Well it is kinda true. Plus America really flaunts itself about how we're soo great. We do have jobs for other people that are immigrants, but now that's a problem in America because now American citizens who need jobs can't get them. America is very actually racist in a alot of ways, that people seem to overlook. We di not deserve 9/11 but is a war really the answer? Also all the soldiers that now dead, are they all getting respect. Not really. Do most Americans know the names of any soldiers who died, no unless they were in their family.

I'm guessing your mom might be starting dementia. You may want to watch for (other) signs of mental deterioration.

Wow. You people really are ignorant. The soldiers have extreme amounts of courage, no matter what the war means to you. And a quick note about the whole G. W. Bush is an idiot issue. Yes, let's call him an idiot for 'starting' the war. After 9/11 he should've just let it go, right? At least he keeps his promises. What did Obama say again? All of the soldiers would be out of Iraq within 6 months of him becoming president right? What happened? It's been almost 6 months and... no progress. My brother is in the army and he was supposed to be done with Iraq by now. Pre-Obama: He was done after serving 4 tours in Iraq. He was going to take over as a scout to attract more peopole to enlist. Post-Obama: He is going back in August for 15 more months, ordered by Mr. Obama himself. The soldiers are couragous, and most of the posters don't have half the balls they have.

im engaged to a marine. thats really offensive; they join because they want to protect your right to say things like that. in any other country you would be killed for sayin things against the military. so next time your mother opens her mouth. remind her of that.

So you all would rather be attacked by our enemies I guess, huh?

tell your mom to leav this country because she is a BIG bitch and doesn't deserve it.

Wow, this thread hasn't been locked yet! I'm surprised...

even if you don't support the war, support the troops.

people should notice how REPEATEDLY this website says, "please be respectful." OP, i'm very sorry, that soldier shouldn't have said that. but also, you must understand from his point of view how many people are saying how stupid they are. read the comments from your post. and i hate the person that called you an idiot, it's not your fault whatsoever that your mom said that. people have the right to their own opinions, but they should think about others first. i had eleven people die on 9/11, and i don't think one person here wouldn't try to fight back for that. imagine if you lost everyone you ever loved in an instant. i believe in peace, and i personally hate violence more than i hate anything else. but when people risk everything i have, i'm not going to stand by and let that happen. maybe you haven't noticed that these are real people, who don't like the fact that we're here, that we're in this situation. we didn't ask for this. no one did. none of the people that day deserved to die. my family and friends DID NOT deserve to die that day. and i get personally offended when you say that these soldiers that risk their lives daily for you, and for your family, are stupid, and insult them. they're trying to stop this from repeating again. no one deserves this.

justtocomment35 your an idiot too. sure in gods eyes your free, but thank a soldier that we ARE free. Thank a soldier you can read this in English.
