    For some, these two poll results seem to contradict one another.

    I suspect, however, that in the minds of the "boots" on the ground it is precisely the combination that makes the most sense. Check with a few of the ones who have served on such missions, but I believe their rationale would be as follows:

    Let's stop dicking around, really ramp up the effort so that we can kill the fuckers, then we get to go home.

    Soldiers wanting to go home has a long history -- any culture/time/war.

    Soly would you rather take pictures of rotting corpses in New Orleans or live hot chick in New York? Well, although taking pictures of rotting corpses in New Orleans would be more of a service for your fellow man by assisting investigations and identification purposes, its preferable to take pictures of hot chicks. When I was in Korea for a year, I would have much rather have been playing hide the winky with the wife but i was providing a service to my Nation and an allie which in most circles is more important.
    Who would rather eat steak or eat rusty nails?
    RIP Tosa

    Calling Devastatin Dave's house to get the wife's email so that I can send a screen shot of this message. Of Course I will have altered it to get Dave in even more trouble.

    Except they aren't actually there to kill anybody, and if they act like they are they'll be there even longer. They're there to create the conditions for democracy to develope.
