    well me too but i know that the troops do not get to choose where to go or what orders to follow. blaming the troops is not the answer and neither is punishing them like this idiotic professor wishes to do because obviously he is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ed moron.

    if people wanna blame somebody blame Bush,blame Obama, blame the government officials and blame the psychos that attacked us that started this whole cluster(*)(*)(*)(*).

    leave our troops out of the argument, its not their fault.

    While I think the college professor went overboard with regard to his opinion about war, I do sympathize with people in large institutions. Big companies tend to use guilt and strong-arm tactics to solicit "voluntary" contributions for "charities". There should be self-regulation at large companies to eliminate the infestation of charities. The United Way and the NAACP would not exist without strong-arm tactics.

    The U.S. operates under an all-volunteer armed forces policy.

    The troops choose to be in the military.

    Bush and Obama aren't firing weapons at people: the voluntary troops are doing that.

    Thus, blaming the troops is justified.

    Nobody is attacking my country. No "saving" necessary, thanks.

    The cowards are the ones who resort to violence.

    Many of us chose to be in the military when we weren't fighting in the middle east and don't have the option to separate now.

    Regardless, if you want to place blame, blame the people who voted for the politicians who decided to send the troops in. They made that decision, they are the ones to blame.

    wrong. but i know your straight up bias so its hardly even worth engaging into conversation with you.

    but the scenario is you choose to join, yes but after that your ass is theirs. when they say go you go and have no choice but to do the job.our troops dont choose the country our politicians decide to send them too, or to start wars with.

    the only choice they truly have is to sit there and take a bullet or to fight back, other than that its do what you are told.

    no military is a democracy.

    but just like the so called professor, you are clueless and blinded by bias.

    just like owning a gun, it takes responsibility and understanding what it can do and how to use it, not knowing and just going out to blast folks only causes damage and makes you an idiot. same thing with the military, its a very powerful entity, and if the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s who control it dont understand that and use it in the wrong way its their fault alone. the military,just like a gun, doesnt just pop off on its own, it does what its "owner" makes it do.

    politicians are too blame, soldiers are just following the orders given to them.

    You know about his hate-filled screed against collecting Care Packages for our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    You know that, when asked to explain his claim that US soldiers serving today don’t deserve our sympathy or support, he had no comment (including turning down an invitation to appear on my show).

    But what do you really know about “Professor” Michael Avery?

    For one thing, he’s a big fan of Communist countries. While his fellow young men were fighting the Chinese Communists in Southeast Asia, Michael Avery spent 1968-‘69 at the University of Moscow, according to his bio.

    He also enjoys traveling to Cuba—or at least, he claims he enjoyed his trip there in 2005. What was Professor Avery doing in Cuba? Supporting Castro and attacking America, what else?

    Avery wrote in June, 2005:

    “I was invited to attend an International Conference on Terrorism in Havana...The conference was presided over by Fidel Castro and included several prominent figures from other Latin American countries. I addressed the conference last Thursday, with Fidel in attendance. The theme of my talk was the hypocrisy of U.S. policy toward terrorism.”

    He mentions Luis Posada Carriles, who he calls “a documented terrorist,” (I’d love to compare his “documents” to Castro’s, maybe pass them around among the political prisoners Cuba is holding), talks about all the media coverage he’s getting for Suffolk University, and then concludes:

    “During the week I had an opportunity to hear and meet several people who had been the victims of U.S. sponsored terrorism, primarily during the seventies in Latin America. It was a very edifying experience.”

    People accusing the US of crimes? For someone like Michael Avery, would could be more “edifying” than that?

    Interestingly, while Avery likes to bash America and hang out with people who hate America, he’s yet to show any willingness to leave America. Gee—I wonder why?

    You agree with me (because it's a fact).

    I blame the troops. Simple.

    This guy is extremely left wing, with socialist ideals.

    I wouldn't get too worked up.. Americans have always supported the troops even when they hated the war.

    I've put in in bold, and underlined it just so you can see exactly where you agreed with me.

    I know exactly how things work.

    The U.S. operates under an all-volunteer armed forces policy.

    This fact has been established, and you agreed with me.

    Keep up.

    we are only free to choose to join the military or not, we are not free to choose what missions we take, who to go to war with, or disobey any order given.

    its obvious you know nothing about how anything works with a military. if the troops made the decisions on who to go to war with then you would have a point, but since they dont then you dont have one either.

    now go put your blinders back on.

    just like an uneducated,completely biased person. you pick and choose what you agree with and omit the rest of the truth as it does not go with your pathetic agenda.

    face it, you are just flat out wrong.

    What a load. Invading a country that has done nothing to us, and killing innocents as well as people who are understandably defending their country from foreign invaders sure as hell isn't isn't ensuring MY rights. It has NOTHING to do with me at all.

    I am an American who loves my country and hates what my government is doing. I don't consider anyone else who objects to the atrocities to be trash. People aren't trash for disagreeing and stating their opinions.
