Are you suggesting that we take young people who are anxious to do some good in the world by becomming doctors, lawyers, electricians, etc. and turn them into killers too? Perhaps ruin their minds and their relationships and their lives forever? For What? Haven't you noticed that the real war, the one we fought in retaliation for 911, in Afganistan, is being completely fudged for the sake of this stupidity in Iraq. Tell me you haven't bought all the crap we've been sold from the Bush wackers. Mission accomplished and all that nonsence. Tell me you don't lose focus every time someone waves the stars and stripes in front of you. We have lost our integrity in the eyes of the whole world. How will sending more innocent young lives into the toilet going to help? The war was unjust to begin with. We've been too stupid to pull out. Pride goeth before the fall. Let's take our fall without sending our best and brightest in to save us. They certainly didn't ask for this.
