You'll sing a different tune when that war over there lands on AMERICAN soil and without us being there it would of already happened. My grandpa was in the civil war, my uncle in Korea, my brother in Vietnam and my son in law is just coming back from Afganistan. So my opinion isn't because I want war, I'm not republican or democrat, Yes I do Have questions, I get to ask them because I'm FREE.
Without our service men and women we wouldn't HAVE that freedom. Think about that the next time you pick up your kids at school and drive home safely without fear of roadside bombs, or when you go to the church of your choice.
Freedom isn't free and when people stop protecting that freedom, we're all going to live different and more tragic lives. God Help us

alpha_cat--NO I can read, I never even hinted that they didn't have a right to their opinion. My point was that if all the people protesting the war get their wish and that war ends over there,it could very well wind up being fought on AMERICAN SOIL, most of the current generations have never had a war going on our American soil. I worry that if we pull from Operation Freedom and leave them to shoot at each other, which I don't have a problem with as long as they stay over there to shoot at each other, but they hate American people for what ever reason they believe.
so when all of our troops are pulled from over there, be prepared for another 9-11 or oklahoma city bombing.

I haven't forgotten that Japan bombed pearl harbor, nor that Vietnam was never declared a war, only a police action, but I was there at the airport when the service men and women got off the plane in Fayetteville/Greenland Arkansas at Drake field and the protesters where lined up on the tarmac and spitting on my brother and calling those boys "baby killers" as they got off the plane. I WAS THERE. I SAW IT. so don't tell me that I don't know anything about what happened when our people came home.
I don't like our service men and women being there anymore than anyone else does,But I feel it is a necessary stand.
I also didn't MISS that in the article it was stated that "His grandfather, former State Rep. Lloyd George, D-Danville, served almost 30 years in the Legislature before resigning in 1997 after he pleaded guilty to federal mail fraud charges." which indicates to me that these boys may have a less than good role model of why this country is free, of WHY they were in Afgansistan. No where in my post did I ever even hint that they didn't have the right to their opinion. I just don't happen to agree with them OR YOU! I don't think they deserve the publicity they are receiving and I don't think I'll be supporting them on their protest.

You people just want to argue, you've done no research, (YES I have) you think you'll be able to fight on your own? Where you gonna get the guns bubba? Where are you going to get the ammo? Have you purchased any ammo lately, how about guns have you bought any guns? Well I have and it's TRIPLED in price not to mention the number of ammunition plants that have been shut down and the work shipped overseas because it’s cheaper to make it there. People are buying guns and ammo for protection, but if as YOU say it’s all a scare tactic, why do they need it? I’ll tell you why, because it’s not an old scare tactic. No one thought that Japan would bomb Pearl Harbor either but it happened. Who would of believed that terrorists would take over four of our own airliners and cause the havoc and destruction and death and suffering. but it happened.
SO Humble; You just keep right on believing your peace now stop the war chant is going to fix anything; So if they pull all the troops out of there and the war breaks out here on American soil I promise you that I won’t try to protect you since you think you can reason with terrorists.
I pray to GOD I'm wrong. I will stand on top of Bud Walton Arena and tell anyone who's listening that I was wrong. I’ll be delighted to be wrong. I PRAY to God, that I am wrong. But in the meantime. I'm supporting our military personnel who are over there.
