Default Re: Supporters of the war in Iraq

There is a certain horrific benefit in being both old and aware of history.

I was there for the "Vietnam era." We sent in "advisors." The French had spent 25 years with their "Vietnam war," and realized, there's no way this particular enemy could be beaten. So, the US took over, first with advisors, then a "conflict." 50,000+ American lives and countless billions of dollars later, we withdrew.

I stand where I always did. War sucks. People die. Take whatever number you *think* might die and keep exponentially increasing it. Same with the financial burden.

Support the troops. They didn't start this shit, they never do.

"2000" men and women died. If that number shocks people...they have absolutely no conception of "war."
