Reply #85: It's not advice. It's a simple test

[jgraz]

It's easy to talk big about "quitting the battlefield and abandoning those whose infrastructure, power base, and political apparatus we have destroyed", but the acid test is this: would you be willing to join the 30,000 shipping out to Afghanistan? Would you want your son or daughter to join?

If you can't answer "Hell yes!" to those questions, you have no business asking other people to fight for your "moral correctness".
