Should War supporters "Put Their Money Where Their Mouth Is"?

[Yollam]

Poll question: Should War supporters "Put Their Money Where Their Mouth Is"?

Do you think people who supported/continue to support the Iraq Invasion should have to go over and fight themselves/send their kids over to fight, or STFU?



(I sure as hell do.)


And there are no copout, nuanced, "other" choices on this one..

1. Yes, or their kid's asses!

It would be the manly thing to do.

[Sammy Pepys]

2. No nt

3. Since they believe the liberals are undercutting the Iraq war effort only

conservatives should be there. All liberal troops should be sent home & replaced with conservative ones starting with the Bush's daughters. Most of the folks that support the war are chicken hawks - look at Bill O'Lielly & oxyboy for examples.

4. Yes. "DRAFT YOUNG REPUBLICANS"

I have that Bumper sticker on my car. If THEY support it, THEY should fight it.

5. Put their money. . .and their balls. . .where their mouth is. . .

6. As we used to say back in the VN era....

Fucking A Ditty bag. You wanna talk the talk, pack your gear and get on the boat.

Not a lot has changed in 40 years, at least not for the better. The ones supporting the war are the ones who never had to go. Chickenhawks.....all of them. :puke:

7. I've wondered why the gvt isn't selling war bonds? n/t

[ArbustoBuster]

8. Yes, but for reasons of safety.

If you're dumb enough to still be supporting the war in Iraq at this point, I want you far away from me on another continent.

9. Abso-fucking-lutely. - n/t

[Hippo_Tron]

10. No, but if they say that those who don't support it are unpatriotic

Then, yes

[Donald Ian Rankin]

11. Absolutely not.

Any more than opponents of the war should have been forced to move to Iraq if it hadn't happened.

I think that there is a case for demanding that those people who advocate a war for purely selfish reasons fight in it themselves, but - to give the devil his due - the vast majority of the supporters of the invasion of Iraq support(ed) it for reasons other than personal benefit.

There is, I think, a case for making the oil companies who stand to benefit most from the war pay some of the cost, but there's nothing hypocritical in advocating a war without being willing to fight in it personally, any more than there's anything hypocritical about advocating any other cause of action without being willing to risk death for it. That sounds mistaken, at first, but it's actually fairly clearly true - there's nothing hypocritical about advocating sending firemen into a blazing building but not being willing to join the fire brigade myself.

12. Whenever they say "love it or leave it" (and mean "love Bush or leave it")

we should respond "sign up or shut up"
