How many ******* times do you have to post that disgusting picture? We get it already, there's a man in balaclava that thinks he's some ultra-cool Cuban revolutionary.

Do you not believe the military has any stake in public opinion? They are protecting America, home of the American people after all. They're should be mutual respect but ultimately the final decision comes down to the voters. That's the beauty of a democracy.

THAt'S WHY THE RACIST CHARLIE RANGEL "WANTS" THE DRAFT.

AMERICA NOW HAS SOLDIERS THAT WANT TO BE SOLDIERS THEY VOLUNTERED.
A) We have that in the military now. I hate to break it to people, but putting a uniform on someone doesn't make them a hero, or even a good person. The military is just like civilian society, with the same great people, good people, jackasses, and scumbags.

B) Rangel wants the draft to prove the point that politicians would be less likely to wage war as a first resort if their own kids were at risk.

I'll post it as many times as I feel fit to. I don't think enough people know that these retards are plentiful. Some in here still defend Hanoi Jane. The fact that the protest had her speaks volumes of those who supported it.

My 2 cents anyhow.

You'll always have scumbags and good people, no matter what you do. Police departments, fire, the church, political office, the UN, you name it. That's life.

Once again, the left is all for free speech, until the speech disagrees with them!!

Imagine being a member of a political party whose sole goal is the defeat of the United States!!!

When did people as a whole stop thinking for themselves? Did they ever start, I wonder?
