How many think that the troops are really fighting for our freedom?

92. i think it says "lawful," and there are lots of laws that are unconstitutional.

Scott seems to be taking the "argue everything to avoid arguing anything" approach.

[YALE]

According to regulations and the ucmj and in the ucmj it states that you not follow an unconstitutional order.

That's what officers are for.

Go read a book. I've got a trailer to tow through the city.

Which one would you suggest? I mean, I haven't made it my life's study to look at national security and actually did the grunt work in Iraq.

Troops do not have the luxury of choosing who or why they fight. They swear an oath to obey the orders of the President of the United States. I'll be cold and dead in the ground before I swear an oath to that fuckhead.

That said, I respect and appreciate the contribution of our military and its members to our global influence. Other nations call us ignorant, backwards, and discoureous, but they never call us weak.

No, we swear an oath to the Constitution and swear to obey the lawful orders of those above us. Any order that violates that is to be refused. That's basic training level stuff but I don't expect you to understand that.

In all seriousness, IMO WW2 was a turning point for our country. Good or bad, it changed forever.

Changed for the worse. Much of what we have done ever since has been because of ww2

Would sadaam have really become the next hitler? After taking saudi, would he for 100% certain raised oil prices?
