Than the blood of our fellow citizens, the bankrupting of the nation, living our principles, and the untold loss of innocent life across the seas.
Then there's always the argument that the TeaPubliKlans would have us in even more wars. They may be so inclined but we don't have the capacity without a draft. They aren't thinking and fail to see how completely stretched our forces are and ignore how many deployments we are forced to send our people on to maintain what we have. No consideration that we've been doing stop loss for years.
If you don't demand these foolish occupations end then you literally do hate America and her people, we simply cannot sustain this crap with out gutting our own country.
There are no parties enumerated in our constitution, there is a limit to that loyalty. You put party before country and you are pretty much a traitor. If these occupations were wrong two years ago they are wrong or worse today.
