I admit that, although those statements are not mutually exclusive, they don't really track well together.

But have I as an individual been forced to sacrifice something for the war? Nope not a thing. If I didn't read the news or watch TV or talk to anyone I'd never know the war was going on.
It concerns me as an American to see our fortunes being wasted away along with our finest citizens.
Dale I used to support the war. I used to tell those that opposed it "we've got to keep fighting, we can't give in", I used many of the same arguments you probably used and others have too. But it was easy for me to say that because I had lost nothing in the war. Me personally as an individual had lost nothing and it was easy for me to say "keep fighting" when it wasn't me that was doing the fighting.
As a country we have lost 4,000 Americans. As a country we have spent $1 trillion on the war. As citizens of this country it is our right to be concerned and voice concern when we feel our efforts are being used improperly.
If the best you can do to counter my argument is to point out frivolous flaws in the way it is being presented rather than the substance of what I am saying ,thats pretty sad and shows you have neither the will or the ammo to counter it.(sorry for the run-on).
