Anybody else think all the black soldiers in Iraq should lay down |
|
their arms and come home? Why are they fighting for this country when they and their families are held in such obvious disregard? I AM PISSED!!!

5. That would be Stupid and Immoral |
|
You do not abandon your buddies and expect them to protect you. You want these soldiers to desert the battlefield? Even if they could "come home", they would be imprisoned in Iraq, on the way or when they get home and would ultimately be a worse burden to their families. High sounding impractical rhetoric is a reflection of blind rage we are used to hearing from Republicans. Don't get pissed, get smart.

But keep the arms readied. If you're in Iraq now, you do not go without your weapon if you expect to live, no matter who you are

8. If it wasn't for the immediate danger around them, they all should. |
|
No matter who they are or what they look like. I've thought that for years, now. Just go home. It's not practical in any way, I know, but I can't help thinking it.

While I was in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968 there were riots going on in American cities. A black friend of mine was from the same city as I was and we both were thinking what the hell are we protecting. Basically, black soldiers were supposedly protecting freedoms that were not alloted to them when they got home.
