I have been thinking about someone saying on this site that people expressing left/liberal/progressive point of view on this site were trolls. I think this may be as a result of the impression in the US that only republicans are warriors and democrats and lefties are pussies. In Australia some of our warriors are very left wing. Tom Uren was a POW of the Japanese and after the war became a Government Minister and a member of the Australia/Japan friendship association. I believe in social justice, free education and medical care for all. After that you can own as many yachts as you want. The only difference between me and a right winger is in a war after i kill a guy for a split second I feel sad for his kids before I blow his best friends brains out. I have been in the reserves and have been up the sharp end in other ways for my society and I resent the idea I can't be progressive/liberal and military minded.

Actually there are plenty of folks who are leftist and yet very militaristic. Unfortunately for us the bulk of these folks made up our enemies such as the FARC, Chinese Communist Guerillas under Mao, Che Guevara etc. so the concept itself is not as alien as one may think.
But dude, being conservative pays better!

You make a good point. Principles don't pay the bills. Where is that Blackwater application?

Moved to the proper section.

Your comments seem a little hypocritical to me. You don't want others judging your military prowess based on your liberal views, yet you're basically saying all of those with conservative views are cold blooded killers with no conscience. Basically, you're doing what you claim others do to you. Just sayin'

Oh, and Blackwater doesn't exist anymore. Might want to find other work.

PJ that's for him to figure out. Few people make sense so I don't really expect him to.
Who knows, he might be one of those guys who can cuddle a puppy and then throw him off a bridge, come home and still consider himself an animal lover!

On me? Not at all, you don't even know if I'm liberal or conservative. I think it just makes you look a little silly since you can't prove your point without the juvenile hypocrisy. That's all my brother.

Nice try at saving it though!
