Pilots are directly responsible for the dropping of ordinance. Dropping ords in a war is still a far cry from murder. Obviously, if this is murder to you that's cool, you're entitled to that. I'm just mentioning that your definition is so permissive as to make your grandmother somebodies murderer. The reason that I mention this, is that you are of the opinion that somehow, Ron Pauls anti-war stance is some overriding good that would perhaps give us a reason to ignore the rest of Ron Paul. Well, presidents are the Commander in Cheif, and any war is going to have the president at the helm. Ron Paul would drop bombs on someone. Sure, you (and he) would make the case that it is self defense (or warranted somehow, in some way), but it's just special pleading as to what does or does not constitute murder. Conflicts you disagree with=murder, conflicts you feel are warranted=not murder. Correct me if I'm misreading you here.
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!
