Bodies aren't part of economics. Maybe I'm coming too much from my stomach and my heart, but I'm sorry.
We find ourselves fighting a war we don't have the political will to win. In panama over 300 American soldiers were killed in 3 days. It was a victory. In Grenada almost 200 were killed in a week. Now we bitch when 90 are killed in a month? War sucks. We all know that. I don't care about the differences at all. I wish we had American terrorists that would go over there and bring the fight to the Saudis and all the others that send money to the terrorists and insurgents. I'd join that shit. Hell. I'm seriously considering going back on active duty. I'm really not good at being a civilian, or much of anything else other than a soldier. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 12:29 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Read and discuss amongst yourselves > > > > tBone wrote: > > I just don't care to talk about it anymore :) > > > > Here's where I think the policy difference is between many: > > 1.)
