But I would be willing to pay for a one way ticket to Southern Sudan for you Lonewolf. I am sure you would find it just peachy..such an All American boy like yourself. |
Been there. Kinda dry for my taste, but to each his own.

Well, yes, this is a fair comment. Although the logical conclusion is that anyone over a certain age, who has not served, is unqualified to express an opinion on these points. Is that really what you mean?
In any case, we do have an all volunteer military, you know. This point probably carries more wieght in Germany, for example. (Not that they intend to actually use thier military for anything)

I mean that it's inconsistent for one ideological side to point out lack of service or unwillingness to serve by people on the other side as a qualifier of their opinions, without applying the same standard.

Certainly. Although I think the sort of chest-thumping gung ho crap you see from some people who've never served, or at least never had their ass in the grass under fire is a little more inconsistent than the hand-wringing whiny liberal types. The whiny liberals at least realize they're chickenchokers, and come up with a rationale of sorts for it. The chest-thumpers (if they're hitting that high) don't seem to see it.

Fair enough, no argument from me.

Maybe true. But their economy sucks and I don't speak their language, so no reason for me to move there.
