Limon - Don't really care about your reasons. I support the war and the troops.

cool. you support the war and the troops. do you understand why not supporting the war while claiming to support the troops is the most gutless and intellectually dishonest position a person can take? i dont support the war and dont support the tools being used for that war. do you always support the troops if they are following orders? do you believe orders from a civilian buffoon supercede free will? sun tzu said a true warrior disobeys orders from an untrained/uninformed/unjust ruler...can this ever be true for you?

"Troops", as the term is typically used, don't get orders from the President-- that's not how the chain of command works.

I confess I'm a bit unclear why being against the war but not against the soldiers is the "the most gutless and intellectually dishonest position a person can take" -- but probably best to stay on target for the general thread idea.
