Oh...my....God. Quote from some idiot puke on a forum I post at.

"Please....if people didn't want to die, they shouldn't have signed up to be in the military. It's what they do. duh!"

1. I'd write:

Our service men and women signed up to protect our country - not the oil companies.

Would you die for Haliburton?

6. that's all she wrote!

2. I understand your objection...I also understand his point.

Depending on what he was replying to, of course...

If you join the military, especially in wartime, it's not unrealistic to expect that you may get shot at (and die).

3. holy shit!

That just pisses me off. My cousin went served in Iraq and is going to Afghanistan soon. I almost went into the military, I couldn't get in because I blew my knee out and had my shoulder reconstructed, so I failed my physical, but I assure you I didn't plan on signing up because I was suicidal. It's a good way to start a career, get money for college and serve the country you love, wanting to die has nothing to do with it. What an effing idiot, people like that should be beaten on a regular basis, just on general principle.

7. It's sad isn't it....they rail on about "supporting the troops" and say shit like this. n/t

[Just-plain-Kathy]

4. Like you, I post at another forum where republicans post as well.

It drives me crazy when they say the soldiers who are fighting now are doing so by their own free will. ..."They enlisted", "What did they expect?" :mad:

5. I've seen much worse

[and-justice-for-all]

8. What an ignorant fuck...

You do not sign up to DIE, fuckwad. the military if suppose to be for DEFENSE, not offense. It is also called the NATIONAL GUARD for a reason.

9. I bet his family has a "Support Our Troops" sticker on their SUV...but they don't, obviously. n/t

10. as my family member sneered when I expressed outrage at the number of

dead sons and daughters in this war, "They VOLUNTEEEEEEEEEEERED."

It was all I could do not to smack her.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. And their commander in chief LIED to them! Guess that fact was lost on your family member?

[Flying Dream Blues]

12. I had already said that! But she believes the WMDs were moved or destroyed, or

something like that. It's truly like talking to a wall.
