I don't have a problem with our country's militairy, and I respect them for the job they do, and the risks they take to protect all of us. But I have nothing but distaste for the way both sides can go about senselessly killing, and injuring one another without remorse.
Well said. My biggest problem with your earlier statement was the part against the troops. They are just doing the job that they are ordered to do. I support them.

You definately do not have to agree with the government or it's commanders.

Here is a thought however. If we were to pull our troops out of Iraq tomorrow and bring them home, do you think that they enemy would stay over there - or follow us here? Where would you prefer to fit the enemy, halfway around the world in another country, or in your own Gwinnett county schools, churches, malls, etc? What would you say if we had suicide bombers blowing up the schools, malls, etc - here? Would you be outraged if a terrorist blew himslef up and took out you mother or sister while they were buying grogeries at Kroger, or praying in church, or shot you father while he was working his job? If we do not finish this, that is what we will be doing. These Islamic fundamentalists have vowed to make this a world ruled by Islamic law. That means that you would be given a choice: convert to Islam or be executed (usually by beheading with these guys). There is no gray area, no compromise, no respect for others beliefs. These are not your typical Muslims that live normal everyday lives here in America. These people believe that if they kill themselves and take you with them, that they will go to Heaven (remember their motto - Death to America). There is no rational thought there, and they cannot be reasoned or negotiated with. With that information, how would you suggest we end the fight and exit Iraq now?
