A Senseless War Begins Its 10th Year

[HELLRAISER]

The U.S. needs to get out of the business of being Big Brother before it's too late...

Nine years ago today we invaded the nation of Afghanistan. I’d just turned 40. I had a Discman and an Oldsmobile and had gotten really into LiveJournal. That was a long time ago. It was so long ago, does anybody remember why we're even there? I think everyone wanted to capture Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. But he got away sometime in the first month or so. He left. We stayed. Looking back now, that makes no sense.

Micheal Moore. Enough said. :eeew:

"Through August, at least 125 active members of the Army had ended their own lives, exceeding the morbid pace of last year, when there were a record 162 suicides." NY Times

-------------------------------------------------------

This continues unabated. I understand that there is a similar problem in the US Marine Corps particularly at Camp Lejeune where the command has thus far managed to keep the media from the bad news.

So far, I have not seen examples of this phenomenon spreading to commissioned officers (Lieutenant and up). If there are such instances, please let me know.

Clearly these soldiers feel they have "had enough." Killing yourself is the ultimate form of protest against something that you don't want to do.

The chickenhawks still aren't getting the message. They want to keep this going.

And yet another senseless thread is made again.

Looks like this is the final straw for the British. You'll probably find close to 100% of the public want us out of there now, whether the rest of the 'coalition' stays in we don't care

And yet another senseless thread is made again.

and yet another senseless post is made by one who superficially supports the troops by not reading about their struggles and reality

 

[~~whimsy~~]

lol you changed to flimsy! OMG! How liberally creative.

I could give you a library worth of proof and you will still find a way to wrap it to fit your idealogy.

Your a liberal fool. You will defend your kind to the death. Its not worth arguing with fringe kooks, on either side of the aisle. :dunno:

 

[~~whimsy~~]

The only thing Michael Moore does for this country is stimulating the economy by buying mass quantities of fast food and tricking liberals into paying to watch his easily debunked documentaries.

War, what is is good for? absolutely nothing! huh war! what is it good for? absolutely nothing! Good god y'all!

Meanwhile the Pakistanis are deperately trying to get the Taliban to call for a ceasefire in order to salvage what's left.

Strike 3! You're Out!

I'm not a big fan of Michael Moore. On the other hand if the biggest fool in the world somehow got something right and figured out two plus two equals four I'm not going to then say he's wrong just because he was such a fool on so many other things.

 

[Baill Inneraora]

Aren't you one of the funny guys who used to change HELLRAISER's name?

But, you whine like a toodler when he does it to you.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

No. I haven't changed his name to anything. In fact I don't put his name in any of my posts.

You're thinking of the other people who call him "Helldoucher" or something else.

And there is not an ounce of whining in my post. Nice try. Move along.

Easily debunked? PROOF!

This is the bit I find hard to believe:
"The U.S. yesterday issued an extraordinary apology to Britain"

 

[PlumpRump]

Easily debunked? PROOF!...

Are you actually denying that Moore uses less than savory editing methods in his "documentaries" to slant the discussion towards his agenda? I guess liberals only get mad when conservatives distort facts and omit truths in an effort to propagate a predestined outcome. Weird.

"I hate that fucking Rush Limbaugh and that douche bag Glenn Beck... why can't they just give us the facts and be straight shooters like that handsome, ever-truthful Michael Moore?" :1orglaugh

You have got to be kidding.

I'm merely asking for proof. Can you provide it? Or are you as useless in that respect as every other?
