Reply #129: A bit unlikely?

How would you know? Are you a member of the Army Corps of Engineers? Maybe I am and maybe I am not. Maybe I am an engineer, a scientist, a meteorologist. Nevertheless, one does not need to be a member of the Army Corps of Engineers to be involved in levee building, though it is an important part of their field.

Back to the point: if you believe in nation building, then YOU GO DO IT.

Most of the men in my family served in the military (some still do), some of whom fought in wars. Each and every one of them are anti-war. Here is what my father just said regarding your comment and the comments of the other poster in this thread (I solicited his opinion, but did not actually show him the comments here):

"We veterans have been asking this for years... if you support a war for whatever reason, then you should go fight yourself."

He taught me this and I stand by it, which is why I am anti-war to the core and would not go fight unless it was absolutely necessary, and if I agreed it was the only solution.

In other words, I do not suffer keyboard commandos.
