[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 189327"] Be that as it may, Mr. [[i]or, insert military rank[/i]] Hester, we never had any business there to begin with. And we don't now, either. Every story has two sides -- not just one. This is the other side : [url=http://www.examiner.com/nonpartisan-in-national/if-the-us-was-attacked-by-a-criminal-empire-analogy-to-confront-us-iran-history]http://www.examiner.com/nonpartisan-in-national/if-the-us-was-attacked-by-a-criminal-empire-analogy-to-confront-us-iran-history[/url] The facts involved are not in serious dispute. To be clear on this, I do support you personally, because you are an American serviceman, and I'm an American. But I don't believe that anyone with the information necessary to understand your situation there and a conscience can support the fact that you are there at all. Since people in the military tend to hear each other better than they do civilians, I'm offering you the view of the big picture as it was painted (in a 1933 speech) by Maj. General Smedley Butler, USMC. (His "credentials, if you like : the Marine Corps Brevet Medal and two Congressional Medals of Honor for actions in two different engagements) : [url=http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4377.htm]http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4377.htm[/url] Respectfully, :face: [/QUOTE]
