. And to even think you have the knowledge or even the right to say
I swing to whatever the popular opinion is. OHH I wasn't in the military
i don't know anything, but i'm tim i have access to stats that normal
people don't get oh yes we had so many people dieing in training
accidents. OH yes on training duty and such we always had to worry about
the crazy man with a bomb driving into our building. LOL
Thats messed up

Hey Bill,
There is a check box in Outlook that has it automatically spell check
everything you send out.
"what did Clinton do that came anywhere close to the USA Patriot Act?"
Echelon anyone? http://www.fas.org/irp/program/process/echelon.htm, no
knock searches on federal low-income housing? Mandatory sentencing for
drug offenders?
"i don't recall getting our country embroiled into a foreign conflict
that is starting to stretch on with the looks of stretching on
indefinately."
Kosovo? Bosnia? They don't look to be ending either.
"We might not have had to fight china because of our Last presidents
charisma and his ability to get deals done and work things out"
If you call sending them every single U.S. patent on CDs and selling
them a naval base on U.S. property, through which they were caught
smuggling in hundreds of Ak-47s getting things done. I am still not
comfortable with the counter Intel investigations that took part during
his presidency.
"The current president has been anti-un for the most part"
And this is bad why?
"becoming more belligerant and becoming if you aren't with us you're
aganist us"
That's how I feel. Remember nations don't have friends, they have
interests, and if your not doing what we want, you're working against
our interests.
"You are talking about going back onto active duty do you really want to
be embroiled in Iraq for the foreseeable future with a much more real
threat of dieing on any given day as opposed to standard non-war
footing"
Don't talk about this. You don't know what you're talking about. The
82nd is currently losing fewer troops than it does during regular
training rotations from jumps and training accidents. We loose people
in Eastern Europe, and in Asia, you just don't hear about it. You don't
hear about the people we lose in support of our foolish drug war. You
don't hear about the people we lose in Indonesia fighting Islamists
there. The reason you're hearing about the deaths in Iraq is a
political one.
I don't want to go and fight anyone's war. I want to defend the young
troops we have in the ranks. I want to take what I have learned and
used to try and protect some of my closest friends. Finally, our
country is at war. I don't have to agree with the reasons for that war.
The authorized, constitutional head of our armed forces put them in
harms way. That's enough for me. I am sorry Bill that you don't feel
that responsibility.
Might take away from you're video game and porn time I guess.
I don't know why I even bother arguing with you. You are spoon fed by
the media. Your views sway in the wind with what you perceive is the
most commonly held opinion.
