http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/People/PeopleAllVictims.aspx  37,261 ppl dead in 2008 alone by car accidents.  Should we mandate that all cars be turned to scrap?

No. The number of people killed each year in auto accidents is impertinent. If you are going to justify spending $650 billion (and counting), 4,200 US casualties (and counting), and 30,000 US wounded (and counting), you better have a better argument than that.

50,000,000 people freed from a dictator and a repressive Taliban mini-caliphate.  PS we are not just in Iraq and Afghanistan just to let you know.  Ask any soldier if they would rather stay here when they return or go back and finish the job and they will not hesitate to say that they need to finish the job.  I can't help how Obama's extreme "end the wars now, man" flank is pushing policy but he said in 2007 and continues to that "Af. is a war of necessity."  (Although I do love a Dem civil war  )

 

By the way, I talked to the LTC here about ROTC and I probably wouldn't qualify for medical reasons otherwise I would jump at serving unlike these pansy hippy college kids.
