This is THE worst reason for war.....

If I have to die it will be to protect my loved ones and the land they live in. Not for fake gods or people long gone.

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Yeah may as well. It doesn't really fucking mean anything anyway does it?
Well, its not happening. you should be well aware by now of my sarcastic tone. Nobody is forcing you to chat with me, or to even respond to my posts.
So, I will make a deal with you.
You have a much better attitude with me when you post to me, and I will drop the sarcasm.
deal?

I understand your sarcasm rev, but don't gripe at people when they respond like jackasses to you.

Exactly. Acting like a douchenozzle won't keep too many interested in a dialogue.

You've already made up your mind and retreated to childishness, so, as Nap says, what is the point of trying to have a rational conversation with you? You define unreason when, upon being confronted by an opposing viewpoint, you simply play silly and then switch a topic from that which had serious merit to a mockery such as "best uniforms."

As far as what kind of war. Whichever one I get paid to engage in. That was enough for me, no sense in denying the obvious.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

A "douchenozzle"? 
One of ya'll just need to declare war. 
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

Attack the argument, not each other. You only get one warning from me, ladies. One and a half pages of mud slinging is sufficient.

my past posts say otherwise. You, on the otherhand, spent time trying to tell me how I should post. What I should post, and what I should not. I never did any such thing to you, and have been nothing but nice to you.
speak of childish, last I checked you were the one resorting to name calling...not me.
Now, as far as "any war that i would fight in", I would have to say I would not fight in any war. I will have nothing to do with it.
