It's the real thing baby, a metaphor for capitalism.

We were only there for Vietnam's oil anyway.

Vietnam was going to switch over to Euros, they had it coming.

I think Cheney was on the board at Coke.

If it's a battle of cultures, we will win because we have addictive high fructose corn syurp.

Does Cheney hold McDonalds options? $20 says he does, man this just gets more and more seedy by the minute.

HBR/ Halliburton is where the food comes from, no contest contract. I think they do get McDonalds though them. Most likely $200 Big Mac's..............and lots of $50 Cokes.

Not sure if Coke was the Kenedy drug of choice...but it probably does not really matter

You mean Bush, or are you having a FLASH BACK ?

Disgusting man,that just turns my stomach. Power to the people!

Hate to break it to you, but we were making parallels between the two wars.

so when are you going to fight the fight?

That is obviously just a cop-out and a sad argument...Just an attempt to end a debate you cannot win otherwise. Having an opinion that laws should be enforced or fires put out do not require that one become a policeman or fireman either.

Similarly, SUPPORT OUR POLICEMEN AND FIREMEN! Withdraw funding for their patrols and fire trucks. Leaving the station is what gets them killed.

well , no it's not, it's easy to be "we gotta fight this war and those who say otherwise aren't thinking to defend our great nation"

but that's all very easy if it's somebody elses legs getting blown off....

You're smart enough to see how cheap that argument is. The underlying statement is "unless you're on the fronlines taking fire you can never vocally support any military action".

Which is an asnine statement. So why be so cheap about it? Why not make a real argument?

you're confused

the mission of those in the field is usually short and task based
eg, go from point A to point B patrol for baddies

or, defend point X

or , do this, do that...

the mission, the one that you say requires time, that's the mission of the Generals and War planners, far from the front

them's the one that need time, time that's payed for in blood by grunts AT the front.

i never said that, didn't say , any military action

but for this Iraq thing, that wasn't even valid to begin with, for a war that was A a side track distraction from "get OSAMA" B was poorly thought out... as in , what to do AFTER the invasion C had caused more deaths, or at least equalled what happened under Sadam and D caused more Americans to die then 9-11 (wich is still unrelated to IRaq)

so 4 arguments, that make my argument about "not defending it's validity unless you are going there to get your own legs blow off", a good one

No, but the exact same argument could be used in response to any military action yes? That's what makes it cheap.
