Wars create jobs and money, plain and simple.

Bristoe, have I told you how much I appreciate you lately?

Damn right!

Forget all about that cash fer clunkers chit!

Can you imagine what would happen to the unemployment rate if you dumped all of them young soldiers into the work force?

Our economy needs stimulus, dammit!

You can't stimulate the economy by shutting down the industries which crank out war material.

It's pretty much the only manufacturing which still exists in America and it *must* be protected!

You can't be shutting down no wars when 15 million people are out of work!

Thank you. I am very proud of him. He is a true patriot and I am just afraid that his honor will be abused and betrayed by his president. I trust the USMC though.

I'm not the problem,... but you're a bright fellow.

I'm sure you realize that somewhere back there in the rarely visited portions of your consciousness,....

I'm not sure what you meant by that, I was sincere.

I just caught a little of the tail end of this thread...

We are conflicted, confused, and proud as a Nation...

We did this a generation ago, and we screwed it up...


Tell your son that whatever his Commander in Chief does, whatever the brass does...
That we support him...
That we are enormously proud of him...
and that we want them all to come home, thats all...

The lobbyists who roam the halls of Congress representing the military industrial complex aren't interested in fighting wars,...just prolonging them.

When nothing seems to make any sense,...like the war in Afghanistan,...follow the money,...always,...follow the money.

DITTOS +1

That's why we don't fight wars any more but rather police actions. With a police action you can keep it going on, and on, and on, and on, and on,.........

Thanks. As you know he only wants to serve the country. Politics mean nothing to him.

When you put the word in quotes I assume you mean to refer to people who call themselves conservatives but actually are anything but. That's the usual use of quotations in this sort of context.

I suspect they would hammer him, however we will never know, as it is obvious that he will contenue his legacy of doing nothing.
