Just in case anyone's wondering, the 'no' vote isn't mine. I voted 'null', because, as I have indicated, I don't fully understand the question. Dwain, that was a very thought-provoking post, thank you. Larry, if I don't support a war, that does not make me anti-American, or anti-soldier, and to suggest so is to simplify the debate down to the level of absurdity. It's actually a very complicated issue for me. I didn't agree with going in to Iraq in the first place, but feel that once there, being overly critical of the ongoing conflict could have a negative impact. However, what am I supposed to do, start waving the flag, and chanting, and pretend that I agreed with it all along? I can't do that. I have the utmost respect for the allied soldiers who are over there. I'm not going to pretend that I think they should be there in the first place, though. |

Something in this article just sprung out at me, and may explain my somewhat different reaction to the majority of you to this question as more of a cultural phenomenon. UK troops in Afghanistan What sprung out was:
Ignoring any of the 'our troops are better than your troops' rubbish, do the British and Americans possibly look upon their soldiers in a different light? I'm not saying either one is right or wrong, but I have noticed a markedly different attitude to the armed forces in the US than I'm used to. |
