Sgt. Fernandez asked that we remember and honor our soldiers. He didn't ask for a political argument. Leave that to Code Pink and the other anti-military outfits.
Just be grateful the soldiers are pointing their weapons at the foreign enemy and not at you, like in many countries around the world.
God Bless our troops and God Bless America.

Rep Dennis Kucinich voted NO on HHR3962, a $1.2 trillion gift to the Health Insurance industry. This bill puts the government in the role of accelerating the privatization of Health Care according to Kucinich. 21 million Americans are required to buy private health insurance. Medicare for all would have been the best for the American people. It seems difficult to convience some of the people and Congress that we deserve affordable health care.

Sgt. Fernandez: Vietnam was then, these two wars are now. 1970 isn't 2009, but what has the USA learned?
I don't want to rain on your parade, but Iraq was a collossal blunder and Afghanistan is poised to be worse than Vietnam. Enjoy the day.

Yes, Iraq was a terrible mistake, a war our country should never have started. And we should learn from the Russians and British and get out of Afghanistan. Nation building is not the solution, especially if you have to go to bed with the Taliban, al Qaida, war lords, opium dealers. We've lost too many soldiers already, and we're throwing our hard-earned money down a rat hole. Don't confuse honoring our veterans of all wars with some silly "logic" for staying in Iraq and Afghanistan. Write to Obama and tell him to get us out of there. Remember Vietnam.

If you believed in God, and that America was "one nation under God" would there be a need for a military and manufactured enemies? I think not! Corporations make money off the deaths of our military in false wars. Please put your energy into stopping this obscene action on the part of our government. Proud Code Pinker!

I'd love to rain on your parade. It seems you didn't learn anything from 1938, when PM Chamberlain kissed Hitler's butt. I hope you know the rest of the story there.
In Vietnam, we lost our will and ran, politically-speaking. We couldn't finish what we started. Resulting aftermath was about a million people being slaughtered and thousands of boat people.

<quoted text>I'm of the opinion Chamberlain was buying time. Britain was in no position to challenge Hitler in 1938. They weren't even ready in 1940.

<quoted text>Wow, this nut case is farrrrrr Left!! Even most Libbies consider Chamberlain to be one of the most infamous appeasers in history. Scary.

<quoted text>
Which is yet another example of why your comments cannot be taken seriously. Those who WILL not read, much less learn from, history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors. It has been more than amply demonstrated time and time again that appeasement and weakness -- such as demonstrated by Chamberlain in letting Hitler sink his teeth into the Check Sudetanland in return for the Chancellor's "promise" that would be the last of his territorial conquests -- serve ONLY to invite aggression.
<quoted text>
And yet challenge them they did ... and (thanks to Lend Lease) successfully, too.
Did you never hear of "The Battle of Britain" fought in the skies in 1940 that pitted the RAF against the mighty Luftwaffe?
How can you possibly be expect to be treated as anything other than trivial fluff if you WILL NOT read your history?
You must be a graduate of our sorry a s s e d public education system.
