Would you have said the same thing if the election had turned out differently? I think not. It would have been the same democracy in action.

Mike: You are wrong. The thread has been here for a year and a half. It was not political. My post urging people to vote may have appeared to be political since voting is political, but I never suggested that anyone vote for any one person. Just that they vote. I've said repeatedly on this site that I don't like Bush or Kerry and neither of them got my vote. If you think differently, fine. I couldn't care less. You can have your opinion as I have mine. If you think that terrorists are not here, you are sadly mistaken. They have been here for many years (long before 9-11, and they are still here). If you think fighting them "far away from US soil" wil prevent them from continuing to come over here you are very sadly mistaken. It encourages them. Either way, we will likely be fighting them for decades. Most likley here AND there. It isn't like they have to ship an army halfway around the world to attack us. That has been proven several times. Having our armies deployed around the world does nothing to prevent their arrival. It encourages them. However, in case you hadn't noticed, the "terrorists" who implemented 9-11 didn't come from Iraq, and weren't financed by Iraq either. That honor goes to our allies Saudi Arabia. But the longer we are in Iraq, it becomes more likely that Iraqi's will attack us at home. If you were in the military, then you know that the soldiers voluteered to be in the armed forces to protect and defend our country, they most assuredly do not volunteer to wage this war, they go where they are ordered. Many of our soldiers in the Middle East joined the National Guard with little expectation that they could be shipped thousands of miles away (2 or more tours of duty in some cases). Many of the soldiers did not expect their enlistment to be extended far beyond the contract they signed, they also didn't expect to be called back to the service YEARS after having performed their obligation and been honorably discharged

I voted last week and mailed in my ballot. I am set up as a permanent absentee voter because they keep changing my voting location, and my work schedule was making it difficult to get to the polls. Like GunnerRob, I have voted in every election since 1970 when I became old enough to vote.

You sure got that right, Steve! (Thanks, Will)

Which makes their sacrifice even more worthy of note. But make no mistake, not all of them support the decisions that put them there. (51% is a statistical majority) The bullets and bombs that take their lives don't select them based on their personal politics. These men and women are sacrificed for someone elses politics. And they have mine. In spite of my lack of support for the politics (of BOTH parties) that put them there and will keep them there.

I don't know, Vicky. I'm watching the news on NYC TV stations and they are already saying that results in some "key" states are coming in. I think that statements will be made, but I'm not so sure that they will really mean much until tomorrow at the earliest. As for the mechanics of voting, I must agree with you. I preferred the punch cards. Even as an absentee voter (without the machine) I had no real problems making sure the "chads" were completely detached. On the news radio this morning, someone was saying that there were voting machines in PA that had votes for one candidate already in memory before the polls opened. That kind of stuff, and the lack of checks and balances, a paper trail, etc concern me greatly. Computer glitches happen, and with no way to verify/recreate data some votes may not be counted, others may be counted twice and we will never know.

It's all HORSESHIT to me

Finding a unused garage is not a bad idea, but it is very difficult to do in a college/university/tourist town like Santa Cruz. Marc's concerns about noise/access issues are quite valid. When I was in the Navy, a friend and I rented a garage and noise of parking late at night was a huge issue.

So then what was the point of your post? This thread was about deaths to Military personnel. Discussion of disease and accidents was/is off topic. Your political commments added in your subsequent posts go a long way toward explaining your agenda. PS, since I started this thread and have maintained it, it is MY thread. Start your own Dr Schweitzer!

Will: I think that Monica would disagree....didn't she say he had a little appendage? Yes, he is gone, but Republicans everywhere still grouse about him. He's sitting home laughing that even though he's been out of power for 4 years now, he's still got some peoples shorts all bunched up. Oh, and I cannot let it pass without pointing out that while true that Bill didn't grasp the concept of "IS", GWB's pal Carl "The Thug" Rove couldn't answer questions about if he knew someone without the word "KNOW" being defined for him. All to make the point that there are scumbags all over the place. You just have to make an effort to look for them.

Vicky: Have you read, or otherwise learned of all the problems with the electronic voting systems that are being used? These issues make the "chad" thing look like a minor thing. The sad part is that the people in governemnt know about the problems and have chosen to use these systems anyway. This election could easily be stolen by one or the other of the parties. (these problems are not just in FL, but in several other states/localities as well.)

The pupose of this thread is and was to honor these men and women. I encouraged people to vote (I didn't/don't care who you vote for) with the memory of their loss in mind God knows why Tom took exception to to this thread. Then wanting to find a way to equate their sacrifice with accident victims, and people who are aflicted by disease. The big difference is that their deaths could have been avoided by one single decision having been made differently. A decision that many experts (even the CIA) say was flawed. No one gives a $^!# who someone from another country would vote for. The citizens of THIS country can control their own destiny. It's just a lot easier to do when you are well informed, and not blinded by smokescreens put up by people with another agenda. Tom: Notice that neither candidates name was ever used in this thread by me. (and neither got a vote from me). It was you that polluted this thread with politics.

Well Tom, These people are dying because of someone else's idea which was not necessarily their own. Because of something that was crammed down the publics throat with justification made up of false statements, deceptions, and lies. Other deaths are no less important, but these people are not victims of an accidental situation, or a disease that was contracted randomly. These deaths were FAR more preventable, if only our government hadn't practiced poor planning, made poor choices, executed by poor leaders. I wonder how acceptable the losses would be if one of them was your daughter, or son, or neighbor. PS, Our economy is being bled dry so that these fine men and women can have the privilege of dying in a far off land that does not want them there.

BTW, I WILL find a list of "allied" personnel who have been lost.

Yes, I do know that. I also know that John isn't going to vote for George either! (and I didn't vote for either one)

Hi Rick: Naw, the avatar has more hair than I do. Oh, one more thing before this thread becomes outdated..... Checkout THIS WEBSITE

Been there. Leave her at home, a car cover is no protection at all from the things that can damage your car the most. Like AHOLES and other FOOLS. try to get home every month or so and enjoy a cruise (and visit your family). JMO

I've updated the list again. The toll is now well over 1000 men and women of the US Armed Forces who have been lost. I wasn't able to find a list of casualties from other countries since the last update, but there have been lives lost from many of the countries aiding our troops. Remember them all as you head out to vote today. (I'm not telling you how to vote, your heart will do that. All you have to do is listen.....and ACT!)
