Ranting against illegal war is rather different to ranting against, and insulting members of, the military - as I'm sure you know really. You just like to stir up reaction.

Most privates in the army are flipping burgers !
Are you not aware that there are McD's and Burger King instide the Green Zone ??
Its good to know our "Boys" are going out to war, fuelled on a nutritious diet. It goes back to my demographic comment. Half the soldiers out there probably survived on a diet of chips and Coke before signing up. I bet Ronald Mac and Co are doing a Whopping trade! Or is that Burger King?

I think there is every reason to keep "ranting on" Emma Bee ... otherwise people will forget the lessons and walk straight into another Iraq / Afghanistan (Iran next time maybe?)
Lets NOT forget that everything that the anti-war movement said would happen HAS come true !

Don't make me laugh! Some soldiers have brain cells? Prove it.
You have to be somewhat mentally imbalanced and/or just plain thick to want to be in the army...and as mentioned, it takes a certain kind of cold person to be OK with killing another person.
