He was a POW, I can respect that. But he was a damn fighter pilot, he's not seeing shyt up close and personal. Colin Powell and Chuck Hagel on the other hand are a different story. That's why it bothers me so much that Colin Powell, a childhood idol of mine (I was a military brat), went along with President Bush before the Iraq invasion, even though he backtracked later. I am also disappointed in SecDef Hagel for doing the same with President Obama.

these situations aren't even remotely similar

War is necessary such as catastrophes/natural disasters :yeshrug:

I learned that from one of my economics teacher in HS
i know this to be true, but part of me has to wonder....is it? Not in just this case but really is it? As a species haven't we come far enough to where we should be able to stop killing eachother over some bullshyt?

I mean think about it. HOw many BILLIONS of lives have we ended as a species over shinny rocks, paper with pictures and intangible ideas.

:smh:

As the war in Syria (or conflicts around the world) continue, realize that even military acts or interventions you deem noble or necessary are bound to incur further casualties of children. Take that into consideration always. It's hard to lose sight of that, and I'm the first one to admit that sometimes I do.

Just my two cents.
Uh huh. War is awful. But the current Syrian military doesn't mind using chemical munitions on their targets that are populated with adults and children. That requires military intervention rather than turning a blind eye, IMO. Syria is pushing the envelope.

1. U.S. used Agent Orange( Chemical Weapon) in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand
2. U.S. gave Iraq chemical weapons....killed hundred of thousands....
3. U.S. bombed Fullejah with Chemical Weapons in Iraq 2004
4. Israel used White Phosphorus( Chemical Weapon) in Operation Cast Lead in 2009.

You're exactly why this thread was made. You dismiss it with a few words as if you're describing the color of the sky.

So when are you enlisting/getting commissioned and joining the infantry to go help those adults and children out yourself?

Agent Orange is a deforesting agent to disperse flora.
Fallujah WP was used on non human targets in scope of its applicable use under international law same as it was in Operation Cast Lead.


Assad has gassed his people numerous times and is using WP on civilians.

Why don't you care about the Syrian people?
