i dont condone "...aaron. thanks for the input.<br /><br />i dont condone "blind faith", i think holding opinionated integrity is important.<br /><br />the troops are not "chosen" to do the killing, more like they "choose" to kill. BUT. that is not simply their purpose. we have to remember that also.LFC_Loadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544289385291606136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721768745624158550.post-54390861579472082792010-05-09T16:33:35.605-07:002010-05-09T16:33:35.605-07:00I don't know about the almost reflexive, "...I don't know about the almost reflexive, ". . . whether or not we support the government’s decisions, we should offer support to those troops that are fighting for their nation."<br /><br />These troops are, after all, the ones who have chosen to do the killing. It is also their nondelegable responsibility to investigate the merits of the war they are asked to fight. The stakes are too high for blind faith in government honesty.InfoHedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726727144730953980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721768745624158550.post-42748909668624875352010-04-14T22:20:26.851-07:002010-04-14T22:20:26.851-07:00no worries, and thanks. i enjoy the insightful shi...no worries, and thanks. i enjoy the insightful shit =].<br />we have already completed a follower swap - i follow ur blog, u follow mine. hahah with it now?LFC_Loadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544289385291606136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721768745624158550.post-82626754673078008862010-04-14T22:15:53.973-07:002010-04-14T22:15:53.973-07:00hey, just got your comment, glad you like my blog....hey, just got your comment, glad you like my blog.

Its a hard one to judge, though...plenty of area for debate. I think Vietnam kind of drilled a sense of military respect into the US, so yes, they have come a long way since.LFC_Loadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00544289385291606136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721768745624158550.post-36745688101810670012010-04-13T19:56:42.798-07:002010-04-13T19:56:42.798-07:00I tried to comment earlier...don't know what h...I tried to comment earlier...don't know what happened there...<br /><br />I just want to say that I have family members who have fought in Vietnam, and many people close to me who are fighting in the current conflict. I must say that I think Americans have come a long way since the 1970s. For the most part, people are very supportive of Soldiers, regardless of how they feel about the wars. <br /><br />You still have your incidences of spitting, and protestors (the ones who protest the funerals are the worst) but now-a-days, those people are more of the exception than the rule. <br /><br />This is one thing that I do give America some credit for.Elanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12017270979107113613noreply@blogger.com
