2 week field opp= short training exercise down the road. active duty = 8 months of fighting terroists and watching as the civillian death count get closer to 30 000.

Not that anyone cared when the Iraqi civillian death count hit 20 000, just when the american soldier death count reached 1000. I also support the troops in Iraq, I just dont support the troops being in Iraq.

I think that we might be approaching the "no politics zone"... and if I recall, the limits are strictly enforced.


No, we are just wishing him and his fellow marines the best of luck, and mentioning our disapproval of the cause.

I was observing that politics were only being approached, not discussed. All it would take is a single comment to the second part of your statement.

I would consider (and this is just my opinion) the first part to be a admirable and very beneficial act. I too wish nothing but the best of luck and safe return to all who serve.

The second part, (again, only my opinion) is not political as long as everyone shares your disapproval. If someone were to offer an opposing view, it will then have indeed entered the realm of political discussion. And tainted the noble intent of the first.


Well, I'm not about to turn this into anything it shouldn't be and I see your point. Oppinions, however, are ment to be shared. That's what a forum is all about. I can deffinatly see how you could see some of these comments as political, and yes, that should be avoided.

Good luck to you man.

My dad is in the Airforce and we move around about every two years, and right now we are stationed in South Korea. In about Eleven months we will be moving to God knows where.
The men in my family (On all sides) have pretty much all served in the military.

My uncle was a Ranger.
My other Uncle, a Canadian paratrooper.
My Grandfather, a West Point graduate and tank commander.
My father, a Air Force Academy graduate and right now Luitenent Colonel and Squadron Commander.
My Great grandfather, a WWII Pacific Marine. (Who brought back a Jap Samuri sword and rifle)
And me, Well not right now, but I will be in the military.

So good luck to you and be real safe, and those days will go by fast, and when you get home, Halo 2 shall be there...waiting. : )

Well instead of thining about halo 2 while you're there, just amke it up in yourt head and pretend you're master chief with your gun and run around talking to a computer chip in the back of your head. Thats what i'd do.

Just becuase he doesn't support mister bush's warmongering doesn't mean he is against the troops that have no choice and are fighting for their country.

Thanks you guys. I reserved my copy and my wife will be playing it the whole time I am gone, so when I come home she will put the whoop on me. As for all of your "non-political" opinions, here is my 2 cents-

1. War sucks. ALOT
2. any death sucks no matter who they are
3. The world is a scary place and these are dark days
4. No matter how you feel, be greatful that you have that luxury to decide for yourself what your feelings are- and that reason right there is why I fight.

Anyways, It is alot better to slay people in HALO because there is a reset button. BTW I am in 2nd Light Armored Recon based in camp lejune. Thanks for your replies
