I'm sure her son really appreciates her actions seeing as he wanted to be over there fighting with his buddies.
If this kid had all the info that has come out now do you think he would still "want to be over there fighting with his buddies"? You make it sound like a paintball game.N8 said:
Let's see some dignified responces to this thread from pro war Monkies and then you can ridicule a woman who burried her son.

On another note, I would be interested to know what her stance was prior to her son shipping out.
While N8 does make war seem like a paintball game or a video game, I have to disagree with you on your first point. My reasoning is this: The U.S. Armed Forces are all volunteer. No one forced the kid into joining. In addition it is very well known what the primary job of a soldier is: to fight a war in one capacity or another. If you do not want to go to combat, do not join the service. If you join the service you have to realize that there is a chance you may find yourself in a combat situation.jmvar said:
But I would like to know what the lady's stance on the war was prior to her son being shipped to Iraq. Not that it would help her situation, I am just curious.
You should be a grief counsellor. "Look you whiny liberal bitch, suck it up".$tinkle said:
Hell, Army recruiting ads make the military seem like a video game, but with college money!
Maybe they need disclaimers at the bottom like tobacco ads do so stupid people don't get all confused?

hey I know its hard for most monkies to understand but SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY...
...and they even do it on purpose... They weren't tricked, lied to, or forced to because they were minorities or they couldn't get money for college anywhere... They just do it, because they want to.
and I think its pretty insulting to infer that everyone in the armed forces is just too dumb to know better...

Yeah, but in contrast, and to amend my 'yyep' to Ciaran above, I was always AMAZED to see, in person, how many people really didn't think about what they were doing when they joined the military. I worked at a place where we trained medic-types to accompany ground combat forces, and you'd see people FREAKING OUT that they actually had to hold and fire (not even accurately) a gun. Partly in the small sense (I'm so scared of the big bang!), and partly in the sense of "oh, ****, I might actually go to that war over there."clancy98 said:
I truly do think (well, know, really) that recruiters reassure people that "oh, you're going to be a diesel mechanic, not a fighter!" without mentioning that they need diesel mechanics in combat zones. So you do get a lot of stupid people-too stupid to look before they leap-who DON'T have any concept of patriotic service (when it counts) in the military. You want to be a diesel tech? Go to DeVry. Want to serve the country under arms? Join the military.

while i agree these people do exist, they're usually the pricks or psychos me & my mates avoided (obviously, i served proudly in the chair force). i joined like most of the guys i knew: needed $$$ for college / escape a bad scene at home / 4 yrs at NVCC to get a "degree". I s'pose for other branches there's: go kill some browns / judge gave me a choice / the mill closed down / mary lou went & got pregnant againclancy98 said:
true, kerry served in vietnam (didja hear?) & he was better than a D student.clancy98 said:
then he must be a prick and a psycho. How ****ing condescending can you be? How completely insulting for you to read that post and then in response say, "Well, anyone that wasn't tricked into the military is a prick and a psycho" Well One of my close friends and my cousin's husband are over there because they felt it was their duty. But thanks for ****ing insulting two loyal and patriotic people whom you've never met before.$tinkle said:

Clancy mate, vitriol is good but settle mate.
you all done, princess? good. understand my post was a peek inside the air force contingent of the military, who make up - what - 1% of of boots on the ground? "chair force" was a subtle hint at my self-deprecation.clancy98 said:

Sorry Clancy of the Overflow I'm still laughing that El Stinko thought "warrior poets" was serious. That's funny.
BTW- you frother wanker. Sorry that just slipped out.

plainly, you are able to recognize that we both purposefully have links which are antithetical to our mindsets/philosophies. i quoted yours to point out sarcasm doesn't need justification, as you implied mine did.clancy98 said:
