Berkeley Protests Marines

[Matej]

Where does it say they're not supporting the troops? They're just trying to protect their children from being swayed into dying for some rich old guys' cause.

"go troops!"?? wow... thats pretty impressive. veterans make up the largest percentage of homeless people. who knew that? exactly. nice job supporting your troops.

your ages speak louder than any mindless bullshit you just typed... go back to sucking on your mommas tits until you've been in the real world a while.

Stereotypical American living in a bubble response, and I'm sorry if my age offends you. Show me one mother who's happy when her child joins the armed forces. By the way I can care less about some protesters in Berkeley or the marines because this doesn't affect me in any way, I'm just pointing out that there are two sides to every argument.

you and your mommy would be running to hide behind marines if the country were invaded. Show me one mother who is happy when their child buys a street bike. Show me one mother who is happy when their child decides to take up skydiving as a hobby. that methodology is utterly mind numbing. Do you do everything mommy wants you to?

say what you want but the marines and every other branch of the military are out doing a shitty as job that no one else wants to do so you and I dont have to. I dont wanna go out and stand in a hotass desert....or get shot at or have RPGs shot at me...and im sure they dont want it either, but they go out and do it. Whether the war is right or wrong is a non-issue. Everyones mother worries about them....my mom worries about everything I do...nevermind if I was gonna join the marines...and every marine whose in Iraq has a mother that is worried. But they make the concious decision as a man or woman to leave their family behind for what they feel is a just cause....so you shouldnt be treating them and the recruiters like theyre over in Iraq punching babies.....FUCK OMG the recruiters are here.....now I cant control what my kids think and do!....recruiters call my house...I tell em no thanks, you know why? cause i dont wanna go...no one is forcing me to say yes....you dont wanna join walk past the office or hang up the phone....you know why you have that luxury? cause other motherfuckers are going in your place

That's more of a seperation anxiety I would think. I don't think I meet ONE parent of someone in the armed forces that wasn't proud of their kid. EVERY one of them was proud. You should see when graduating from boot camp parents cry from being proud.

I realize that you're trying to take another side of the arguement but talking of something you don't know entirely about is the same as talking out of your ass.
