OT - I just got this in my email and thought I would share

Actually, you're right on this point. He is not Sunni, I was wrong about that. When he said that he would fight until his last drop of blood stopped flowing, I guess I got confused with where he stood.

My point is that he is leading an insurgent force when he could easily be working within the system to attain the goals he claims to be raising his rilfes to attain. The Sunnis could be doing the same thing, working inside the new system to affect the goals they have in mind. Instead they form insurgencies to attack everything that moves, even people that could halp them attain thier goals if they would just sit down and negotiate.

Anyone who pays taxes and lives by the laws of this country has an absolute right to complain about the government; period!

Complain all you want, just not to me. I did my time on the wall, and don't want to listen to your whining. If you stood the wall along side me, then complain all you want. I might listen or I might not. Either way, you can complain and I won't stop you. I might not listen, but I sure as hell am not going to stop you.

That's all fine and dandy, but this is a world wide Jeep newsgroup and lots of us have no clue about nor could we care about US politics.

Maybe take it to a political newsgroup.

I agree Mike. I've been watching this thread for a couple of days and only now got boared enough to respond to it. btw, I didn't start this thread.

Actually, it is a responsibility.

Oh, I see. People who don't join the military are irresponsible. Thanks for clearing that up.

Bullshit.

No problem, I don't want people complaining to me either -- I'm taking about complaining to the government. We, however, are in a public forum, and you did start this thread. A thread that was naturally going to elicit much heated debate, and complaining.

The UN couldn't organize a two-person parade!

The last time I checked, the government wasn't here.

Amen. Many people shirk the responsibility, but that does not change the fact that it is a responsibility. Serve, then complain. You have more credibility.

Good One! Way to go Jim!

Actually, in America, it's still a choice.

Many people who you consider dead weight/freeloaders work hard and pay taxes which pays for the military. Those people have a right to say how their tax money is spent.
