A Republican military man's quote
Edited on Tue Jun-29-10 03:37 PM by Angry Dragon
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft
from those who hunger and are not fed,
those who are cold and are not clothed."

--Dwight D. Eisenhower

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I do believe that the republicans have traveled far from where they once were.
Where are these republicans today??

1. They're covered under a festering pile of Karl Rove's bullshit
The new GOP reality is "Fuck Americans in need -- there's lots and lots of money to be made stealing the people's money and destroying the planet!"

4. I am just attacking the republicans today
Edited on Tue Jun-29-10 03:51 PM by Angry Dragon
tomorrow I will take on the democrats........

We are in two non winnable wars, serving no purpose except to kill and make money for the contractors.
It is time to end them and let the Middle East get on with their lives.
And as far as rebuilding these countries I feel the people that made money should be the
ones that pay for it.

3. I didn't think there were any more repuke military men.
Most of them were draft-dodgers, or went AWOL, like:

Bush
Rove
Cheney
Limpballs
BlecKKK (sic)

etc. etc. etc.

9. I am not in favor of senseless wars
We are in two wars for no other reasons than because a little boy wanted to impress his daddy,
to gather other countries resources, and to make money for the rich.
This country needs a military that can defend it. Not to invade.
We went to Afghanistan to get bin Laden. In 2002 bush said he did not care where he was, was not important.
That was the time to leave, instead young people of this country are dying because, I do not think
anyone could really tell you why.
Iraq for the oil. .......... I hope that answers your question

11. If I understand you correctly I did not feel you attack me
Was just explaining it was not the military I have a problem with but the Generals and our leaders
that find it so easy to send men and women to fight for material things.
