I have no rage. I am not responding in caps. I said war mongering generals, not enlisted men. I said nothing about enlisted men.

So I would suggest your rage did not allow you to read my post correctly and you are projecting your rage onto me.

Do you think the generals were against the Vietnam war? And the few generals against the Iraq war were fired by bush. They proved to be correct by the way.

And being in the Vietnam war says nothing about the wars validity.

I was never going to fight that war and would have gone to Canada had I been forced to. Just as all good Germans refused to follow Hitler.

I felt the Vietnam war was an immoral war and history has proven me correct.

Exactly what did the Vietnamese do to us to warrant our sending the dogs of hell on them?

<<"war mongering generals"

Now I know you are seriously off your rocker. I grew up as a military "brat", am veteran myself, and my son is a Captain in the Army, recently back from Iraq.

Generals do not want war. Lesser ranks do not want war. "We", however, stand ready to do our country's bidding at risk to our own lives, and with the thought that we are honoring freedom and democracy by so doing.

If we are being used, "ours is not to reason why" and that's a tradition for which I hope our uniformed services never depart.
