2. It's disgusting. Many of us older DUers know how WAR will destroy a young person's

perspective on the world. Even if they don't suffer from PTSD, or a physical trauma, WAR is horrific and nobody who has returned is ever the same.

There's no SANE reason to continue to OCCUPY these two countries ... KILL, MAIM and DIE when Congress has not DECLARED WAR.

It's DEMENTED and EVIL to continue this madness ... we need to bring our troops home NOW!

5. Thanks. It's comforting that I'm not alone. But so many people are so easily fooled ...
It's not a matter of intelligence because the M$M has become quite gifted at propaganda and disinformation. Besides, everyone wants to be patriotic. It's going to be creepy beyond belief to see those young Cadet faces behind President Obama. I'm just saddened beyond belief. :(

6. defunding the pentagon
And putting a tax on war would solve a ton of budget problems. And it would set this country back on the road to self respect and international respect.
