I'm right there with you in the throwing up stakes....

One reason I don't go get a career in the army is cos I don't want to get paid for killing/possibly being killed. It's called an informed choice.

Thanks. It's easy to take freedom for granted. It's hard as hell to get it back once you've lost it.

well, im a United States Marine, and khan, that was brilliant. i am completely for the US bombing them, and hope we continue. i know we arent going to stop there, and i hope that this action can possibly stop terrorism. i know that this isnt possible, because there are always cowards who will feel threatened by countries and people who are better than them. all Bin Hiden is gonna do is go down in history as the worlds biggest chump. he can only hide for so long, and if he sticks out that ugly-ass dome of his, some sniper (wish it was me) is gonna take it off with a gift from Uncle Sam. im talking to my wife too, debating on whether or not i should go back into the military, and volunteer for duty in Afghanistan.

to all of you who are against us bombing. im not chopping on you at all, so please dont take this that way. i dont understand how people are against us RETALIATING!!!! it was war as soon as the first plane hit. we didnt choose to have cowards crash planes into buildings. 5000 lives were wasted, and MILLIONS of lives have changed. i am without a job, because of cut-backs in jobs. not to mention the 5000 families who are now without some family member or another. what of the GROUPS of relatives in the planes, who's families lost a large portion of their lives. what of their families!? are they to live, knowing that their loved ones were murdered, we know who did it, and yet nothing was done about it? then there are the others who say, "look what osama did, i bet we can do that too." because of the bombings, we have dealt a HEAVY blow to bin laden and terrorism in general. no, it isnt going to stop, but it will for this group, at least for awhile. yes, inoccent lives will be lost, but you know what that is called? those lives are called CASSUALTIES OF WAR!! it happens. its not like WE initiated the attack, we are only defending ourselves. again, this post is not meant to offend anyone beliefs. i am just offended that people would be against what we are doing there. thank you all for your time.

You are welcome, and to all that have served Thank You!! My freedom will be taken from my cold dead hands, an informed choice also.
