    I do like Canada for one thing...Strange Brew. A true watershed moment in movie making. Oh and another. It gives the poor wittle polar bears somewhere to go when Gorebal Warming really kicks in.
    You forgot about somewhere to run to, to avoid conscription.
    They'd have come to you too, Bob, if it weren't for that infernal pond.

    Sick

    How ironic would that be? The "conscientious objector" leaving the U.S to go to England to avoid persecution(perceived indeed). I'd tell them "I think WE already did that in the reverse."
    Oh well. I'd rather they leave now than have to look at a TIME cover with one of them putting a daisy in the barrel of a rifle.

    You have raised an interesting question. Did these conscientious objectors carry guns for personal safety?

    That many of them crossed the border into Canada that the Canadian forces now have difficulty recruiting people who's fathers did not come from the USA. Or do they accept anybody?

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Yeah the U.S has the Army,but who the hell said we could use it?
    I refer all to Generals Sherman and Grant's concept of "Total War"
    Grant was called a butcher by Mrs. Lincoln during his Overland Campaign.

    Grant understood that he had the muscle and the men to get the job done. The reason the Union Army rallied around U.S Grant was because all the Gen. before him had put their tails between their legs and fell back to
    re-group. Grant realized he had the superior numbers and methods to wage war.

    My point is that we do have the worlds most advanced Army. But we can't use it! When did the idea of War change from Domination,Submission,and Annihilation of the enemy to "Is that bomb gonna hurt somebody?"

    This kind of "Humanitarian Warfare" is exactly the kind of thing that is going to cost the U.S and Europe countless body bags because there are countries...need I name them...that don't play by these namby pamby rules.

    The media and all these watchdog groups need to wake up and let the people who are dealing with reality do their jobs...fully.

    The people who are dealing with the reality of the war in Iraq said that we should withdraw our troops immediately as they are just exasperating the situation. I am talking about the commanders of the US forces in Iraq.
