    Our troops are there to continue to ensure OUR rights, not Aussie rights, so (*)(*)(*)(*) him anyway. I tire of this anti-American sentiment from lesser nations. We need to start looking at them as the trash they continue to prove themselves to be.

    Actually, this is "utterly disgusting":

    "Twelve American soldiers face charges over a secret "kill team" that allegedly blew up and shot Afghan civilians at random and collected their fingers as trophies."

    You might wish to reconsider your use of that term in the future.

    Oh snippets, that's impressive, is your intellect so stunted you cannot actually use or understand all the words? No fears, I'll forgive you, this time.

    If "packages from home keep soldiers sane", maybe someone should send this guy a whole truck load:

    "A military court-martial Thursday found Gibbs guilty of murdering three Afghan civilians, illegally cutting off pieces of their corpses to keep as "souvenirs" and planting weapons to make the men appear as if they were Taliban fighters killed in legitimate firefights."

    http://articles.cnn.com/2011-11-10/justice/justice_soldier-murder--rial_1_gibbs-three-afghan-civilians-phillip-stackhouse?_s=PM:JUSTICE

    Too late maybe?

    My opinion of your posts stands. What's odd is that you never, ever mention the good that US forces have done in Iraq and Afghanistan. Actually, it's not odd considering the oddities that are your opinions.

    Trash is trash, these people that bash on all things American care naught if any good is ever done, they care only of trying to tear us down. Whether is because they are jealous, envious, or just plain stupid has not been determined, but it will continue so long as their sad and pathetic nations cannot reach our status.

    Not odd. The bad far outweighs the "good" (if there really is any).

    Yes, as your finger-cutting soldier buddy has shown.

    You're doing a perfectly good job of that on your own. Go America!

    Why hasn't it been determined yet? Surely a nation of such superior intellect would have figured it out by now. Lift your game boys.

    Mmm, so many nations striving for that "status".

    Ummm finger guy represents about 0.000005% of the US military. Figures that such a minute figure would be enough to attempt to bastardize the other 99.99995%. Very impressive. You have learned well, reality is nothing when it comes to propagating idiotic liberal thought. Bravo! Seriously, very few would be so stupid, but you pull it off with almost admirable skill, well not really...

    Its not about Go America, America is already there.

    Any nation that does not strive to become a Superpower or at least a near equal to the US, probably shouldn't even exist, as it would have to be populated by second class losers with no ambition at all. Please, simply remain pathetic as a nation, you are not worthy of attaining greatness and won't. Just wallow in your failure as a nation, but do us the favor of doing so silently.

    Oh, puhl-leassse! :roll: Please don;t make a mockery of the military mission of protecting America!

    Invading Iraq does not do ONE thing positive to protect our freedoms! (And does MANY things that are negative)

    There are many good reasons to support our troops in the field, no matter where they are, but currently that deployment has NOTHING to do with "protecting our rights".

    Our right to be free from terrorist attack. There are many positive aspects to our mission in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I can't help it that some people are so ignorant that they can only focus on the negative results.

    Meaning that Obama should not be putting US troops in Africa or bombing Libya?

    We would love to stay out of other countries, except liberals like you haven't the guts to stand up to tyranny, so the United States has to come in to save your sorry asses. I think we should allow all dictators to do what they do and slaughter the masses, because all we end up with is people like you.

    You deserved to be pawned like the coward you are.

    When the wars first began, our troops had next to nothing, and people around here made it their mission to send care packages filled with anything our great men and women could possibly need, from toilet paper to phone cards to cameras.
    Why someone, who probably wouldn't have a problem aiding and abetting the enemy, is against sending a bit of love and comfort to those who are sword to defend his right to spew nonsense, is beyond me.

    I think the real reason is liberals are stingy. They love giving other peoples money away, but when it comes to being generous with their own money, conservatives outdo liberals two to one.

    They are indeed a pathetic bunch

    Some people are just hateful, esp toward those with whom they don't agree.
    Not sure if that is just a liberal thing though, and I found stingy folks on both sided of the political spectrum when I went to collect funds and goods.
    Some folks can't help but think too highly of themselves and their ideology, and forget more important matters in life.
    Those who give/gave gained great satisfaction, and are the better people for it.

    I wish there was a way to just revoke these sissies' military protection. Like there was some way the military could still do their job that would not involve protecting these specific people. Theoretically, you could do it with cops, but it's not quite as practical with the military.

    You cannot defend yourself with flower power. And people teaching at universities should know this. If they do not, then they are not qualified to be teaching anyone because they have failed to comprehend a very basic and valuable life lesson that they should have learned when they were ten years old on the playground.

    I couldn't agree more, there are bad on both sides, but the liberals continue to out weigh the conservatives by a wide margin, that's why I believe it is a mental disorder, and you get loons like this professor.

    Anyone know who attacked us on 9/11?

    Oh the Liberal mind.

    Makes me feel good that so far this year I have given to the USO, Disable Veterans, Homeless Veterans, VFW and Adopt a Troop. I don't feel one bit of shame about it.

    Wasn't it President Obama who increased troop strength in Afghanistan, not that long after being elected? I'm sure this Professor voted for him, and enabled the very thing he seems to take issue with.

    Makes him complicit to some extent...

    Under logical thinking rules, yes. But, to an emotional reasoner, no.

    Actually, I'd much prefer that they weren't sent over their in the first place, but such be it, I guess they have to defend themselves, so weapons are in order.
