Sebastian, Just listened to your interview on KUOW. Through this experience, did you find yourself thinking about how many other causes would be better served with the money being wasted every day on…Continue

Bill Day replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"Gregg, Katarina, thank you for your generosity of spirit and many kind words. As Gregg said, that is the American Way. I think that one of the great things about "War" is that whatever one's view of the conflict, one cannot help but…"
Gregg replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"Hi Katrina, nice to hear from you. glad to hear you are a Southern Belle with a sense of honor as all Southern Gentleman and Ladies had/have. I have always had a habit of putting my foot in my mouth but i have acquired a taste for shoe leather it…"
mouse replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"I gotta agree on the PC thing, Gregg. It's out of control, in my opinion. It's yet one more example of morally policing the entire country/world because a handful of jackasses can't seem to muster a thimble of respect for their fellow…"
Gregg replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"hey eric one last question for you. you say "so-called "soldiers" who have no hope in life and are thus coerced into aggression and shooting guns because they don't know any other way to function and cope in society". Does…"
Gregg replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"hi Bill, Gregg here and i wish i had the grasp of the english language that you do. No one is unpopular by stating their opinion of the war and that is the american way. and that is what soldiers fight for among other things. and you may be right…"
mouse replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"I agree, Bill, and I feel badly that there's somehow an aura of needing to verbally genuflect on this forum when offering an alternate opinion. I know you've been wanting to discuss this for some time now.
It's actually startlingly…"
Bill Day replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"I hold no brief for Eric, since I think his assessment of Sebastian, the book, the film, and soldiers is incorrect, and his language intemperate and insulting. At the risk of making myself equally unpopular, however, I think he does raise one point…"
Gregg replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization";hi guys and gals, this is Gregg again and i would like to say that all of you have figured out Erica and what he stands for, nothing but himself and his delusional ideas. I went to the movie lst night in Silver Springs and I will be commenting on…"
Patricia replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"Hello Eric,
you stated "being carried out by so-called "soldiers" who have no hope in life and are thus coerced into aggression and shooting guns because they don't know any other way to function and cope in society"
Well,…"
Gregg replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"Hi Eric, how are you today? I can see from your above comments you should go see the Dr in Freetown, Sierra Leone. He is a good shrink or at least as good as you need. I resent all that you said above and it shows you have missed the whole point of…"
John Schaaf replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"Wow, well put.
The part about '...their fear of deather will never be less..." I'm a little iffy about, though. I was a soldier in Bosnia when we stuck our hand into that mess, and I can definitely say that I ignored my fear of death…"
Heath Roberts replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"Very nice. A history man and a paramedic. You can come ride shotgun in my box (or bus as yankees call it) any day of the week

"From my perspective the only "glamorizing" done is the simply Sebastian's accurate reflection of the dazzling glory of what it is to be a young, healthy, beautiful American male facing and performing the job they have signed up to do.…"
marion tucker replied to Eric's discussion So tired of this glamorization"You say to the Keyboard 'warrior' "Enjoy and embrace your freedom of speech, but don't forget who makes it possible for you."
I can't post my thoughts on this troll, who obviously thinks himself so high above us…"
