I thought this would be a good place to put this link in. It is an AP article that gives you some information on the WW2 Battleship USS Iowa. this may have been a little while ago or just recently I'm not really sure as it does not give the exact date this happened, but does make reference to the current Iraq war. It seems the good folks in San Francisco don't think the USS Iowa should be placed there as a war memorial because of the war in Iraq right now. I have to ask, are these the same people who are supporting the troops? Sorry if I put this in the wrong place but this thread seemed like a good place for it.

San Francisco Shuns Retired USS Iowa

I just thought I would throw this Youtube video link in here for those who want to see what some in the Anti-War movement think of the US Military. I know we had a debate about this a little bit ago, but I just now ran across it.

That was pretty ugly on both sides. Both groups using the troops for their own agenda/propaganda.

WHen was the last time a US soldier was killed defending the freedumb of his fellow countrymen?

you're still to show that you fight for what you believe in

This recent enough for you? I have a question for you, when the Irish Army was deployed to Liberia to help stabalize that country, did you volunteer to go or did you make it out of the pub long enough to even know they were there?
