Fair enough.

This is true, and apologies to you.

I've been involved, and my niece is currently involved.

If you still think we should extend another theater of operations to Afghanistan and Iraq...
then quite frankly...

that is crazy talk.

I'm an 18 year veteran of the USAF Reserves...I was involved in Gulf War I and II and Afghanistan..

I've seen enough myself.

I've personally talked to many who follow the Qu'ran...their main fear is seeing a corrupt Western civilization effect their culture...

Their fears are identical to ours in some ways, they see a Western culture that permits all sorts of immoralities.

Extermination is certainly not the road to a common ground of tolerance.

to conclude~ BLUF (bottom line up front)

We need to finish what is already started, before contemplating yet another theater of war.

I'm not a Liberal, I'm a man of reason.
