Iraq

I truly hope that our racing bro will be safe and come home safe. I do not wish any mal feelings to anyone that was called by our country to do his or her part. I too have family and students that are serving. My big wish is for all of our brothers and sisters in arms to come home safely.

You should try to use your brain before you open your mouth!

Secondly, it's people like you and attitudes like yours that made it possible for G.W.to do what he has been doing with your country the last few years.
"Don't think, just do what you've been told!"
If you took the time and read my post completely then you would've understood that I didn't bash the soldier here (whom I personally know) but your wonderfull Mr. President.

So before you start pointing fingers, take a look at what your country has done to create this war in the first place. Bush has done a bad job of managing the war and he made the huge mistake of assuming that all people would choose to live in a democratic society if they're given the choice and that's clearly not the case in the middle east. Regardless, Americans will still be kicking ass and taking names in the middle east long after Bush leaves office while western Europe will continue to bury its head in the sand and let islamofascism take over its countries from within.

Holy cow this is some scary stuff ! I am not one for curbing anyone's "freedoms" or anything but surely it should occur to the Moderators that RCTech caters for people from everywhere ..not just the US. To try and have a discussion like this on a site with such a diversity of users is to create a barn fight. Please ...please can we put personal feelings and opinions aside, wish people the best of luck and move on to forums that discuss RC related matters?!?!? Unless RC cars are being blown up , or held for ransom ..I reckon we keep this type of discussion off the site ...

thats all that was said, and thats all that needed to be said. i agree this has turned rather sour very quickly. some things just dont need to be on this forum, and im sorry to say this is one of them. no disregard to anyones families or friends, but in war, everyone suffers on both sides. so no need to make others suffer on this wonderfull forum.

Do you think we here in Europe like what is happening?....
No, I really like to read opinions from people all over the world...

Stay safe Chay,
From a proud veteran.
Just remember everyone, these are just people's opinions and nothing more. I am a proud veteran and it doesn't bother me in the least to read people's opinions on here and i'm sure most troops serving right now would feel the same way. They are serving their country because they love the USA, not for some guy in germany that wants to talk trash about our president. I mean seriously, do we even need to bring up german history? (oh, and I am 90% german!)
So, put the politics aside, Everyone, and keep all those serving in your hearts and prayers.

This is all that needed to be said in the post above. Whether you aggree with the war or not, just pray they all come home safe.
Hopefully this forum will continue to be about RC related issuses, and not some ones personal "soap box"

First, you are in no position to give me a chance to do anything.
Secondly, it's people like you and attitudes like yours that made it possible for G.W.to do what he has been doing with your country the last few years.

I do have a FYI on RC's in the war zone. There are Two major RC companies whose cars/trucks are in the combat zone.
Secondly, I would like our bros from outside of the US to understand that we also have the same feelings for what is happening in the middle east and South West Asia.
For the record the electoral congress elects a president. The population gets the popular vote, which doesn't count. Each state has equal members to that congress no matter how many people populate it!
The US is a unique country that is lucky to have the constitution and the Bill of Rights that insures what we can do and say in a peaceful manor. We are a country that is also unique to have an all volunteer military. Those guys that are over there want to serve, and were sent by orders to go over there to do their job. I personally don't believe that there are any of us that want to go over to another country and take over voluntarily.
We do have the luxury to debate and speak our minds here (US) 1st amendment without worrying about retribution. My wish and others in this forum is that we may keep this discussion about the safe keeping of our mutual RC bro and others; with their speedy and safe return.

That's not really unique.....
But just keep on believing there is no other country in the world but the US.....
