Some of my best friends still serve. My father served. One of the kindest, gentlest people I know is a SEAL.
Based on the conversations and actions of the people mentioned above, I disagree with you 100%. And while most of the people mentioned above would also disagree with your opinion, they are all willing to die defending your right to say it.
Consider that.

Explain that to me. They are defending my right to state my opinion by fighting in Iraq? How is this. Iraq was not a threat to my freedom of speech before the war started. Maybe I just havent met a nice murderer yet. Anyway you put it , whether they are gentle or not, they are murderers, and im sure they will eventually pay for it. Im sick of people saying they are fighting for us. Bullshit. The country would have been fine without this war.
You spent time carrying a rifle with a few hundred soldiers? So you have fought? If so, how do you feel about taking someones life? Does it give you pleasure? Do you worry about burning in hell?
