1. Pat wasn't ever in Iraq
He was murdered in Afghanistan.

As far as when will it end, apparently NEVER.....

2. I guess that's right -- I'll have to amend. But then which war was "so fucking illegal"

3. Pat was calling the Iraq War illegal, which it is
but I suppose the one in Afghanistan would be considered more legit since we were going after Osama.

I generally am against all wars.

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all

War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives

War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives

I said, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it's got one friend
That's the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away

Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way

Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it

War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing

4. .
"but I suppose the one in Afghanistan would be considered more legit since we were going after Osama"

I thought it was legit because it was sanctioned by the U.N.

6. Pat went to Iraq first.
He was supposed to go to Afghanistan, but was deployed first to Iraq. That's where he made the "efing illegal" comment. Later, he was transferred to Afghanistan, and that's where he was killed.

7. Thanks for the clarification
All this time I thought he only served in Afghanistan. My bad.

Sorry about that villager, you were correct from the beginning, I hope you'll accept my apology.....

Facts are a good thing, and I'm glad I was corrected.
