No, not really. Been off the Rant for the weekend and now I come back to see this.



This guy "the soldier" served his country and I'm damn proud of him.

This guy "the civilian" killed himself and this is a tragedy, as are the 22 suicides per day you say are occurring. I would never judge those for their atrocities under combat or how they decided to face them afterwards. But it was their calling, not mine.

Having said that, I'm not sure what your response has to do with what I said.

If your not for protecting this countries' interest, settling the region to a point where Iraqs leaders aren't chem bombing 100s of thousands of their own people, keeping mad men from developing nukes, and retaining a resource for this countries' use to help preserve our way of life, then I'm not sure we have anything else to discuss,

ever.
