Letter from an Army vet

[Nubclear]

I know quite a few vetrans who fanatically supported Bush up until a year ago...
WIth a few debates, I was able to convince them that Bush was not out for their best interests.

Che, check your PMs.

i don't know how reputable that website is, or if that article is legit or not. . . it SOUNDS like one of those articles that someone completely fabricates in order to prove their point, of course I'm not saying this article is one of those . . . i can't know that.

that being said, the only vet that i know (my grandfather, ww2) supports bush, and the war in iraq, and all that.

Why dont you and Mobius and davout combine your three threads into one and save a little space here on poly. Unless of course you all couldnt agree to share the spotlight.

Sprayber -- actually, this thread by Che seems much more interesting and legitimate than some of the other threads you're lumping it with.

[Sprayber]

I just don't understand the motivation of the thread. Is it to show that there are some people in the military that don't support Bush? I could rattle off the names of many that fit that description for a whole wide range of reasons. I could also name many that hate that the Army wears those damn black berets. Would that be earth shattering?

[MrFun]

So what if Che wants to share his own direct experience with such protests?

I don't think there's anything wrong with Apolytoners sharing what they saw as their own interesting experiences -- no matter what the topic is.

[Sprayber]

But you may be right. Perhaps this thread is better than the other two floating around there..
