If you support the war in Iraq why don't you enlist?

Question

This question is for those of you who support the war in Iraq and want it to continue:

why haven't you enlisted? If you are in the military have you volunteered to go or to return to combat?

Answer 1

I would certainly call for GI Joes to enlist, you know over eager, empty patriots. You say out loud and that's it you are a true patriot, while anyone criticizing their messiah Bush or the war in Iraq is an anti-American. Lets see more actions than empty talk.

- Has anyone talked to the soldiers in Iraq, how they feel about the war.

- Has anyone tried to find out what kind of life the veterans are living, or the number injured and many disabled for life. So far 4130 soldiers have lost their lives, not to mention over a million Iraqis dead.

- Anyone know how many of the veterans suffer from PTSS, or 18 veterans commit suicide EVERY day.

- Anyone know what the cost of Iraq war is?? The cost of Iraq war thus far is $542558543746.

Talk to somebody or enlist and then see how quickly your cow boy fantasy vanishes, when bullets are flying over your head.

Answer 2

Your question is truly ridiculous and is not within the realm of possibility for most people. It is childish reasoning at best.

With your logic, if I support the teachers at my local school I should become one. Or if I support trash being picked up from my home I should become a trash man. Or if I support freedom of speech, I should become a Constitutional lawyer. Or if I support lower gas prices I should go out and open up a refinery or oil well.

I understand you may be frustrated with the war if you don't support it, but your logic and reasoning are silly.

BTW- being an army wife can be tough, my sister is one as well as two of my cousins. I understand completely why you may feel like your husband has given so much and other people have given so little. But the harsh bottom line is he chose to be in the Army, no one forced him to. He is an adult and can make decisions for himself, one of those must have been the knowledge that if he joined the military that the possibility of going to war is part of the deal. I sympathize with your feelings and I wish the best, safety and thanks to your husband (and yours) for his service.

Answer 3

I don't support the war, so I would personally have no intent on joining the military to go to Iraq.

Answer 4

Have you thought of all the people who can't enlist? It's not a process of here I am, give me a gun and send me to fight! Many people can't do it physically. That doesn't mean they can't have an opinion? s***w your head on straight and then come up with a question that makes sense.

Answer 5

How about this? I don't support the war full stop therefore refuse to get my *** to Iraq. I think the armchair warring (new word) war mongers ought to though who still believe the war was and is a great thing.

Answer 6

So let's see, if you support the war, then you must enlist. If you oppose the war, then you don't have to anything except sit on your backside, eating Cheetos and typing on Yahoo Answers.

My, my, my. Quite a paradox you have created.
