patriot finally works
so the patriot missle finally has a confirmed kill, unfortunately it's taget was a british airplane.
why don't people understand that it is possible to be against the war but still support the troops? it would seem to me that being against the war is the most support you could give the troops, since if there was no war they wouldn't be dying. i guess the flipside is that some people are unable to separate the government from the empolyees of the government and take out their disagreement with the policies of the government on the people who are paid to carry them out. they are unable to see that the fighting soldier has no option except to follow orders, and no alternative but to do so with passion or they increase their risk of death.
i think that the us has gotten a false since of ease to this war. i think there will be significant casualties in the coming days. i hope not, but i still can't see bagdad falling quitely.
and republicans still don't get the concept of conflict of interest.
