Reply #3: How many tons did we drop on Vietnam?

Or Japan? Germany (think Dresden)? Not defending it, I agree it is abhorrent.

The white phosphorus (willie peter, aka "smoke") is equally bad. We don't even need to discuss cluster munitions. Perhaps we can agree that death is death whether inflicted with a plain old bullet or something more exotic.

Point is all weapons of war are hideous. War is hideous. Let the rich do their own gd killing, I will not fight (again) nor will I allow my taxes pay for others to do so in my stead.

We must take a stand for our principles now, concrete action not mere words which are easy to ignore.
