gun nut gets killed by gun

Was hoping oletoes could we go back a step before that and maybe wonder why there were insurgents attacking US forces in Iraq? Maybe even one more step and wonder why exactly US forces were in Iraq, before we jump to the conclusion that this was that someone needed to do.

I don't know if you are being obtuse or not, but I am referring to the larger responsibility of simply serving in the military. Not of tactical matters.

I thought we had concluded that the war in Iraq did nothing to further American security, quite the contrary, and therefore accolades heaped on those who served there for "keeping us safe" or "preserving democracy" were not really accurate (not that it was necessarily their fault they were sent there, aside from any who joined up specifically requesting duty there.)

and beyond that, the hero-worship skews public understanding of our foreign policy and stifles any criticism of the same, and therefore should be avoided.

We've been over this before...

but anyways... yeah, kudos for him for trying to help out fellow vets suffering from PTSD, but there are probably - no, definitely - better (and smarter) ways to do that than by going shooting. Professional psychiatric help or maybe group therapy in relaxed settings being the only ones I'd suggest.

who are the retards who agreed to what you claim? more than likely they just got tired of arguing with someone who is as clueless as you. by now we know there is no getting through that retarded brain of yours, so people stop debating with you. that is far from agreeing that you are right in your BS views.
