Because im pretty sure i remember you saying you didn't, yet your saying things how Moore edited the congressmans response, first, if you havent seen it, how would you know. And second, if you have how would you know what his actual response was? Obviously they didnt show the response, so how do you know he didnt give just what he said.

I read the transcript. I watch the news. I follow current events.

And let me ask you this Strangler, If you have 3 kids, would you send them willingly to war? I doubt it. If oyu have kids, the last thing you want to do is send them into war, yet you would have no remorse for sending anyone elses children to war, now would you?

I would not send them to war, as no parent actually sends their child to war, but I would not stop them from going. This is a country where we have the freedom of choice. If my children choose to go into the military, I would not stop them from going to Iraq. The military is not the boy scouts. Its not summer camp. The military is a public service where you know when you go in there is a chance you may see fighting and you may be killed. It always makes me laugh when people act surprised that military personnel are asked to fight in defense of our nation and other free peoples. Thats what they're there for.

( You're probably in favour of the draft, arn't you?)

And no, I'm not for the draft unless absolutely 100% necessary. I don't believe this is one of those times and the only time I feel it was necessary was during WW2.
