Hey all you people out there who think that war on terror is a huge waste of time and lives! I'm aiming this at you. My dad, Neil Poynor is a Iraqi War Vet and I am hurt that someone would have the audasity to say that we shouldn't have this war. Would you rather have people over there fighting for our safety or be to scared to go any where because we arent safe? I, unlike you, am very thankful for them. Thank you very much for all that you have done to all the vets out there!

Megan:I know you are proud of your dad.I'm proud of my son.I am one of those anti-war activists you were writing about.My son is an Iraqi War Vet,too.He went to Iraq 3 times.He was hurt on his second tour when he was shot in the leg.He was in the hospital for 6 weeks.He was sent back to Iraq to finish his tour,and then was sent back again.Megan,My son never smiles,and is drinking himself to death.That is what war and killing do to you.There were many lies told by our leaders to drum up a reason for us to wage war with Iraq.Many corporations have become wealthy off the war.Our veterans have been deserted by our government.There are 400,000 homeless veterans.Of the 657,000 veterans of the first gulf war,300,000 are sick from being exposed to depleted uranium.Megan,I belong to 2 groups,Veterans for Peace and Veterans for America.I hope your dad is healthy and happy.If he isn't,I'm the one who is there,fighting for his rights.I love America,Megan.I wouldn't bother if I didn't.

Beth- Stop wasting your breath. I, for one, am tired of seeing your stupid little comments. My dad is too. Your son is normal. He is depressed. So is everyone else. He will eventually get over it. Just stop posting comments

Megan:One thing your dad,my dad, my grandpa, and most of my male relatives have fought for is the Constitution,You should read it sometime.There is something called the First Amendment,in which everyone is allowed to have their comment.I accept that you and I have different opinions.I would never prohibit you from speaking out.Keep writing,and so will I.It's our duty as Americans.We shouldn't condemn and censor those who disagree with us.That is what happened in Stalin's time,in Hitler's time.I believe there is room for all opinions,not just one.Sorry,I will not be quiet-that indicates consent.Have a nice day!
Please,DUers-have a go at the locals.It gets lonely here...
