Everyone is free to voice their opinions. And Kat, I believe you confuse hate with criticism and I think the response we saw from Ally was the only hate comment in this thread so far. What Dave contributed was legitimate criticism. You don't have to agree, but you have to respect his opinion. Furthermore, if you objectively evaluate Dave's arguments, you will see that he has a point. What is your point? Can you contribute to the discussion with constructive arguments yourself? Kat and Ally,

And for any service person, in any country, who now, or ever has served in the armed forces, thank you. The really ironic thing about the comments is... the only hateful comments are the ones posted by the anti-war crowd. Almost gets to be a "hate all war or I kill you" kind of thing. More things that make you go hmmmmmmm... Thanks for the great post, Ryan. And for any service person, in any country, who now, or ever has served in the armed forces, thank you.

To secure oil-supply and power relationships. Ask your local CIA.
