18. i can't say I appreciate the tone that used towards dems that are antiwar on this forum

It's easy to mock those who are opposed to war when you never have had to face war and its impacts yourself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that you've never been on a dismounted patrol in Iraq or had to stuff a body bag with the remains of a person who was killed as a result of politicians who were eager to wage war in the middle east. I spent 13 months doing just that from Feb 2004 through March 2005 and I know exactly what the reality of the war on Iraq is. If you'd like, I can share some of the specifics and details.

Our great democratic presidential candidate can spout off about how great the gift of freedom we gave the Iraqis is, but when you see how the awesome generosity we have bestowed on the Iraqis is in reality, you kind of get a different feel for it. However, reality is kind of a downer at times. It forces you accept that some of the things you willingly believe and are told to believe are wrong.

If being antiwar is now on par with being anti-democrat then so be it. I guess that makes me anti-democrat then.
