And rightfully so. Why would you join the military in the first place if you weren't expecting to go to war..?

Indeed, you are right. I was just clarifying what the other guy said.

That's OK, moonbat Kucinich, because "elected officials" like you should never go anywhere near the great US Marines, soldiers, sailors, and airmen!! What a jerk, he thinks he can "bless" anyone with his presence.

Respectfully, Your ignorance is a product of your age but more likely caused by your blind following and total lack of research and ability to recognise the factual truth in any political scenario.
Sorry dude but you shoot yourself in the foot every time you post.
Keep on drinkin' the kool aid.

In other words, anyone who criticizes in wartime is a traitor. Only right wing sh#t brains who suck corporate dicks and bend over and take it up the ass from the military should talk.

It's going to take a lot of TV-watching to get that image out of my mind.

Now, you know that's not true and you know that's not what I meant.
Nice spin. Did everybody interpret that the same way?
If you are in the service and refuse to go, you get a Courts Martial. If you are found guilty, yes, you can and may be put to death. You will at least get a loooooooong prison term.
[quote]Then how is it that you post on this forum and are not in jail or six feet deep?[quote]
Because I was in the Marine's during peace time. '75-80'.
People join the military for different reasons. For training or schooling because this government has put schooling financially out of reach for some people or maybe for a paycheck or maybe they drank the kool aid. In case you don't know, there are a lot of poor in this country.
I wonder...what will your argument be after the draft is reinstated?

My prediction is Superdude will twist what I have said into a strawman and go on the attack at what I didn't say with no indication of reading my post or responding to content.

They are fuggin' experts at it.
They spin, cloud, distort and down right lie to get what they want and it's never for the Peoples gain, just corporate gain.

as long as you support terrorism and terroristic ideals, our country will not deal with you. the democrats seem to want to let these ideals in to our society

You're wrong. As long as you don't support terrorism and terrorists that do not benefit the powers at be will you not be tolerated. Why do you think we don't like Hezbollah and Hamas are considered enemies even though they were elected democratically? If you don't think like the powers, then you are the enemy. Why do you think Osama bin Laden is still at large? The powers have benefited from 9/11 more than al Qaeda has. Because of that incident, we now don't have TRUE freedom of speech and our Fourth Amendment rights are being violated. For those that aren't up to date with the constitution, the 4th amendement protects the citizens from illegal search and siezure. Thanks to the "Patriot Act," the FBI, CIA, and any police agency can search any of your belongings wothout warrent and without telling you they were there. SO don't call Kucinich a traitor when he prefers the diplomatic choice over the war choice.
And this is just for you Superdude. Abraham Lincoln was one of the worst presidents the United States ever had. He did more to dismantle the Constitution than any president before him.
