Aug 20, 2008 - wow.. You do know that the people that join the army or military have a duty to fight. SO technically speaking if you're joining the military then there is a chance you will have to go to war. THUS it's a volunteer war. SO guess what? The soldiers DID choose to fight! 80% now say they want to stay and even ones that got wounded want to go back and fight.

PubliusAfricanus Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Talking about the American people, asshat.And who gives a fuck if soldiers want to stay? They are soldiers, fighting is what they are trained to do, of course they'll want to stay. Unfortunately for them, this is America, not Sparta.

Falstaff85 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - There were like 100 people there... anti-war protests garner hundreds of thousands.

Aug 20, 2008 - i like the part where they start booing the mother of a dead soldier, and then brake out into a chant of usa usa usa.

Aug 20, 2008 - MICHELLE is a vile NEOCON warmonger fake conservative who gives lip service to social conservatives to get whats really sacred to them-more WAR for OIL and ISRAEL. How do you like $4 gas? $9 trillion debt? Dollar losing half its value? Nice job NEOCONS! Also 911 is a fraud. You tube WTC 7 COLLAPSE and you judge for yourself.

Aug 20, 2008 - Again let me say this so Liberals Can understandThere would be no USA if moonbats had surrendered to England . There would be no USA if Lincoln had caved in to the 1860's moonbats.There would be no USA had Roosevelt caved in to his generation of moonbats , and kept us out of WW2 . There would no Civil Rights had MLK caved in to whit racists. Radical ISLAM IS That Enemy DO YOU GET IT NOW

pluto545 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Actually you are wrong on certain accounts...The first and third scenarios involved invasions and an attack from the other side.Lincoln had to deal with Civil War, so technically we were fighting ourselves.Most of radical Islam probably doesn't like America, I can say the same for many other nations in the East and West. But how many have the stones or good enough motive to attack this country....besides what does Iraq have to do with terrorism?

OliviaSings Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - The Gathering Of Eagles are crazy people! I belong to a peace group, and they show up at our protests and scream nasty, disrespectful things in people's faces. They don't have a clue as to what us peace group people want. We all support the troops, just not the war. And the Vietnam war and this war was NOT about protecting our rights, or earning them because they were and arre not in danger (expect now for Bush taking them away) of being taking away. That was all the Revolutionary war in 1770's.

RON9463 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - MICHELLE is just another vile NEOCON warmonger. Because of BUSH and the NEOCONS we are bankrupt, $4 gas, Food inflation and $9 trillion in debt. Just for their phony WAR for OIL and ISRAEL. Nice job NEOCONS! Also 911 is a fraud. You Tube WTC 7 COLLAPSE and judge for yourself. It only takes 30 seconds. It is an obvious controlled demolition. WAKE UP!

NoVictims Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - America is a silly country.

attalahotboy Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - that's cause most Eagles are Vets, that have a right to protect the public from protestors.

attalahotboy Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - all conspiracy theories have been proven false...im so sorry to tell you this...

attalahotboy Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I see war protestors screaming profanity, I see Veterans standing by protecting the monuments from vandalism. If you have a problem with the current war, then there are proper channels to address it, the wrong thing to do is to deface a monument to the POW-MIA-KIA, imagine having lost someone in Vietnam, then someone comes along and defaces the National monument dedicated to their service, remembering those your loved ones? How would you feel if it was your family member?

OliviaSings Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - We do not deface things. We have respect for monuments dedicated to those who lost their lives in war.

jsmet Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - OliviaSings Your a liar. I was there and personally seen you ass wipe with orange spray paint. Marine Vet 68-72

OliviaSings Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Don't call me a liar. I wasn't there, so how are you going to blame me for their actions? I don't know what group that was, but I can tell you it wasn't a peace group. You see, us peace protesters, protest peacefully. Hence the name.

attalahotboy Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I did not directly acuse you or even you group of the damage. BUT protesters did do in DC, and that is the only reason Eagles exist in the first place...

attalahotboy Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I do understand why and what you do, lets face it, NO ONE REALLY WANTS THE WAR. I'll give you that. Most people seem to think that we like being at WAR, that's BS, I spent 5 years in the Air Force, 3 of those were spent supporting the ground troops, moving cargo, etc. No one wants to be there, nor did I...But I can tell you, the good people, who live there, no longer live in fear, they can walk the streets, and be free, versus what is was like with Saddam in power...

BOATR37 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Since the evil warmongers, michelle Malkin and Bush started the war for oil, when will we quit screwing around, shoot all the Iraqis and take it? But my burning question is this; did Elvis have anything to do with 9/11?

RON9463 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - MICHELLE is just another NEOCON fake conservative. They sucker the social conservatives in for whats really sacred to them. More WAR for OIL and ISRAEL. Now we have $4 gas, 9 trillion in debt, bankrupt and inflation for their WAR. Also 911 is a fraud. You Tube WTC 7 COLLAPSE and it looks exactly like a controlled demolition.

captdodd Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Controlled demolition? Damn! They must have spent a month carrying all the c-4 or comp B up to all the floors, cutting holes in the walls to place and shape the charges, repair the holes and clean up the mess everytime. A movie should be made. (Mission impossible II)

HalfEatenCookie1793 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - You see if people understood why they can protest they wouldnt protest. Fuck all Communist Liberal Dick Sucks like these.

madams99 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Americans can protest because we have freedom of speech and a right to public assembly.The last time I checked Iraq/Saddam did not threaten either one of those freedoms, or any other rights we have (having cheap oil is not a right by the way).

KENA429 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - These NEOCON whores should be tried and punished for treason and war crimes. They know full well 911 was an inside job. You tube WTC 7 Collapse and its a controlled demolition. Also there were many reports that day of explosions inside the building. The "war on terror" is a fraud.
