Re: RE: America at War
With all due respect, you are not being accurate at all. With the exception of Vietnam which was a 30 year war, I know of no other war we started and never finished. Or even paid to help rebuild for that matter, which one are you talking about?

Very funny. Would you like me to say the same for fallen Canadian soldiers? They were to stupid to duck?

No sweat, we all get caught up. I don't think anybody on this board cheers the death of any soldiers.

I wouldn't be so fast to mention that ITN. I think a lot of people on this board relish in the deaths of US Soldiers and Marines.

Re: RE: America at War
You know there is a difference between not admiring a particular governemant or the reasons for war. Enjoying soldiers die, or anyone dying in violent conflict for that matter is never relished by those who are not in the conflict...unless you get off on that sort of thing.
The soldiers are just doing their job, it's too bad they're employer is a nut.
