I am sorry adl but I find it rather hard to watch people devalue the armed services when people I have known well have died in places those same people have never heard of.
Neither do I enjoy being stereotyped as a warmonger, and I wonder whether you would either frankly.
I don't expect people to like the Army, but I prefer informed criticism to mindless bashing.
Nah mate .. don´t want you guys to missinterpret my reply.
War Issues tend to go afoul VERY quickly .. and we lost already a very contributing member to such a discussion.
I can´t even begin to understand what you must feel when reading such comments, yet I believe you´re a bright guy with the ability to actually ignore them, so at times .. it´s best to leave people in their ignorance*.
In any case, you both made your points now. No reason to keep tossing lumber on the fire right?
*Not saying dragonfx is ignorant ... this is just a generalized comment.
It is easy to get heated over something like this and, as dragonfx and I shall never agree (although sadly our points of view on war in itself probably coincide), we should perhaps agree to differ.
bang ! bang! argh!!! Changing the subject did anyone of you watch "Black Hawk down"? Was a good watch even though pure $US propoganda.
I surely would not want to be a soldier. I am too peacefull to shoot someone or worse get shot. Even though I am in my 20's (just) I will go now & listen to my 4CD "Summer of love" collection. Songs from 60's-70's :-)
Im not trying to offend you not even assuming you pro all wars.
Yet i think its safe to asume that you are morally able to fight one and not neccesarily in self defense.
I have thinked a lot about it and i dont.
Lets agree that both points of view are respectable.

Lol, probably .. as it was a Jerry Bruckheimer production. :p
Personally .. my all time war favorite as of this moment is Saving Private Ryan. I love the Hunt for the Red October too.
