  • 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.

A more sensitive war

John F. Kerry: "I believe we can fight a more effective, more thoughtful, more strategic, more proactive, more sensitive war on terror that reaches out to other nations and brings them to our side."

I am writing this to military members, not as a debate post, but as a warning. Vietnam was fought with the sensitive in mind. We all know that we could have won Vietnam if we had committed forces en masse, instead of piecemeal and had not had the red tape of Washington holding out military back. What I am getting at is this: in Vietnam, we learned two valuable lessons:
1) limited war does nothing but get your own men killed. (we must apply overwhelming and precise force- done in Iraq twice)
2) limit the ability of the enemy to broadcast propoganda. (we did this moderately well from the 80's until OIF (operation iraqi freedom))
Today, they have Al Jezeera publicizing "American autrocities" with dark skinned people with turbins dressed in American uniforms. They also have the militants dressing in civies to make it look like we are killing civilians, when in fact this war has been the cleanest regarding collateral damage- but many in the American public buy into the propoganda. They have Iraq labeling buildings as "baby milk factories", when in fact they are military porduction facilities.
Do a search on Google for "Baby milk factory" and note the first row of images (I can not post links yet, otherwise I'd post links)
This is an attempt to do what was done in Vietnam by the VietCong- turn the American people against the war and our soldier's efforts.

Kerry wants to revert to old ways and old mistakes. He wants us to fight a sensitve war. I am very afraid of this man and what he will do to our ranks if he takes office. The military will be in grave danger if he wins. When his hand will be forced (and it will be), I am afraid for what will happen in regards to terrorism in the US, the weapons in North Korea and Syria and the potential weapons in Iran.

Again, this is for the military service-men and women. I am not trying to start a political debate, but to inform the military of the US of this issue that directly affects their lives.

God bless you,
APtC

I couldn't agree with you more. I am not in the military, but I am a military spouse, and I don't want my husband going to Iraq and "getting in touch with his feminine side" so that he can get himself killed. These people who want to kill our people do not care about whether we are "nice" to them. That would just mean that they can kill more of our people.

He is unfit to be commander in chief period! The man can barely be responsible for himself, much less lead others.

I don't think that Kerry or anyone is expecting your husband to reach out to other nations and bring them on our side. As far as this spun-up issue goes, are you equally horrified to find that Bush said more or less the same thing in 2001?

Got a quote to back that up?

um...
how does fighting a more sensitive war translate into 'getting in touch with your feminine side'?

It means getting to interact with the local population rather than blowing everything up for one. rather than dissing old allies who refuse to go along with your latest crusade, it means working behind the scenes for another.
