I would like to paraphrase something that a Vet told me once 'How can you thank me for the job I've done & the sacrifices I've made if in the same breath you say that I was wrong for doing it'.

Junkie, you owe all the Veterans an apology for that!!!

You have the right to voice your opinion; you just need to pick a better forum (I don't mean www.Vehicross.info - I mean start your own thread for your own purposes).

"Ok everybody...let the slamming begin....." That ain't even funny. It makes you sound even more narrow minded than the polititians you are continually dissing. Don't use the noble cause of Veteran Affairs to promote your self centered nature.
I never said anything negative about veterans, did I? I think they are all heroes.I really do.I am only trying to say that if someone can thank veterans on a "car" website, then why can't I question the mechanisms that made them veterans in the first place.
Excuse me if I am wrong abut this but people in the military follow orders, are told what to do and how to do it. They are basically pawns for their commanding officers to deploy as they are told from up the chain of command.
So the people who serve in the armed forces don't decide anything. They are trained to kill for god and country and never question why.
I am sorry that human beings in the year 2007 have not progressed enough to settle disputes without bloodshed and murder, but they haven't.
We will always need people to die and to kill other people to keep America free.My issue is that I think we put our soilders in no win situations,and after they make it out of the other end,they are treated poorly by the system they fought to protect.
So again, I have the utmost respect for anyone who has served our country, and hope in the future we have less wars and less veterans.
