We're supporting our families who are told they have to go. You really are a fool.

Its a bit like the Brits who were drawn into the IRAQ conflict after 9/11.
There were huge protest marches here against us getting involved but Blair was hanging onto Bush's coat tails.
It sems to me that ever since 9/11 that is when the war on terrorists began.
I still do not Know why We are even in Afghanistan?
Soldiers are trained to fight-- its never the Presidents or Prime Ministers that fight-- they just like to send Our men as fodder.
during ww2 conscientious objectors were either imprisoned or sent to work in the MINES etc.
