Conservative girls are the easiest.
Have to take your word for it.
Conservative girls are the easiest.
I don't know, man. Not everyone in the military thinks in the same way. I used to be a libertarian when I was growing up, but as I got older I began to take a hard look at my values. I voted for McCain in 2008, but went for Obama in 2012. I didn't vote in 2004 (the first year that I was eligible) because I was in Iraq at the time and we didn't get our absentee ballots until about three weeks after the election ended.
I am too. Being in the military, particularly in SOF made me more liberal than I was when I enlisted.

Sometimes it can be very difficult. Especially when I don't think the other person has fully thought their choices of sides through. Sometimes I think people just pick and chose a few things to get behind and ignore the rest that their party stands for in general.Is it really that difficult to imagine someone having a different set of standards/beliefs/political views?
We get it, you don't agree with them. You made your point.
I was in Iraq in 04 as well. Where were you at? I was in Kirkuk, Tikrit, Al Kut, Al Hay, As Salamaniyah, Baghdad, An Najaf, Al Amarah, and a few other places. Maybe we crossed paths at some point.

See my post above yours brother.Where did I say I was for socialism, taking away guns, or voting for Hillary? I mean, if you're thinking of total liberal caricatures then of course we all want full communism, complete gun control, FEMA death camps, and all that other shit. But dude, if you were to just take a second to go through the 2A thread, or the Hillary email thread, you will see that I am: 1) Pro-gun, and 2) Pretty openly anti-Hillary. Or shit, you could've just asked instead of assuming I was some ridiculous parody of a liberal.
3rd LAR. We were mostly in Rutbah but we also spent a little time up in Al Qaim. The battalion split up for Phantom Fury and unfortunately I was one of those unlucky folks who had to stay back. Or maybe it was lucky? I don't know.I was in Iraq in 04 as well. Where were you at? I was in Kirkuk, Tikrit, Al Kut, Al Hay, As Salamaniyah, Baghdad, An Najaf, Al Amarah, and a few other places.

Right on, I don't have any of those places marked on my map so we probably never crossed paths. Yeah I see now where Rutbah is. I never went west of Ramadi.3rd LAR.

My critical thinking determines that you and deathy aren't really liberals at all. I think that you think because you see one or two things in a liberal way that makes you a liberal. Well it doesn't it just means that you have some liberal viewpoints.Sigh. If it is difficult, maybe you should expand your critical thinking skills. I can easily put myself in the shoes of an opposing argument most of the time. In fact, I hold pretty conservative opinions, but I think that they are not realistic in our current society.
Being a liberal doesn't equate to being anti-gun, and certainly doesn't mean I am pro-Hillary. Critical thinking man, you should check it out.
I like that. Thanks for posting. I have learned something new.
Right on, I probably know the team you were with or the team that was with you. I was in Baghdad with those guys for a minute when I was getting checked out after a humvee roll-over while I was in the turret. Screwed my back up pretty good but they gave me some good meds. Was it Tikrit or Baghdad that had the lions? I can't remember.I was in Baghdad 04-05, actually my platoon used to take a 3 man Psyop team around on patrols. Haifa, East Baghdad, Zanfrinia, a few times up to Sadder City. I spent some time in Najaf (North Side) June-August 2004.
Different times those were...
