Iraqi general killed by US

[sunsebb]

I'd have to agree that supporting the troops and supporting the war are two completely separate things...

the war is wrong, not many people here are going to argue with that... but as was said, we're talking about humans... both iraqis and americans... some of both are bad people... many aren't bad people... I've never been in a war zone, but I know that is a kill or be killed environment... especially in an urban geurilla war where you don't know who is trying to kill you or who wants your help... I'm not american, but I support the soldiers... which is to stay I support life...

I don't know about you, but I have a feeling that if I had a gun, and was in a situation where I thought someone was going to kill me... I'd more than likely fear for my life enough to kill them first... if they weren't trying to kill me, at least I can still go home to my loved ones... I know, the other person won't be able to... but the fight or flight instinct is too strong in most people...

but, once again... the war is wrong... without the troops being there, there would be no war... the civil war would likely simmer down after the the occopying force left... not to mention... all this is to "protect america and the world" right? well... when I want to protect someone, the first thing I do generally ISN'T to throw right into harms way...

Hey GP.  i was joking.  i don't want to slap anyone really.  like i said 'pain sucks'.  i am saddened though by idiots flying flags.  reminds me of high school and coaches inciting peaople to aggression.  Yea team!  mindless bullshit.  so you like to fly flags?

[domino]

i guess i got confused.  sorry.  happens sometimes.  we were talking about the support our troops issue and not the flying of flags.  oh well, i am confused an awfull lot lately.  i am confused how people can support the troops but not what they do.  troops are troops.  this is like saying that you support burglars but hate the fact that they steal.  burglars are burglars and troops are troops.
