So every war we've been involved in since 1776 was wrong? Why do you stop there -- after all, the British wouldn't have attacked us if we had only bowed to their demands and liked it, so that was our fault, right? The rest were either in defense of our nation, in defense of what we believed to be "our" territory, in defense of an ally, or in support of any other oppressed peoples.

'Known socialist'? Who the hell are you, MacArthur? Why does being a socialist stop his views from counting? And anyway, if you hate propaganda, how come you were brainwashed into joining the army, the #1 propaganda machine since the USSR?
And why are socialists dumber than anyone else? Frankly, some of your writing sounds like a paraphrase of 'Mein Kampf'!
<!--I will politely and respectfully point out the blatant stupidity in the first line of this section. MacArthur? You sure you don't mean McGuire? How about Macbeth? McDonalds? HOW ABOUT MCCARTHY, GENIUS?-->

Confusing McCarthy and MacArthur isn't that hard to do. Stop it.

Moving on. No, being a Socialist does not stop anybody's views from "counting". But being somebody who has a blatant disrespect for America and a history of slander, libel, misinterpreting, misquoting, misrepresenting, distorting facts, falsifying information, etc. etc. etc. (all that means lying, by the way), he's obviously not somebody MOST people would be gullible enough to trust. Which is why some believe Michael Moore should be given partial credit for Bush's re-election victory in '04. And by the way, I wasn't "brainwashed" into joining the Army, unless you're trying to spout that society brainwashes us to join the military, which is a complete crock. I didn't start talking to recruiters until after I had already decided to join.

This just shows the stupidity and hippocracy of US politics- two parties with names which are identical in meaning. both are just capitalistic, nationalist idiots, anyway.
Is there something wrong with being Capitalist? Or would you prefer us all to be in poverty, instead of just those who choose not to work for their money?

And 'It's fun to shoot some of them, sure...'. WTF? You sick freak! Even if that was a joke, you are still a sicko! Your either a homicidal maniac or a fascist! Or just someone with a sick sense of humour... Just because their 'bad' (in Bush's opinion, 'bad' = Muslim/ Socialist/ Black) doesn't justify murder. And what about all the evil freaks that the US military has supported? Like Batista, or the South Vietnamese government?
First, let me note, again, your ignorance. "Bad" doesn't mean Muslim, or Socialist, or black. Unless those Muslims or Socialists or blacks live to deprive others of freedom or life, through terrorism or other forms of oppression, they're fine, and we don't have a problem with them. Secondly, if you knew much about the United States, you could find much worse "evil freaks" we've supported. However, there is a means to an end, and sometimes a mutual enemy makes an ally. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Sometimes that comes back to, in a manner of speaking, bite us in the ass, but that's the risk we have to take.

Why do join then? To 'protect democracy'? Then your just a sucker...
If you want to do the dirty work of some rich fascist in Washington and pretend you're 'fighting for freedom' then that's your problem. The rest of us shouldn't have to support it.
Since you're most likely not American (in any sense of the word), I wouldn't say you should have to support it anyway. I believe you should, but if you don't believe the cause, you don't have to support it. As long as you don't get in our way, you're entitled to your own opinion. Not supporting something the government does is a freedom, one of the many freedoms the United States military has granted to millions upon millions of people around the world.

(Why do people say "rich" like it's an insult?)

Heheh. Teeth are fine, jaw's messed up -- I was blown to the other side of a vehicle (IED) and hit it off a seat, as with my hip, though I do have other slight "war wounds" there. And it's not too bad, I just limp a little bit sometimes, and every once in a while my jaw pops out of place and I can't open my mouth all the way, or use my mouth normally.
