with exceptions as already noted in this thread for people who really are putting themselves at risk by posting online.

I was thinking the other day after reading some posts here how DU and the party at large has become a collection of chicken hawks, which I never thought I'd see here. Not everyone, we have a fair sized number of veterans and pacifists here. But we have added a huge number of chicken hawks as well.

I'm a veteran, and I get pissed off at people who think going to war, staying at war, escalating war is all good now that Obama's in office - but not good enough that they'd risk their own comfortable life to go fight that war. It's important for other people to die for.

I don't care if the person is a democrat or republican, my attitude remains: If you support the escalation, if you support anything except total withdrawal now, go fucking enlist.
