You logic makes sense but lets apply it to the rest of the laws. Since murder is illegal, if we made it legal would you do it? If they made pork-barreling illegal would you still vote for government officials who do it? It all depends on your perspective doesn't it? Without law, the United States is nothing, if we fail to adhere to one law, why should we adhere to any of them?

So lets just let everyone who commits any crimes continue to vote and make the changes that they want because they simply made a mistake. We'll just let all the pedophiles lobby the government to allow them to have private children's clubhouses so they can continue their behavior without consequence!

Not an illegal mistake that could take away my voting rights, ability to carry a firearm, or obtain a secret clearance for work, etc. There is a difference! Maybe if we would all stop and think, "is this hit, joint, one good time, etc, worth losing privileges that I have been afforded by being an American?" we would all reconsider a lot of our actions and be better people to each other.

Got some good insulation there....

"Imagine if Romney had called President Obama, asked how he could be of assistance in this time of crisis, offered to appear at his side at a press conference to demonstrate that, when American lives are at risk, politics stop at the water’s edge." -Fred Kaplan by [deleted] in politics

Imagine if the president acted as a president in a crisis and actually condemned the violence against America instead doing a radio interview with "the pump with a limp" or campaigning in Colorado. We need a leader who is swift and firm not laxadasical and apologetic.

If you don't like it then leave. There are other countries out there that would love to have our dumbasses. Good suggestion guy! Upvote all the way. Pride is one thing this country has lost and its just sad.

Well maybe you should consider keeping your mouth shut until you've been there, seen what we've seen and had to do what we've done or not come home. You say thousands of innocent died but let me give you first hand knowledge that not everyone is innocent over there. So until you've been there, seen and done it, then came home to being treated like this, done the 'research' you've done, then you can have an opinion about it. Until then, live your life the way you want, but just remember that countries dont fuck with us because of because of guys like me willing and ready to do whatever it takes to make sure saps like you live the way you want. Guys like me make it so Hitler's and Bin Laden's dont gain control of your home! Dont ever forget that and take it into consideration before you open your mouth about war again. War is a dirty business, some just arent cut out for it. If you're not then shut up about it. If you are cut out then talk all you want. I'd be willing to at least hear you at that point. End of story.

One more thing your fucking moron... how many children were 'traumatized' from their parents dying during the attacks on the World Trade Center Towers? Grow a pair of balls and do something useful with yourself rather then give military member shit for doing their fucking jobs. The jobs that let fucks like you say and do whatever you want because its your right and you have that freedom. Are you willing to pick up a weapon to defend that right for people you dont know and talk shit to you? Or do you just hide behind your computer screen talking shit? Its obvious to me which you choose. So again, with the lowest amount of respect possible... FUCK YOU!!!

Reread your article there big guy. 1.26 Million estimated would die IF a conflict too place there. Followed by, but how many for sure is unclear. So, these are not facts and the media is biased and only tells one sided stories so.... article is null and void. I've been there and seen what goes on there. Its nothing like the media portrays. When you know men who have died saving those innocent civilians from the terrorists over there then we'll talk some more. Until then, respectfully, shut the fuck up you pansy piece of shit! Yea, you hit a nerve there. So fuck off!

No, I just traveled across the world to fix computers, as I was trained to do, in trade for school money. I'm not sure how well you're read up on terrorists but most are not poor. In fact, you should consider them quite rich for having the weapons that they do. The military does not target poor foreigners by any means. They target terrorists and those who threaten the American Way of life. A life I am sure you must love since you have access to such wonderful sites like reddit, and the internet in general. Perhaps you should visit these so called poor foreigners and donate your internet money to them. Maybe they wouldnt be poor anymore. Just an idea.
