37. the few people I know fighting, joined voluntarily after the war started

Edited on Fri Jan-21-05 10:00 PM by superconnected

because they wanted to be part of it.

family of friends, not my friends personally...

I'm torn. I figure there are a few who don't want to be there that are victims. But, there are a lot more who say they don't want to be there but want to fight iraq and claim it's fighting terrorism to keep us safe, etc. Perhaps I only meet those ones' parents.

Also, in 10 & 20 years they're going to run for political office with this on their resume' and expect us to be proud of them. That bugs the heck out of me.

How could I look at one and not think..."are you a murderer?"
