Religious Fanatics and War

Secondly, noone put a gun to their head to sign on the dotted line. They put themselves into that situation willingly. They either bought the propaganda or the "promises" of the recruiter. Either way, they're sweating their buns off in the 110 degree heat for making that decision. I didn't make it for them.
Third, I should be "ashamed"? Why? Because I speak the truth?
If you say I'm "dumb" for calling out the carnage that has been caused...
I don't think there's much more to talk about.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the United States put German leaders on
trial for going along with the decisions of their nazi leaders? Is Saddam Hussain on trial for exactly the same now?
I can't wait until Geo W shows up in the Hague to answer for his actions.

Shame on me??? I don't think so. I didn't make this tragedy...and it's not for me to answer for it.

You are ridiculous. By your reasoning anyone in the military is an idiot. Who do you think protects your country? George W is an idiot, but he isn't Saddam or Hitler. You are out of control with this liberal nonsense. You live in a little fantasy world where everyone is nice and there is no need for a military. War is never right, you need to talk things over, etc. War is terrible and never good, but it is sometimes necessary. Thank God George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Wilson, FDR and Truman realized that. Next you are going to tell me Truman was a murderer for dropping the bomb.
