Republicans on twitter think we need a ground war. I asked each one if they would

[JRLeft]

volunteer to go to Syria. Each one responded with insults.

[think]

1. Always willing to risk someone else's life. But not their own... /nt

[Skittles]

2. I can guarantee you they're all gun humpers too

*COWARDS*

[JRLeft]

3. I asked Larry Elder the same thing, still no response.

[Frustratedlady]

4. You should ask if they would agree to a draft...

They are always willing for someone else's child to go to battle, but it is never OK for their child.

No matter who ends up in that ME mess they have my blessing and support. It was one thing to be afraid of poison gas in Iraq, but imagine facing the possibility of having your head cut off.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. We just spent some 2 Trillion on

one of their damn Wars. Talk is cheap and after that is costs money. BTW,are the Rethugs willing to volunteer their family members for this so called ground war,walk the walk Neo Cons.

[Raster]

6. Republicans are always willing to sacrifice someone else for their wars.

ALWAYS. Tell you what, next war, let's have a draft, with no deferments and no exceptions. Let's send rich and poor, commoner and powerful, Republican and Democrat. No exceptions. No champagne National Guard units. No medical exemptions for a cyst on your butt. No exceptions.

[JRLeft]

7. One just told me my conversation is boring because all liberals quote the same source.

I told him not to be afraid of ISIS, don't give them power.

[griloco]

15. but it's true

All liberals quote (parrot) Fox...or is it the
illiberals? I get confused sometimes...

[gratuitous]

9. That's my policy

If we go to another war, we'll need a draft. All able-bodied men between 18 and 35 get to watch those two big drums turn and their little capsules of death come out.

[KingCharlemagne]

22. Forget a draft lottery. Lets just have universal military conscription. Actually, exempt

members of the working class. But universal conscription for all members of the Parasite class.

[AlbertCat]

12. next war, let's have a draft

If we are fighting anywhere.... draft and rationing and "wartime" taxes.

We must stop pretending we aren't fighting at home...delcared war or not.

[gratuitous]

8. The Twitter-short response

"Can we pay for the last two wars first?"

If that doesn't end the conversation, go with, "We'll need to raise taxes to pay for it. How much will you pay?"

[SunSeeker]

14. Exactly. Not only will they not volunteer to serve, but they won’t even pay higher taxes.

I guess they expect the ground forces to fight for free and if they need medical care after getting shot up, they're on their own. Kinda like how the GOP won't pay for first responders' healthcare.

[onecaliberal]

10. Who ever wants this war needs to suit up and take their families with them.

[JRLeft]

11. ^ This

[world wide wally]

13. Same as it ever was

[LibDemAlways]

16. The biggest warmongers are the biggest

chickenshits. From Cheney's numerous deferments, to the chimp's going AWOL from the Texas Guard, to Trump's explaining that attending a military-like school as a teen is like being in the military...Republicans are, with few exceptions, the most likely to start wars and the least likely to fight them.

[HereSince1628]

21. War is about power which is a lot about wealth which is to elite status

As a consequence, these lovely little foreign wars are promoted by those who perceive a benefit mostly to themselves and their class. Being a beneficiary, they as a matter of course want to be in positions of control and to survive unscathed the implementation of force that they advocate.

Our national state of mind in economics and power is expansion/imperialism which is basically a geopolitical ponzi scheme. Bigger is better because it allows larger piles of treasure under some elitist's control.

Richard Cheney was the quintessential example of that sort of imperialist.

[KingCharlemagne]

23. Your scathing analysis makes one almost long for ISIS to triumph. Almost - nt

[pansypoo53219]

17. will they PAY for this war?

[newfie11]

18. Oh yeah war war war

But someone else go get blown up.

[Vinca]

19. Go to Syria???? First ask if they'd enlist!

The war mongers, by and large, protect their young. It's the peons who must fight and die at their behest.

[Fast Walker 52]

20. fuck Republicans-- a bunch of psychopathic assholes
