In the comments to this post, an anonymous troll posted the following:
So Harv, if it’s so wonderful over in Iraq, why to hell aren’t you over there serving in some capacity. Nothing to be afraid about buddy, I can assure you of that. Just make sure you bring along some decent body armor.
Why am I not in Iraq?
Probably because I’m a spineless coward who lets other people fight his battles for him.
But at least I have the decency to show some gratitude to those who have chosen to do so.
Anyway, I didn’t want to have to play the “prior service” card, but since Spacemonkey & Daniel did it for me, I’ll point out that I served on an aircraft carrier (USS Enterprise, CVN 65) during the late 80’s. This was back when the Russian war plan included having nukes aimed at her, so I’m not a complete stranger to “ass on the line”.
So what’s YOUR excuse, anonymous troll? If you oppose the war, how come you’re not in Iraq fighting alongside the terrorists?
There’s probably nothing to be afraid about as long as you hide in a mosque.
