What the hell is this doing here? Moreover - who are you to call anti-war
protestors cowards? I refuse to serve in the military because I don't want
to be sent to some third-world shithole to die. Today's military is being
used as the world's policing force - a foreign legion - which is not what
it was meant to be. The military was meant for homeguard service - to
protect us in times of invasion, and to attack those who pose a direct
threat to us. Saddam's presence poses very little threat to us ---
and even if he does, then it would be far simpler to send in special
forces to assassinate him - or simply bomb his palaces into oblivion.
Oh, wait, I forgot - we're talking about the US Military --- they're not
known for their intelligence. My mistake.
