  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    What is your favorite military movie?

    i really liked the thin red line. Very artistic and beautiful, but not really a conventional war film.

    What is your favorite military movie?

    We Were Soldiers was alright. A gripping story told in a decent if slightly ham fisted manner. The ending was a cop out however, with the battle ending in a bayonet charge. Not true to fact, and unreasonable melodramatic. Platoon, Full Metal Jacket are very good movies. I know there are those...

    celebrate veterens day today

    To honor the men and woman who chose to serve when called and/or volanteer. To potentially sacrifice everything for a belief in somthing larger then themselves. Take issue with specifics of when and how our nation goes to war, but always honor those who served and grant them respect for that...

    Is the war on terror WW3 or WW4

    Here is a thought. Assuming that the cold war could be considered WW3, who were the aggressors? In WW2 we assume the United States entered the fray after Pearl Harbor, to quell the agressive world conqueing axis. In the cold war, however, we often initiated military conflict, directly and...

    Vietnam Veterans, What is your oppinion of Kerry?

    Vietnam Veterans, What is your oppinion of Kerry?

    well this thread will soon be obsolete. Probably disapear forgotten as Kerry fades from the public eye. Its too bad, but I supose the swift boat veterens can claim a small victory in all this, and for that I will always be angry. A wound that will never heal, perhaps. Pride and prejudice have...

    Vietnam Veterans, What is your oppinion of Kerry?

    whatever Giap thought of Kerry, it does nothing to disprove his testimony or taint his image. The opposing commander may or may not favor certain political positions of the enemy for numerious self serving reasons. The bottom line is if our military and political leaders had a more...

    Vietnam Veterans, What is your oppinion of Kerry?

    Here is the interesting thing. Lets say the figure of 10% is accurate. (The commander's figure that 10% of vets had committed "atrocities") Aproxametly 2.5 million men served in active duty in Vietnam. That would mean aprox 250,000 men committed "atrocities" at one point or another. If each...

    Vietnam Veterans, What is your oppinion of Kerry?

    Even as President Bush apologized for the abuses by the military under his command, questions have resurfaced about allegations that Kerry, his Democratic challenger for the presidency, made about the behavior of US troops in Vietnam three decades ago.... Three weeks ago, Kerry said his...

    Vietnam, Iraq, Kerry, war crimes, and court martials

    Vietnam Veterans, What is your oppinion of Kerry?

    incredible well put. Sounds like the words of a rational, patriotic, and sensative man. If those words are criminal, then throw me in jail.

    Vietnam Veterans, What is your oppinion of Kerry?

    a moving post, but it doest really shed any light on why john kerry was never prosecuted for treason by an establishment that certainly would have if they possessed the legal power.

    Vietnam Veterans, What is your oppinion of Kerry?

    So the obvious question then is why wasnt John Kerry tried for treason? Here you have a man who had been a major thorn in Nixon's side sense returning from the war. He was clearly a priority of the Nixon whitehouse, and somone withome they would have discredited given ANY oppurtunity. So why...
