Re: The Fools of War

I think war is a dangerous place.

Re: The Fools of War

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Re: The Fools of War

George W. Bush in an interview on CBS News on 9/6/2006:
"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror."

The US has won the war in Iraq, so I guess this is solved.

War doesn't determine who's right - only who's left.

Re: The Fools of War

During World War II, the free-tailed bat caves near San Antonio were guarded closely as part of top-secret Operation X-ray. The U.S. military attempted to train the bats to carry small incendiary bombs and release them in Japanese buildings. During one test, bat bomb carriers escaped and set fire to barracks and a general’s car. The project was scrapped after that.

Well, you can do your part by making your own Bat-House (with The Delicate Sound of Thunder in the background - what would be apropos )

anyone here even been in the armed forces?

opinions?
Yes. I have a Purple Heart and A CIB I picked up in Vietnam.
I've ranted about this before, so let me just say this:
The infantry fight these battles and takes the majority of the casualties, backed up by all the other support troops. When I was picking up my dead and wounded after the battles, I wanted to know if the sacrifice these guys made was furthering the interests of the American people. It wasn't then, it isn't now.
Go look at a badly wounded veteran, or see and smell the dead on the battlefield and you might have a different take on this, or any war.
War is a serious business, and this one is being run by amateurs.

Re: The Fools of War

You are right! War is serious business, and this one is being run by amateurs at the top.
