All because the military is guarding your right to do that. And the reason your troops are in Afghanastan is due to a group that would like to take that away from you. Not that you would know any better. After all - "Ignorance is bliss".

Well - that would depend. Given the way you've been espousing your beliefs on this board I'd think if you stated an opinion like that you would get a similar reaction. You have such a great way of talking about things.

Clearly you're not done commenting on the issue (given the reaction in this thread, and then you do it again a month later). And it's becoming increasingly clear you do mean harm. Maybe you ought to seriously rethink your strategy...
