Nobody wants to be over there but it is our job and we do as we are told. $ weeks of liberty after being in Iraq for a year aint S_it. What do u know. If they even come home alive or able to enjoy those 4 weeks and not suffering from PTSD from watching your buddies die or worse yet stuck in some hospital because now you have no arms or legs. What the f*** do you know. I just came back form being there for a year.

From this post I think you are indirectly insulting this man. So what if he's a reservist? He has a frame of reference you can't even begin to speak from.

If your friends love being in Iraq, more power to them.

In the mean time, check your spelling.

I never said the marines did not want to be over there they inlisted with the knowledge they may be put in harms way, I was making the point that it just looks poor for the president to be away from Washinton for a months time while country is at war.
Do not try and paint me as some one who is not thankfull for those who serve in the millitary, I know many people in the millitary and they have never spoken an ill word of the president. I make it a point to thank every person in uniform I come in contact with.
What about politics do I need to be educated on?
Don't just read a post, read and understand before flamming someone.

Oh please! The jar heads I know WANT to be over there. They will get 4 weeks of liberty when they get back from deployment. You know as much about what the US military as you do about politics doncha?

N8's idea of politcal "education" is Orwellian at best. Don't take it to heart.

No I am not a Reservist. I have been on active duty for 11 years. I am a lifer. Your friends that want to be in Iraq probably are young dumb and full of cum as the expression goes. I am an ARMY Medic and I have witnessed first hand what is going on over there. Don't believe the BS you see on TV. N8 you are sadly mistaken my friend.

The latest report I saw suggested 30%+ of the troops returning for Iraq have serious mental problems, A large percentage have full blown PTSD. Because of improved body armor the casualty rates are artifically low, you either get scratched or maimed/killed. As of today 1829 dead, 7118 wounded but returned to duty, 6651 Wounded and not returned to duty (mostly crippled/maimed), and at least 60,000 with serious mental problems.

I see these kids on T.V. and I can't stand it. Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old, not even old enough to legally drink. We're screwing up a lot of people, permanently. PTSD never really goes away, I know. Of the guys I served with, Roger had night terrors so bad he was forced out even though he wanted to stay. Chuck started sleep walking, very dangerous in the military, and was forced out Doc ended up in the psych ward, after he tried to kill himself. My friend in the Marines, has full blown PTSD. I have another friend, a Navy Commander, who seems to not be affected at all. I still have friends in the military, what they tell me about Iraq isn't pretty.

If the average holds during Mr. Bush's vacation, about 90 US military personnel will be killed, 450 will be wounded in Iraq.

The army is having trouble meeting it's recruiting goals. They'll now accept people into middle age. I suggest the Bush/Iraq war supporters put their bodies where their mouths are, and go enlist in the army. If not you should shut up, and stop telling people how it's a piece of cake, it's a great job, and everyone wants to be there, because you obviously dont.
