I don't think I will ever understand you man.

First of all, it's not like the theories they make are absolutely out of this world, but even if they were, you're saying that if you're in front of a "Elvis is on the Moon with UFOs" person you'd start calling him names because what he says differs from any common sense and sanity? Or is it an attitude you reserve to internet forums?

Yes, it is. It's completely ridiculous

If someone tried to sell that to me I'd have no problem telling him that it's idiotic to his face. I do it all the time when people try to justify the Iraq Disaster.

Seriously? In America? As much as I agree with you on the Iraq disaster, I'm surprised you still haven't been shot man lol

Why? Most Americans now realize that it was an idiotic mistake.

Maybe you would like to come and tell the members of my regiment who had mates who died there, to their face, that it was a mistake...

i think something similar will happen



but with all due respect to your fallen comrades, if history has taught us one thing, it is that every war is a mistake.

I had no problem telling it to a Navy SEAL in the O Club at NAS Oceana, I'm sure I'd have no problem telling it to your buddies.

The fact that lots of people were killed for nothing does not make it less of an idiotic mistake, it makes it MORE of an idiotic mistake.

I don't care who you told it to before.. if you were to come the same attitude in our mess, you wouldn't have the same outcome.
In fact your brazen attitude, regardless of the politics would guarantee it.. You can pm me.. I'll even arrange it, then you can spout off as much as you like.
If you don't like the idea of coming to the mess, you can say the same to me in person..

I'm not interested in politics, like any soldier, we just go and do our job when told to.
But there are too many people on here that spout off believing there is going to be no consequences to what they say, just because its on 'the internet' and it makes it impersonal.
I'm more interested that someone believes they could just walk into another persons country, establishment, and tell people who risked everything, and some paid the price, and tell them they died in an 'idiotic war' and walk away unscathed.
That is a blatant, arrogant, uncaring attitude, that would be recieved and delt with accordingly..
I've spent alot of time working with many foriegn military contingents, and I would never go into their establishment and arrogantly tell them what I thought..

Sorry if you don't want to hear the truth about that disaster. You might want to avoid the internet for the next 20+ years.

By the way, you might also want to read up on that "freedom of speech" bullsh!t. It's one of the things you're supposed to be defending.
