This is called WAR. There are no set guide lines that say when it will start or be over or how you will win or lose. And that little scuff in the sand over there is nothing compared to Nam so don't get all upset over a couple of soldiers dieing because of gorilla warfare.
911 is a result of Clinton dropping all the funding for intel. he cut our countries defence budget by 36% and almost put HLS out to pasture. George W was in office for about 60 days when the attack happened, don't try to tell me 60 days or even a year is enough time to correct all that was wrong with the budget and put funding in the right places. these things take time and a lot of effort by what ever team is in office at that time.
Glad to here you cousin is restasioned somewere she wants to be. You said asia right, good know she gets to shoot ricers or even better maybe the technitions that build that junk.lolololololol

i understand what goes on over there... i never said horrible things dont happen. ive heard hundreds of stories and seen videos from my cousin and her friends. dont think i dont know whats going on just cus im not over there. but that wasnt my point at all. you just randomly went off into nowhere. im talking about the 9/11 incidents, and events building up since then. our government is very shady the way they run things right now. we are left in the dark constantly. all we get are small speeches about how they are gonna catch bin laden. oh they are gonna catch bin laden... you just wait.... ive been waiting for 5 years now! we have had no progress in our war against terrorism. the only thing we have is a new democratic government in a country that had nothing to do with the beginning of this war. people are still being attacked daily, americans are still dying constantly. when is the progress going to be made? when are we going to catch the terrorists we've been chasing? we always seem to get the small guys that dont matter in the big scene.
im very proud of the people that fight for our country. how could i not be when one of my family members and childhood friend is in the army? you guys do what you are told, and you do it damn well. this is just taking far too long, and too many lives are being lost. why wouldnt people second guess? thats what this country is all about. its supposed to be about us. not the government. WE are this country.

p.s. im only a wannabe drifter, i never want to be in iraq.
