They might leave then... but i expect they will be followed home... Iraq is weird... the first war to be fought almost soley with the techniques of urban terrorism... The Arab veterans from Iraq are going to be far more suited and trained to attack America than the Afghan Arabs who fought using rural guerilla war tactics.

"No, America never loses a war, it never suffers defeat, for in the national narrative, in the fables and myths told the masses, America is blessed by the Christian god, she is good and everything else evil, she is right and all else wrong, her soldiers fight only for freedom and democracy, not for corporate and elite power."

One of the most elegant statements of the 'great myth' I have come across.

Well, their lost wars never have any consequences, it's not like they lose territory or have to pay reparations, change the way their country is run or have someone else's military in their homeland.
Just lost political and financial revenue.

There's only been one so-called 'lost' war - Vietnam.

Yeah, right-wing blogs have a lot more 'punch', exposing the Jihad loving commies, traitors like Carter and all...

Pity you haven't come up with any source nor argument that's been left unrefuted.

but look at it this way boonie.....if you're still alive in thirty years, you'll be able to bitch about barak obama, the hubble telescope and the dixie chicks.

in case you cant see it, you'll just be subsituting obama for carter, hubble for skylab, and the dixie chicks for jane fonda.....after all, it's their fault the US lost.

The Dixie Pigs are to the 2000s what Hanoi Jane was to the 70s, pal - anti-American traitors aiding the enemy and furthering Islamo-communism.

Then they are just like you, 5555555555555555 except you, you're just a sore loser. I pay respect to your Grandfather as he did respect HIS country and serve. His country might have been wrong on a lot of points (just like the US) but he stood with it and that does deserve some respect.

That's a new tune, usually I get attacked for my grandfathers supposedly being Nazis, when irrate dimwit posters run out of arguments.
That new tune is as far from the truth as the old one, dude!
It's the usual strawman routine...

No shame if he was.
