I was hoping you would see the difference with how I spelled God and how you spelled god. That is what I was commenting on.

Look, I respect your service, but you are in the same category as Cindy Sheehan and John Kerry. You were probably turned down for some promotion you felt you deserved and decided to leave the service with a bitter resentment towards it.

I am an active duty service member myself and I am not a little boy, old man. I am 27 and have been honorably serving my country as an Airman for nearly 7 years. I know all too well the horrors of war as well as the horrors of civilian uprisings. Civilians don\'t have a code of conduct to adhere to, so before you start throwing tomatoes and calling us baby killers, you need to see how quickly the world would tear itself apart if there were no soldiers maintaining peace to the best of their abilities or preserving and promoting democracy and God given rights of humanity.

Now, we were discussing Rumsfield and did not want it to become personal. The point of my post was to have this question answered:

Too little too late?

Don\'t take things too personally soldier.

i hope and pray your number is never called up

god kept me alive for a reason when i should have died for that i give only him my life

sorry to disappoint you but i left on a gurney and not because i was passed over the last time i checked my papers read honestly discharged and no one requested my purple heart be returned

call me whoever whatever you like but it is worthless until you have walked in my shoes

Ok people - let's all calm down and keep this discussion civil.

Remember, absolutely nothing surprises God. Not even our elections.

if george jr was half the man his daddy or bill clinton the us wouldnt be in this mess

you cant blame the democrats for this one it was all the doing of the republicans

If you think Bush is ungodly, and I agree he is, but just wait till you see a democratic congress in power with these ultra-liberal courts.

God help us all, because this is a terrible turn of events for this nation.

sorry

Justin, yes it is too late. Rumy is an awesome guy, but he did tender his resignation three times before and each time GWB kept him on. It would have been politically expedient to have accepted the third offer.

As far as his replacement goes, both my dad and I have known the man for a long time. He's a career civil sevant; a harmless choice but not the man Rumy is.

I wasn't implying a dishonorable discharge on your part. People can honorably leave the military when their commitment is up.

I also respect your sacrifice and I hope you are not permanently disabled.

If God decides to call me home while honorably serving my country, then so be it. God will call me home on His time not mine.

But, when looking at the alternative to President Bush, and our former Legislation, it's even more frightening.

I'll say it one more time before closing this thread. Keep it civil. We're supposed to the salt of hte earth.

I know that emotions run high at election time, but that doesn't mean that we can throw caution to the wind and not watch our words. Words are powerful and they last forever.

[JustinM]

Also, no one is trying to censor our comments either. They just want us to be civil with each other and honor Christ. Sometimes I am too blunt with my comments and genuinely apologize and try not to let emotions control the discussions.

So, how do you all feel about Robert Gates?

thank you father god thank you

Hmmmm....I wonder if you would extend that same security and liberty to children in the womb now that the party of abortion and embryonic stem cell research has taken the reigns. Isn't this great, we will now pay taxes to fund research on the creation of human beings for the purposes of harvesting body parts. Great day indeed!

Thankyou Father God! Thankyou and praise Jesus!
