Yes indeed, it is a volunteer army. None the same, the President has no right to command our young men and women to death voluntarily

Finally, you've gotten down to brass tacks!! This is where the true differences reside! The radical left using Cindy Sheehan as their spokes person believe in this statement and will use any means at their disposal to convince the American public of its validity. Those "means" include distortions lies epithets against the current administration and much to the disgust of the majority of Americans, dead sons and daughters, in order to convince the public of the righteousness of their cause.

Your statement is the very reason that you have so much trouble debating the issue of Iraq on its own merits. One of the greatest parts of being President resides in the very issue of whether it's time to use military force to safeguard American lives at home or abroad. It's part of the office of the Presidency and all who enter there take up this responsibility willingly. Even the meekest president in recent history, Jimmy Carter, put military lives at risk during his administration.

Dude, looking back at our debate so far I know your heart's in the right place but you've got to use your brain to see the realities of our situation without all the BS.
