Enough of this militaristic bullshit !
We all know we need a military to defend our country, don't we? But must we have George Bush on the TV every day or two, talking to some military group? Must we have these retired generals on all the talkshows as experts on the military situation in Iraq? What happened to civilian control of the military? What are we? A banana republic? Enough of this militaristic bullshit.

2. You're demoralizing the troops
:sarcasm:

It's just BushCoInc's tired method of campaigning. Uber militarism worked for them with 9/11 and 2004, they're hoping it will again. But it will fail.

4. The day is coming when you will either be a soldier
or be hunted by them...

5. unfortunately, the military has become deified in american society.
and the fact this country keeps a way too large military for mere self defense, allows it to seek violent and wasteful solutions to every foriegn policy problem.
