Little Hawk,
   I definitely do NOT believe that people who are "for" the war can be pigeon-holed into the complete description that you've drawn here. You might as well be saying that anyone who agrees with you is a straight-thinking inciteful person willing to think things through to a logical conclusion, whereas anyone who doesn't agree with you is a mindless puppet who can't come up with an entire thought on his/her own. Perhaps that is why you don't get many replies for those who are in favor of this war. Anyone who has spoken up in these threads has been called war monger, puppet and has not been given any credit for just simply having a different opinion.

   I talked to some naval reserves on Saturday night during a break at a gig. I went over to talk to them and thank them for what they do. They looked at me like I had three heads. After talking for a while I realized why. One said, "We're takin a beating...all we want to do is do our job, and all I hear people talking about is how we shouldn't be over there. How innocent people are being killed. You can say what you want about how they support the troops, they just don't support the war and President Bush, but it's what WE are doing that you're complaining about, so like it or not, we're the targets of the verbal abuse and insults." These are people whose job it is to put there lives on the line to protect the rights of those who think what they are doing is wrong. Kinda ironic if you ask me.
