Killing people for money can often lead to feelings of guilt and low self-esteem, which can often lead to suicide.

Since we no longer force citizens to kill for the government, we cannot place blame on the government for the suicides of those who voluntarily choose the military as their career.

I think there are two things going on.

1) Mocking the Bush haters, throwing their own rhetoric out there.
2) Taking Obama to task for his failure to help main street.

As a lawyer, aren't you in violation of your hypocritical oath?

Maris, I do realize that you enjoy trolling, but you have no idea what you are talking about. This statement shows that you never wore a uniform or fught in combat. I do at times enjoy your off the cuff bullsit, but when it comes ti the military, I do not.

The fact of the mtter is there are higher suicide rates among combat vets due to the horrors of combat, watching friends die, and blaming ones self for still being alive.

That's what I said, while pointing out it's completely their choice to do that rather than be a coal miner or rodeo clown.

This thread was bizarre. It was like everyone was talking and not really responding to anyone else. And, it had squat to do with the title.

Either I'm going crazy or everyone else is...shoot, maybe we all are. Whatever the case, I'll be glad when the election is over.
