So.... the guy you are claiming understands what it's like to risk your life in combat is Barack Obama, whereas the guy who you are saying doesn't is John McCain.....


Yeah.... you may want to rethink your logic, there.

You are not making any sense. Nowhere did I say Obama understand what it is like risking your life.

You are the one who placed the ability to make foreign policy decisions square in the camp of understanding what it's like to risk your life and then chose to elevate Obama over McCain. And frankly, you are still kind of pissing me off on this. Where the **** do you get off telling fellow veterans that they are a bunch of pieces of **** because they support their mission?

I did no such thing.Learn to read.

McCain is a ****en whack job neocon piece of ****.So I can call him a ****en whack job neocon piece of ****.No sane person tries to push us into war every chance he gets unless he is ****ed up in the head or just just ****en evil. Due to him being a former pow I say he is ****ed up in the head. Being a veteran doesn't make him infallible.

Sure. I"ll let everyone read post 66 and come to their own conclusion on that one.

Noted.
 
my opinions on this topic :

1. we should expand our commitment to veterans. no one should go to war or even serve and then get kicked out on the street to be homeless. if you serve, you should be guaranteed employment or enough money to cover your basic expenses for life. that is the absolute least that we can do for veterans, and it's a better use of tax revenue than maintaining a state of constant war for decades.

2. enough pro bono war. if we have to solve a region's problems, that region pays us to do it. and this option should be reserved for absolute critical necessities, not police actions.

3. transition to a peacetime force, and cut spending drastically. for those displaced, hire them to rebuild our own country. time to nation build at home.

4. tell Europe that if it wants a military big enough to nation build and get involved in every regional conflict, then it needs to build and fund one. it's someone else's turn.
