It's even worse. A soldier puts his money where his CICs mouth is. And that is why I can support the soldiers and oppose the war at the same time without a problem. It's not the soldiers' fault that there is a war. And they didn't decide to go to war.

Well said. But remember war = job security for me.

I think there's a subtle difference between supporting the troops and supporting the reasons for going to war.

I completely disagree with my ex-PM's reasons for taking the UK to Iraq. I think he was fundamentally misguided. However, once the troops were there I would support the work they do there. Anyone willing to put their life on the line to defend what the believe in demands respect.

Anyone willing to manipulate that politically should be taken out of office!

That's why lack of war is good - good competition is of essence for a working free market.

into heaven anymore.
They're already over crowded
with your dirty little war,
and Jesus don't like killin'
no matter what the reason for,
And your flag decal won't get you
into heaven anymore."

M1ke,

How's that? You just said you were a lifer in the active military. I didn't know any branch of the U.S. Armed forces has ever had a lay off when things get slow. I know that advancement becomes tougher based on "billet concentration and requirements" but why do you say that war is your job security? Now if you were a civilian working for a defence contractor I could see your point.

So what branch are you in?
