Reply #66: What you are about to do, what your troops do, does not keep us safe - [View All]

You put us in danger. Deploying to Iraq puts us in danger. 700+ military bases around the world put us in danger. The continuation of the empire - which is what you are allowing - is immoral. You are serving a President who says that "Money trumps peace" -- $$ trumps your life -- $$ trumps the lives of the Iraqis whose deaths you will contribute to.

You are putting us in danger. Have the courage to refuse to serve.

SIR, NO SIR!
SIR, NO SIR!
SIR, NO SIR!

To all the sheeple on this board who are sighing about how Squatch "has to go do this" -- did the German soldiers have to go do what they had to go do? Sure. It's all about loyalty to one's nation. Morality be damned.

"It's definitely an exciting time to be a part of the military." Blood and guts and veins between your teeth? Kill! Kill! Kill!

Have the courage to refuse to serve. Tell your troops to do the same. This is an illegal and immoral war. SIR, NO SIR!

I wish you safety. I wish you peace. I do not wish you success with your mission. I do not respect the current OPTEMPO. What will be good for our army in the long term will be to pull every single member of the military back within our borders as Major General Smedley Butler recommended. After that we need the international community to pass a law similar to the one crafted for Germany after WWII -- so that the American military can never be used except on our own soil in our own defense.
