And i can understand how they would be a little upset that someone invaded their country. I'd be a little upset to if they started coming over here and doing shit.

I'm not placing any blame on the soldiers at all. I'm placing it on an overzealous administration and ignorant voters.

I just love hearing "i support the war because we went to iraq to get the people back who caused 9/11 har har har". They still dont understand that it had NOTHING TO DO WITH IRAQ.

I hope you're not implying or making the assumption that they are heckling the same kids that are throwing rocks at them. Because that would probably be very incorrect.
And they are ADULTS, they should handle them as such. Just because a CHILD does something, it doesn't mean the ADULT can follow suit or stoop to something lower.

**** I actually agree with you on something.

is reagan still in office?

Yup.

Seriously?

yeah, im in darfur teabaggin kids right now.

Only bad thing about getting out of there, means the guys that died over there, died for no reason. ONLY reason why we need to get the job done. But I still say level it.

So in order to justify the deaths that have already happened, we should accept more deaths?! I don't see how pulling out in a few more years, with a few thousand more dead troops is going to do that.

Its a mess, when we pull out its going to get worse, doesn't matter if we pull out now or in a few years.

No ones saying what they did is right, only that it certainly isn't the worse thing to happen in the war. If your going to hold these guys responsible for such petty immature shit, how about we hold the administration responsible for lying to the nation and bringing us into a pointless unwinnable war?

What these guys did was stupid and trivial; nonetheless, they shouldn't get dishonorably discharged for it.

yes i agree that throwing rocks at them is also stupid and trivial. We should NOT waste time or resources hunting down and punishing kids who do it.

Just like we should NOT waste time and resources finding and punishing the troops with the bottle of water.

This is fukkin war for Christ's sakes, bad things happen... we should overlook some of the trivial shit and focus on what matters, getting us the fuk out of that shit hole.
