Conservatives have joined in. I just hope that the next time we are in a similar situation, the conservatives consider the liberal position a little sooner before many lives are lost.

More than 80% of the American public are against the war in polls. These are Americans, not Democrats and Republicans! Quit trying to make it a left/right debate and realize that conservatives (whats left of us) oppose this war as well. I think all of this liberal/conservative talk is crazy.

My MOS(since I was Navy-NEC(naval enlisted classification) was a corpman. I can't remember the # though, it's on my DD-214 which I haven't looked at in years. It was the ONLY MOS/NEC for a CO to be. Since I was effectively drafted, I figured the VC are not buildiing battleships, I went Navy.
