Void comparison. Women couldn't legally serve in the Armed Forces at that time.

For someone with such an intelligent quote in your sig, you seem to suggest that support of the war demands personal service.

Tell me then, who will run the jobs and businesses that provide the funds, via taxes, to support this war if we all quit our jobs and go to Iraq?

I support those who serve in the armed services, my boyfriend did a year in Tikrit. There are ways to support the war effort without actually serving in Iraq. I work in a field trying to reduce violence in the U.S. If my boyfriend doesn't take a job by my side, does that mean he doesn't support the work I do?

Conversely, if you really opposed the war on Iraq, you'd get your butt over there and stop it.

This a terrible argument, no matter how many times it's trotted out, it never stops being an ad hominem fallacy.

This war isnt supported by taxes, it is supported by debt.

Our taxes pay for the interest on our debt, thats probably about it.

Seeing it in hindsight, America, was on the verge of being over run militarily. It would be wise of U to choose your battles much more carefully in the future.

While that difference is important in some discussions and inherently true, it's not really significant in this context.

Lol we took on the strongest in the world and beat them handily. After that, we stood strong against Russia and watched them eventually crumble.

Maybe I just don't understand your point.

I was commenting that there are other ways to support this war than just going and fighting in the army/navy/air force. I think working hard to keep the economy of this nation strong is an indirect means of support.

Your point about the war being paid on direct taxes or debt that direct taxes will pay on doesn't seem to change or address the primary point of my comments.

I may be missing something as I have had far too little sleep recently.

Trust me, I think the war is one giant disaster, and we should never have been there...my only point was that regardless of opinions and reality, the truth is that this is basically a war that we have put on our credit cards and its seriously f'd up.

Sorry if I've caused any confusion.
