And yet Bush has increased the budget dramatically and people still won't sign up.

Stick your fingers in your ears and go "LALALALALALA everything is Clinton's fault" all you want but all branches of the military will tell you they can't meet their recruiting targets to fight Bush's wars. I came close to going into the AF in 2002 but now? Forget it cause you know I don't want to fight for Bush. Those of you who are foaming at the mouth should jump at the chance though, you could go over and collect some ears & noses off "terrorists". And AFAIK 30 is not too old especially if you have a college degree, they are in need of officers.

As for outrage... Terrorists kill you guys walking around in Manchester, Boston, New York? I'll be outraged. Terrorists kill occupying US soldiers in their own country? Sorry, how the heck am I supposed to be outraged or even surprised when it has been going on for 3 years now? Guerillas/Freedom Fighters/Terrorists/Rebels will ALWAYS attack and kill occupying foreign soldiers in their territory. That's what they do. Hell I have a hard time even calling anyone attacking our guys IN Iraq a terorrist. They're insurgents, guerillas, rebels, etc.. but not terrorists.

Outrage over our soldiers executing non-combatants, women and children, etc.. is totally different. The line may be blurred between innocent and terrorist over there but our guys are supposed to be better then everyone else over there, setting an example. The military itself is prosecuting soldiers who go on killing sprees so why don't you go complain to the military instead of the general public. Somehow the military got this crazy idea that it's soldiers shouldn't execute innocents. What the hell are they thinking with this "Honor" crap.
