At dinner last night, i spoke with a soldier

[Old_Rooster]

and i asked him what he would think of a soldier speaking publicly insulting the president.  He told me he would consider him a piss poor soldier and that he would be disciplined by his commanding officer.
told me what i suspected, that GWB was his Commander in Chief and his duty was to carry out the commander in chiefs orders, never would he disrespect him.
Said he would not want to be around a soldier that did.

There ya go Enigma.

Enigma is voicing his opinion here..I'm sure he's not as vocal while on active duty. I guess he's a reservist. He can say what he wants here..its the benefit of this board. I absolutely hate Rummy and Cheney, but i like Bush. i can say that here..not at work.

i don't even think enigma is a soldier, i think hes 11 years old.

Enigma is a soldier, but the sad thing is that as an officer in the Army and in a leadership position, if someone from his unit saw him on here bashing the war, but then they get sent back to Iraq and he says "Sgt, go take that fighting position" and that dude says fuck you LT, I know how you feel about this war, why should I risk my ass for you".

No shit,  i wouldn't want that crappy soldier leading me.  I consider what he does here TREASON.  I bet he thinks the insurgents are right.

He probably had his fingers crossed while reciting this

"I, Enigma, having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of O1 do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."

[Old_Rooster]

[Dos Equis]

[youandme]

Being an MD he can say whatever the hell it works, that's how it works.

*golf clap*

[George Stinky Bush]

I respect my country, the flag, and the importance of the President as the leader. However, I have no faith in the man who holds the job. He is not open to the opinions of people who have different points of view.

naw, i'm just not a weak lilly livered yellow bellied coward, aka-democrat.

You called Stinky a coward because he doesn't have confidence in Bush.

Looking at the fact that 2000 insurgents have been able to stop a 150,000 man invasion for 4 years now...

Do you have faith in Bush's ability to lead us to victory in Iraq?

Yes.

DO I have faith a democrat would not make us appear to be the biggest pussy nation on earth, run off by 2000 insurgents? NO!
If you don't grasp what that will do to our nation then you are a moron.

[240 is Back]

Yes.

How many years do you think it will take Bush to win this war, and why do you believe those 2000 men with rifles and explosives have been able to defeat the most advanced military on earth, with 150,000+ men, for 4 years?

ROEs jackass...dictated by the American public...

Actually, Bush has said that he will do what HE believes is correct, even if only Barney and Laura support him.

If Bush believed in your ROEs, they would be implemented.

Why hasn't Bush done this?

If you knew anything, you would know that Bush doesn't develop ROEs. The CINCs (like you know what that is) draft the ROEs in accordance with the legal beagles serving under them. Since they have spent most of their 30 year career attending War College they know that the quickest way to lose a war is to defeat the will of the people. So unfortunately when they are drafting ROEs they have to think about how the biased media will spin each Iraqi death and fuel the hatred of people like you. So they make the ROEs strict to try and appease the pussies on the left and still be able to somewhat do the job. If you wanted to really support the troops you would see this and let the CINCs loosen their ROEs and do their job. Luckily Petraeus took over and did just that. He loosened the ROEs and now the positive effects of the surge are being shown.

Why did Bush wait 4 years to put in a general who would facilitate the loosening of the ROEs?

ROEs started out loose, then you might remember Hadifah? when your hero Murtha called our boys murderers. So they were forced to stricten them...thanks Dems
