Graves, you're willing to use that statistic, but when hundreds of Nobel prize winners, political theorists, scientists, MENSA directors, some of the most intelligent people on this planet, sign a petition stating that they oppose the war and they are opposed to the reelection of President Bush, your side discounts it. A little hypocritical, aren't we? Because if a troop statement says something, then so should the impressions of all the bright people on this planet. Certainly the troops are a selective sample... what kind of person joins the military? Probably someone who would agree with bush's policy. They'd also be less than likely to come out and say 'Well, we're here, andmy buddies have sacrificed to achieve what we have... but it was really a waste of time.' I just can't see that happening too often.
As for what you said earlier, I can argue with him not on the point that he feels degraded, but on the point that he shouldn't feel that way, because he's misinterpreted the anti-war position in the most basic way imaginable, as I said above. We're not against the troops, we're for the troops.

In a haze
A stormy haze
I’ll be around
I’ll be loving you
Always
Always
Here I am
And I’ll take my time
Here I am
And I’ll wait in line
Always
Always...
