I'll say it too, war makes me sad. I hate it, and with regards to this war, hind sight is 20/20. However, that does not change my belief that we should be over there, and trust me, I know PLENTY of people will disagree with what I just said.Originally Posted by Cheese
Adrian, I do agree that being a liberal in college is a rallying cry, I see it every day. Between a fair portion professors, speakers, and simply the atmosphere on campuses, what are young and impressionable minds to do?
Now, I'm not saying that only the young and impressionable become liberal, not at all. We need a balance of ideas, that's what makes the US such a great country.
The one thing that I do have a problem with is the utter hatred of this administration. It's one thing to disagree with them, it's another to not have the slightest respect. I think that is my biggest issue with this "modern day college liberalism" I don't need to elaborate here because I think we all know what I'm speaking of.
And yes, it would be wrong if the roles were flipped. An example would be how Mrs. Pelosi is visiting Bashar Assad. Now, I can go on and on about how much I don't agree with her, but she's doing what she thinks is right and I respect that she's got the balls (haha) to do it.
That is too bad for what happened to your buddies, it's sad that society can be "harmed" by something so small and insignificant.
I too am deeply saddened by the life that is lost over there. Every time I hear about it, I do wonder if it's right that we are over there. So, every one, please don't feel like I'm blindly supporting the war.
Sorry for the long response with all the tangents.
