Reply #75: Amazing how far this flew over people's heads. [View All]

I, too, am against Rangel's little "point".

What's even MORE amazing is the "alternatives" by some of the more gamblin' kind on this site -

"To continually recycle our current troops into battle over and over again?"

"To ask our nation's poor to fight over and over?"

Oh. My. Fucking. GOD.

THE ALTERNATIVE IS STOPPING THIS ILLEGAL WAR, PERIOD!

THE ALTERNATIVE IS KICKING OUR FUCKED UP ADDICTION TO MILITARISM, PERIOD!!!

Then, there would BE no more recycling troops or asking the poor/working class/everyone else to bear the burden.

Why is no one suggesting this, as if it's not an option to be peaceful and only an option to talk about more military action, as if THAT'S going to stop a war?

Because aggressive militarism has gotten America SO far in the past 30 years, let me tell ya.
