You are certainly entitled to your comparison with Vietnam and Iraq. Some see the quagmire and continued wasted lives.
I see it a bit differently.
I note the pardons that were given to the Nazis (can we say Scooter?) or perhaps the complicity of the "main stream media" in the selling of a similar debacle? Hmmm...
Good soldiers are good to the end. Even Himmler had the decency to commit suicide rather than face the blame for his actions. Such is the way of the cowards.

scooter libby is comparable to a nazi? yet another level-headed post by dts on the ultimate evil, a republican.

I kind of knew you'd pick that up. Actually, Scooter wasn't pardoned, he was commuted.
And no, the repubs aren't ALL evil, plenty of dems are also.
Anyone that is complicit with fascists and their "secret" agenda remain so.
Those that justify slaughter, death, and war rather than healing, life, and peace fit the mold. And they do have every right to defy any orders that run counter to their inner conscience. It's their choice, as are the consequences for same.

well, i'll continue to remind myself not to hold my breath waiting for a 'dems are evil-here's an example' thread from you.

I'll do my best.
Lately, I've been looking at the precedent that was set at Nurmemburg by one of Goebbel's henchmen.
So interesting...
Watch out Rupert Murdoch and Fox "News"!!!!!

altho i think the phrase 'support the troops' is a bunch of bs, and a part of commercialism (witness the endless parade of yello, camo ribbons, etc on peoples' cars--wouldn't it be nice if the proceeds went to those same troops-or better yet, the vets) i would have to think there must be more involved than just paying taxes.
but, hard to say. altho i guess it's better than the opposite that went on in vietnam, with returning soldiers and sailors having to deal with all kinds of insults, or worse.
perhaps you can also support the troops by voting for those who show their support, by funding worthwhile things such as care for vets, rather than more pork barrel bs.

Being retired from the Navy 3 years ago, to all those that support the troops my thanks and keep up the support. Its a shame we have a moron in office that sends the troops to Iraq without a valid reason. There were no WMD's found yet and was that not the reason the troops were sent there in the 1st place? Could the real reason be all of the oil in that region? The moron that sent the troops there is from Texas and we know Texas is famous for oil.

Same crew thinks it's a good idea to send $20 Billion in weapons to Saudi Arabia over the next 10 years. Israel is concerned, of course, so we're sending them $30 Billion.

I'm sure a fresh $50 Billion in weapons to the Middle East will help things plenty.
