I agree.

I'm just tired of this idea that I, an intelligent, talented and gifted adult who volunteered WELL after the invasion of Iraq (which describes the overwhelming majority of American soldiers) need the protection of some idiot with a Ford Expedition, a record contract and a "NO WAR FOR OIL" sign. The fact is, I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting into and I made my choice... don't use me as a crutch for your hobbled arguments.
