My world asked in Politics & GovernmentMilitary · 2 decades ago

Why are you here?

If you don't have a question concerning military life, why are you here?

If all you want to do is rant and rave about the administration, why are you here?

If all you want to do is bash our brave service members for giving their time, freedom, and maybe their life, why are you here?

AND YES!!! This is a question, in fact, it's several questions. I would really like to know why you are wasting our time, as well as yours.

Update:

OK. Maybe I didn't clarify myself. My questions were directed to individuals here in the "Military" section that seem to take pleasure in putting the military down.

I am here for the same reason that most of you are. I am interested in the world and want to see peoples answers to questions. BUT, if someone asks a serious question, that deserves a serious answer. NOT a rant or opinion. If you don't know the answer, move on and answer one you do know the answer for.

    very honestly and very frankly.i want to see how ignorant ,ill informed,with very shallow knowlege in history,geography,poletics,current affairs,laws including international laws,are a great percentage of the answerers in this site.

    i was terrified by the level of those people,the undemocratic way they impose their opinions on others,the lack of rational thinking and logics.i try some times to give my opinion,so that i may help correcting incorrect informations.i feel very bad,some times furious when somebody insults a religion,or a race of humans,or when he/she makes the white black.

    i guss that lots of people here just want to get marks irreletive of the truth.i wish the answers are more matuer.

    well.i am not wasting anybodys time,i am doing what you are doing,regarding my time,i have alot of it since i am a retiered old man who is still curious about how people are thinkig.i feel its a kind of education.

    i agree totally with you that questions here should be puerly military.insulting others is a reflection of an aggressive personality.

    Why are you here? You think all you do is right...why are you there? You think to use a yong man and woman life for profit on oil is correct...why are you there? To say that the US Military in the Middle East and all over the world is to defend freedom but taking the rights of other people from other nation because of Greedy Leaders....why are you there? We do not bash the soldiers, we are scared for them, because they are just used by the greedy politicians...why are you still there? We have to rant and rave against an administration that full of bullshit and liars that causes lives to be destroyed...why are you still there?

    AND YES!!! This is an answer, in fact, it is several answers. I really like to know why are you wasting my time and yours, by trying to defend people that destroy lives. But then again...why?

    Its a simple answer to a simple question. I am here for my daily tickle. Reading some of these "gung ho" responses like "Who thinks we should nuke Iran" is just like watching your favourite sitcom. It reflects the ignorance and downright stupidity some of you military types have floating about in your minds. Some of you still think that you won in Vietnam and that you're winning in Iraq. The sad reality is that the sitcom is make-belief but your comments and questions are actually a true reflection of your dellusional state of mind. So I am here to laugh at you!

    I agree with your sentiment.

    This is supposed to be a source of answers to questions, and not a bulletin board for political statements.

    However I have to confess that it is amusing to see how many people think that the U.S gets its oil from the middle east. As soon as you see a reference to "war for oil" you know that they havent got a clue.

    I'll leave names out of it, but I know what you mean. It's rather disheartening for me to see all these haters when my husband devotes his life to his country, and I devote mine to him, just so these people can spout off and say how much they hate the government.

    It's hard to find serious questions worth answering in any category.
