What makes you think you know the first thing about fighting a war?
I like to believe that I am capable of rational thought. My rational thought says do not invade countries who are of no threat, and spend countless billions of dollars doing so.
I would not have fought the war so I need know nothing of it.
Also, of course I do not pay "that much" in taxes but I pay as much as many average americans who you are "protecting and serving". You serve me, along with every other tax payer. I think what you are doing is bogus, and feel you should cease. Hopefully enough of your employers (aka taxpayers) will feel the same way and soon you will be out of the middle east.
Cheers

Protect him from what exactly? I'm certain that no countries were planning on invading the US anytime soon, so shut up.
You would be just as free if your countries soldiers weren't in Iraq/Afghanistan
Your argument is really that your military deters aggression, since they aren't protecting you from any current aggression?
All you americans that think your military does nothing illegal/wrong how would you feel if a country invaded you, killed your president, treated you like children and tried to teach you to live their way and blew the **** out of every serving member of your army they lied eyes on, then enlisted your people to join an army to fight your old army and anyone who still favors the old regime. You would probably think it was illegal.
Your military isn't the saviours you think you are (seriously)

nothing anti americaN IM PULLING THE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BECAUSE MANY INCLUXDING JKD HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA WHAT THEY Are talkng bout in it does make you look pretty stupid when you speak of something in a way that is false. Most of you dont understan the way the business of a military really operates n it takes away from the credibility to debate.

I'm not sure how you don't follow me. It's pretty simple. Doing something in the name of following orders does not justify your actions. Get it yet?
I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen to US soldiers, so it's not exactly a justification.
lol, great argument. Hahhaha, I can't believe you just used that reasoning. I wasn't aware Iraq had been planning on blowing up buildings or setting up road side bombs in the US. Can you prove to me how many blown up buildings and road side bombs have been avoided due to the US in Iraq?
What I'm saying is that someone who defends the actions of American soldiers based on "following orders" must also defend the actions of Nazi soldiers on the same basis. Either there is more to it than "they were just following orders," or you really think that being ordered to do something voids you of any responsibility for any action.
And I do understand your analogy.
I don't understand what your inference is. Are you implying that if I hypothetically approved of something because it was a "job" say... being a neurosurgeon, I also approve of ANYTHING that is a "job" (e.g., being a talk show host on a show supporting fat women)?
Or are you inferring that because the being a soldier and being a child-slaver have one thing in common (both are "jobs") then by inference they must have other things in common? If so, what? I think the two have enough differences that the analogy becomes a weak one outside of shock value.
The "shock value" is common in logical reasoning when trying to see if someone is actually consistent in their reasoning. Either giving an action a job title justifies it or it doesn't. It is not only relevant to certain jobs. It's either a justification for actions or it is not.

you still havnt answered my question. You keep dodging it. Please answer.
And anyway, Al-Qaeda is a very visible and real organization with many of its members pledging to serve Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. Hitler's location was often unknown...should we have not fought the nazis?
Now please, answer my original question."I've drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around"

No, government employees don't pay taxes. That's just accounting magic. You're paid by taxes, so whatever you "pay" in taxes is actually just money you're not paid.
Like public school teachers. Let's say you make 70 thousand dollars....and pay 10 thousand dollars in taxes....since they're paid by taxes that would just mean that person is paid 60 thousand dollars.

Yes but its a job. Do you not face repercussions for not obeying your boss. Same applies here. Follow orders or basically fuk your lifes chance of ever having a stable job over again. There is pride when it comes to the country to but overshadowing a mans will to provide for his family is ignorance.

Just to clear something up. We are fighting the same people in Iraq as we are in Afganistan and I believe terrorists should be killed regardless of thier location. My problem with Iraq is that the military's hands have been tied there so that dirty politicians can make more money. That's why I said no police action and no politicians involved in statigic decisions.
