We will probably be over there for 2.5-5 years. Bush did not send anyone unwillingly. We have a volunteer military you know.

As an ex-military member, I recall that the military oath of office states:

"I DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR (OR AFFIRM) THAT I WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC; THAT I WILL BEAR TRUE FAITH AND ALLEGIANCE TO THE SAME; THAT I TAKE THIS OBLIGATION FREELY, WITHOUT ANY MENTAL RESERVATION OR PURPOSE OF EVASION; AND THAT I WILL WELL AND FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE UPON WHICH I AM ABOUT TO ENTER."

So unless it can be shown that policing Iraq is somehow required to defend the US Constitution, then they didn't volunteer for it.

Oh please tell me you are kidding. Anyone joining the military knows there is a risk of war. The oath says you are to defend the Constitution against enemies. Saddam was deemed a threat to the welfare of the United States, and therefore a threat to the Constitution.

It's questionable whether he was ever a serious threat or not. But that he will be a threat for the next 2.5 - 5 years??? I think some in the military (and elsewhere) have some strong doubts about that.

Even a lot of our own troops are beginning to see that the whole invasion was bullshit. Even many conserative news sources are stating that troop moral is low.

I gotta agree with Shakta on this one.

When you join the military you sign up to do whatever they want you to do no matter what.

Any high school student taking a law studies class will tell you that you give up many of your individual freedoms if you are a prisoner, public school student (who else finds this incredibly fucked up?),and when you join the military.

There's little question about that. The question is whether or not Bush has the right to keep them there to do something they didn't sign up for (oil protection, rather than constitution protection). To the best of my knowledge, Bush went to war with Iraq without even getting congressional approval, which itself is unconstitutional.

all 3 institutions require that the enrollee be
completely dedicated to the cause whether
willingly or through conditioning.

there would be chaos without that element
of control.

It's not a war,it's an "operation" or "conflict",duh. This great country would never use an euphamism (sp?) to justify a war. We never had a war in Korea either.

Yes,all chaos and the bowels of hell would have broken lose because I wore an "innapropriate" Bad Religion t-shirt with a Christian cross with an X going through it. Nowhere in the 1st ammendment does it say "this applies to everyone but high school students."

I think the broader point is that the reason for starting the first pre-emptive war in American history (except that one with the indians), and the soldiers lives that have been paid so far and will continue to be paid was predicated on information that was corrupted, by whose-ever hand, and that the aftermath was ALWAYS referred to by the administration as something that would take less than a year. In fact, one of their original statements, and statements by the original planners of the war, was that within six months they would have only fifty thousand troops there. Now the 2-5 year figure is being bolstered around, but to tell the truth I dont think we will be able to leave there in less than five to seven, unless we leave in defeat.

Of course the military agrees to serve no matter what, but if the whole truth had been told, including realistic expectations of servicemens's lives and the amounts of time it would take to rebuild something there, how many citizens and congressmen and senators would ahve been behind the war (action, whatever).

When soldiers lives are lost, there is more than an obligation to make sure thier lives were lost for the truth and not for half baked exagerations and denial of what the true costs of the after war mission would entail.

This war was planned by make believe people in a make belive world, but the boys and girls in the real world are over there in the desert dieing. The thing is, no matter whether there was deception or just plain incompetance we are stuck with the pig in the poke, and if we leave to early we will have worse problems than we did before.

I don't see how anyone with simple logic skills could defend this war with a straight face.

Funny thing, that's how many "righties" feel about many, if not most, things that "lefties" try and defend.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
