Have actually heard someone express basically that sentiment.

It's despicable that Bush and Obama would repeat the same insanity of the Johnson and Nixon Administrations, all the while betraying the American people and sending their children, brothers, sisters, moms, and dads off to fight and die, or come back changed forever.

... Since 2001, more than 775,000 U.S. troops have deployed to Afghanistan, many repeatedly. Of those, 2,300 died there and 20,589 were wounded in action, according to Defense Department figures...

If you find this beyond outrageous, take a minute to reflect on what it must have felt like during the Vietnam War, when there was a draft, you could find yourself being shipped off to fight before you knew it.

One out of every 10 Americans who served in Vietnam was a casualty. 58,148 were killed and 304,000 wounded out of 2.7 million who served.

Few things focus the nation's attention like a draft during a hot war.

If Iraq had the WMD, then GWB, et al. wouldn't have felt compelled to create the "democratization" bullshit. But they didn't. And so they fucking stuck us in these two shitty wars.

Oh, so you finally admit that Obama was responsible for the death of thousands? I posted the same comment and people went hysterical on here.
