Sorry to interrupt one last time, but Birdseye, let me quote my initial post for you: To be perfectly honest, I can't really say whether or not I would be able to enter into combat. On the physical level, I'm in pretty poor shape and have very flat feet, but beyond that, I don't think I have the cou...

I agree with you on that slogans accomplish nothing. The only thing that will accomplish something is well-thought-out action, which I trust in our military to provide. I am also sorry that you have to deal with heavily prejudiced people on a daily basis; these type of people reveal the darker side ...

I don't normally resort to 'name calling' but in this case it's not really name calling in the out-of-left field sense. You support the war in Iraq, but would not go yourself. That's hypocritical, however you slice or dice it. Maybe I could have left out 'wussy', but that's really what it comes dow...

Birdseye, thank you for resorting to name-calling. I could just as easily call you an ultraliberal wussy peacenik, but I choose not to, because I don't think of you in that respect :).

Its simple, there is no such thing as a "good terrorist". Thank you Krom, that about sums up my position :). What I meant by my earlier post is that any coward who deliberately murders innocents to push some sort of twisted agenda, i.e. a "terrorist," does not deserve to live. C...
