the only way a member of my family will go to war for you is over my dead body.

Careful.

He might find those terms acceptable.

...for great justice

I say to those who can do something about this, but will not, I the only way a member of my family will go to war for you is over my dead body.

So what you’re telling us is that you don’t ascribe to freedom and the adult family members in your family are under your control.

These brave, unselfish young men really believe in their hearts that they are doing the right thing in service to this country.

They are. You evidently do not understand The War on Terror/Fundamentalist Islam.

Later, I saw a story about vets returning from the war with serious, debilitating injuries having to fight an incredible beauracracy for compensation and medical care. Why? The VA is seriously underfunded.

Yes, that is what happens when there is a lot of government. Private sector always works better. That why many of us are Republicans.

this ridiculous war

Only in your ridiculous viewpoint.

the only way a member of my family will go to war for you is over my dead body

Hmm, you must be a liberal. You would kill/die before you let a family member exercise their free will?!

Actually it would be most fitting and just that those expressing their contempt for the country and their inability to serve when it calls to be compelled to depart for any place beyond its protection, since they really have, in effect, given up their claim to being a citizen.

Alternately, they should be compelled to serve, rather than be allowed to exist as parasites of freedom which has been earned by those more brave and unselfish than they—but in a special capacity.

No, they do not wish to bear arms for their country, (or in their instances, the country which they happened to be born in), but would serve those who have been protecting them, unarmed, and walking point and doing those mine-clearing, latrine-cleaning duties to justify their otherwise meaningless existence.

Just a thought.  I think Heinlein might groove on the concept.

...for great justice

War is hell! It breaks our bodies, it breaks our emotional health, it kills the enemy, it kills our warriors and innocent civilians. That is the minimum price we must pay for our liberty! The soil of liberty is fed by the precious blood of our sons and our daughters, it always has been and it always will be and it will always come with a high price tag, otherwise what is it worth?

IRAQ: What has Iraq to do with our liberty? (a) If we do not inflict a devastating blow to Islamic militants, all over the world, we can never be truly safe at home. We went there and Al Queda and other Islamic militants decided to defeat us there; and there, far from home, we are killing those bastards.(b) When we are unwilling to help others under the heavy boot of dictators to achieve liberty for themselves, then we no longer desrve it for ourselves.

Money: When we do not secure our borders we invite Islam in here illegally to kill our people. We also undermine our economic security with our open borders.

VA: We have always underfunded the Veterans Administration, it is a shame, these men and women deserve much better; but, in previous wars our soldiers took responsibility for their own lives and health and while they needed more help from everyone, they didn’t fight to come home and to lay down and suck from the national tit. Soldiers don’t deserve anything more than a chance to come home and build a future for themselves. Yes, we should do more, but crying and bellyaching is not the way, rather we need to elect men and women to Congress that will increase VA spending, with close oversight of our money.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

You guys are lost. You have bought the right wing super-patriot bull, lock, stock and barrel. When you free your minds and open your hearts, we’ll talk.

When you free your minds and open your hearts, we’ll talk.

Before, it was over your dead body.

watashiwa, when you free your mind and open your heart, we’ll talk.

I think for myself, thank you very much. It is typical of your type to claim that those who disagree with you MUST be closed-minded idiots.

but, in previous wars our soldiers took responsibility for their own lives and health and while they needed more help from everyone, they didn’t fight to come home and to lay down and suck from the national tit.

Or they became homeless and forgotten.  They were denied the care they needed from our leaders.  Many gave all they had and were kicked to the curb.  Getting the care you were promised is not sucking at the national tit.  This is a disgusting post and you should be ashamed as a marine.

Neiman,

Whatever happened to the code of not leaving anybody behind?

Soldiers don’t deserve anything more than a chance to come home and build a future for themselves.

Yea, I’m going to disagree here. Our soldiers deserve perminent care for any injury they sustain while defending our freedoms. They deserve admiration and respect, and any scholorship they want. The people who keep us free deserve a bit more than the ability to “come home and resume life”...which is a kind way of saying they don’t deserve anything.

Whatever happened to the code of not leaving anybody behind?

Nothing! That is, a Marine does not leave a brother-in-arms-behind in the battlefield; however, it is not a cry for permanent public assistance.

The people who keep us free deserve a bit more than the ability to “come home and resume life”...which is a kind way of saying they don’t deserve anything.

People serve in the military for a variety of reasons, but I have never met one that did so in the spirit that such service would demand they should deserve special treatment when they get home. They simply want an equal chance to work hard and succeed in life.

It is more than a little irritating that you and others deliberately and it seems with some malice, chose to ignore my other words, like “We have always underfunded the Veterans Administration, it is a shame, these men and women deserve much better.” It is the difference between whether or not a soldier thinks they deserve special treatment after war versus the need of the nation to believe they deserve better treatment. I don’t expect you to understand that difference.

One last note, probably a waste of time, but it is worth mentioning. The families of the murder victims of 9/11 were given roughly a million dollars a piece for their loss, which I think was wrong and outrageous. Yet, when our soldiers die in battle, their families get very little by comparison in financial compensation. Is that unfair? In one way it is, as the families of 9/11 are no different than any other murder victim’s families and did not deserve such compensation. On the other hand, our soldiers know going in that they are at high risk of death and their families will get little help after their deaths, but they go into harms way by choice, knowing the risks to them and their families. We fight, get wounded and many die out of a sense of duty and brotherhood, without any desire for any greater compensation than was agreed to in our enlistment contract.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

wataputz,

This republic is worth defending.

Roman matrons used to say to their sons: “Come back with your shield, or on it.” Later on this custom declined. So did Rome.¹

Which in turn is demonstrated by this young generation which is rising to the challenge.  In so doing they are making the republic more worthy.

As for you and several of your fellow travelers hereabouts:

Those who refuse to support and defend a state have no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be defined as “murder” in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be “Using deadly weapons inside city limits,” or “Creating a traffic hazard,” or “Endangering bystanders,” or other misdemeanor. However, the state may reasonably place a closed season on these exotic asocial animals whenever they are in danger of becoming extinct. An authentic buck pacifist has rarely been seen off Earth, and it is doubtful that any have survived the trouble there...regrettable, as they had the biggest mouths and the smallest brains of any of the primates. The small-mouthed variety of anarchist has spread through the Galaxy at the very wave front of the Diaspora; there is no need to protect them. But they often shoot back.²

Indeed.

First, as I recall, despite the worst efforts of those on the Left, we still have an all volunteer military in this country.

Second, your adamant opposition to military service is duly noted… but the fact of the matter is that no one who is, or has been, engaged in combat, would want someone like you anywhere near any sort of military action under any circumstances.  Nor is your “dead body” of terribly much concern.  It’s the others whose lives your presence would put at risk, the warriors, that really matter.

If I read some of you guys right, those soldiers who suffered disabling injuries should have died in Iraq rather than come back and be a burden on your pocketbook.
That would be a great insult to the men who fought and died on the White House grounds after world war 1 trying to get a GI Bill passed. A bill which many of you have been the beneficiaries of. It is odd that many of you right wingers who speak against a welfare state willingly join the American version: the U.S. military. You get free food, free housing, free health care, free travel. Then when you get out you conservatives run to the VA to grab
as many benefits as you can for every little pain or injury you endured while in service. All this at taxpayers expense. Then you turn around a get a government job which grants you more pay and benefits that many civilian workers do not gets. Also at taxpayer expense. Like I said you guys wrote the book on hypocrisy. Furthermore, anyone who thinks building a fence will keep us safe from terrorists is just plain dumb. You are dumber still if you think that it is honorable to go off to fight a war so a politician can put another notch on his bedpost.

Una Salus Victus Nullam Sperare Salutem

The name “Watashiwa”? If so, from Wikipedia:

Watashi Wa is Japanese and roughly translated means, depending on the context, “I”, “myself”, or, “As for me”. Fans have speculated that this is a reference to the Biblical “I am”, a phrase used throughout the Old and New Testament of the Bible by God and Jesus. It may also be a reference to Joshua 24:15 “As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD”.

I believe that if America had no enemies, you would invent them in your closed little minds.

Give the guy some credit, he at least believes America has real enemies other than the ones we might invent if we didn’t have any....

Wow, that’ll make your head spin. It’s rather uncomfortable to watch people conflate the hypothetical with reality in an effort to discredit their political opponents.  What’s worse is when they start to “believe” it.

What?! I didn’t say “authoritative” so you shouldn’t put it in quotes. Wikipedia, while able to be edited, is usually right/well informed about non-controversial topics. Besides, I was just showing a possibility for its meaning, not trying to show proof.

No as sad as you trying to tell us that the pervert is claiming to be Jesus, sad all the same.

What?! I don’t even understand what you just said. Someone claimed to be Jesus? What in the Abyss are you rambling mindlessly on about THIS time?

Once again, I was asking about his username. (Notice I said “his”, not your dehumanizing favorite term “its") Are we talking about watashi wa? I posted an article from Wiki, suggesting that it COULD mean something.

Why is it when someone even comments on one of your tirades, you instantly assume they are defending someone/are out of their mind/a socialist?

Why do you feel compelled to do so?

Finally, a break from your rant to address me with what sounds like a non-rhetorical question. To answer:
1) I am not entirely sure who we’re even talking about. Watashi Wa? Elinas?
2) I had not begun to defend anyone on one of their points. What I do defend is anyone’s right to free speech. Since you (according to several comment threads I’ve shared with you) resort to ad hominem attacks 95% of the time, I DID later post for us to attack ideas, not people. That was directed primarily at you. Engage in cogent reason. But name calling? Are you serious? I assume 4th grade was a long time ago for all of us; let’s not revisit it.

But I’m a Christian and a proud conservative, and I don’t like seeing other conservatives resort to dehumanization and name-calling when we can beat liberal thought to death with reason and logic. It also reinforces the stereotype of the cold-hearted Conservative.

Incidentally, this blog’s Commenting Policy also has a problem with it. “...comments that are overly abusive, threatening, overly profane or that divulge someone’s private information will be deleted” and “Commenters repeatedly violating these policies will be banned.”

It has seen fit to take a huge, steaming crap all over the women and men who volunteer to serve in our military during a time of war, and America in general. Not just once. Apparently you don’t have a problem with that.

Of course I have a problem with that. But those who have worn a uniform had an understanding long ago about those who flourish under the protection of the military, even while denigrating those in it. Military personnel are better men (and women) than them (I am not speaking about inherent superiority - we are all equal in the eyes of God - but one’s actions and character can certainly be superior).

So I suppose I am saying that I got used to it a while ago. The ideals that this commenter (Watashi Wa? Elinas?) spewed were castigated enough by me here, I think.

OK, lets see if I can explain this one more time. I am not a conservative. I am not a republican. I am an American. As for reason and logic, screw that. Someone craps on my country and my service I am going to respond in kind. You are free to stand on your honor and virtue and watch America continue to sink into the cesspool of socialistic stupidity.

Something else you should learn, while your healthy, is that individuals like 2H9 would not hesitate to come to your aid when a couple of 1st graders threaten you and your cowardly relatives. So, be careful upon who you dump your loquacious babble…this repechage might be your last.

Jealousy and envy. All that ever comes from America hating, insignificant perverts such as the pervert. And JK squeals that we must be polite and considerate to it.

This is the typical line of crap from people who either A. refused to serve, or B. got kicked out as being unfit in one way or another. They are angry at those who are their superiors, both physically and morally, and they lash out. Just like all its post. Go through them. Sadly self hating and angry at any who are not crawling in the feces filled gut it occupies.

Also note, it has yet to produce any evidence that the cops in Grand Forks are prejudiced while murdering people. I have not bothered to ask for any prove of any of the other stupidity it spews. Why waste the time. The derision heaping shovel is all the pervert is ever going to get.

I said for you not to dehumanize people.
You either can’t read, forgot, or are lying.

You and Fred Phelps are ideological gemini.

I just looked at my last post, where I said this:
“I don’t have a problem with you being impolite to people”.

This is approximately 10 inches above your post. Forgive me if I am jumping to conclusions, but I now suspect you are either clinically delusional, or a liar. (Note that this is not a mindless ad hominem attack - your specialty - but a possibility based upon your behavior and actions.)

And while you seem to hate socialists, liberals and anyone who disagrees with you, I hate lying. (Lying, not liars)

It would be nice if you represented me fairly in your disingenuous quotes of me. To date, you have a pretty poor record.

You said it. I just chopped it into easily digestible chunks.

Why are so concerned about groveling to your enemies? Because the pervert is far more your enemy than mine. It has nothing more than contempt for you. It fears me.

If your objective is to verbally subjugate your political opposites, then fear is indeed a useful tool.

If your objective is to change your opponent’s mind and convert him to your way of thinking, then fear is usually ineffective. Only awe is useful in that situation, combined with rightness and/or righteousness. Do you believe that he awes you?

Which is your objective?
