I have not complained about anything regarding the substance of this thread.
But to suggest that only people who were in the military can complain about
foreign policy is nuts. That's like saying that only people who work for
the EPA can complain about environmental policy. Besides, shouldn't we
qualify your logic and only allow people who were actually shot at in a war
complain. Everyone is thankful for our freedom and the sacrfice our troops
make and have made, but some of the people in this forum have gotten a
little too self righteous.

I understand just fine, Bill. I understand the exceptionalism of the people
in this country, and the glory of our unique American political and social
philosophy. At least people who are bothering to complain are interested
in the political process and the goings on in this country. Besides, most
people are not complaining about the military proper, but rather the
objective of our foreign policy. You are turning this into a discussion
about military criticsm, and that is not the case.

Bill, I don't post my personal information on the internet -- there are too
many wackos who are looking for that kind of information. If you want I
will send you a personal email with my contact information. I'm not trying
to fight with anyone on this board, and I did not start this thread. Plus
I don't think I've said anything particulary controversal.

Stack has a good point. Maybe only military personnel should pay taxes, then
no one but them can say how their taxes are spent.
