(Start of soapbox) I really dont think joeydiggz was really wanting to get into this deep of a conversation about the war, and if I was in the same boat as him the last thing I would want to talk about is the war/people for or against the war/the reasons why we are at war. Roo is an escape for not just hippies, tokers, etc,; it is a festival where we will party next to our brothers and sisters of this great world and have people seving our country an escape for one weekend when they now they have to go back into much hotter/dangerous/ignorant situations than we will have to after roo is over. Lets just revert this thread back to how joey wanted it and lets just other soldiers post on here saying that they will be going and let them tell there story. There are a lot of left sided people on here and they know that, have accepted it, and have already moved on to more important things in there lives. People can be really against the reasons we are at war, but dont take it out on soldiers who are risking there lives everyday and the soldiers that we are friends with from elememtary/middle/high school and even college. We have to look at the leaders that we put into office and if you dont like the outcome so far, well get off your a$$ and vote for how you want. If every person who was able to vote in this nation voted there is no reason why another party could take over office but it is all the people who dont vote that do say a lot of crap to the people that are risking there lives. Keep doing what you have to do for our freedom, because if we did not have a strong military force and show off everyonce in awhile who is really going to protect us from the likes of a China, a Russia, etc you get the point. (End of Soapbox)
Hey everyone, only 46 more days till Roo, and if I meet anyone who is serving the country I will gladly shake your hand and say thank you. You do not know how many Veterans love to hear those words. BOOOOOOONNNNNNAAAAAAAARRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
"That's the big thing about education. People can be book smart, but not really intelligent about anything else. A lot of times they just taking in all this information and regurgitate it. It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."
I'm against the war, I'm against the administration, I TOTALLY SUPPORT SOLDIERS!!!
I'll give joeydiggz a big hug if I see him. I'll give Megan and Boz (republicans) a big hug too!
For 4 days in June I promise my political leanings will be left at some gas station in Georgia, I will forget about Democrats and Republicans and be an active member in the Bonnaroo party.

Exactly! Bonnaroo brings us together every year. Let's put everything else aside and let it do just that. It's getting really close, so let's just start focusing on the one thing we all agree on....BONNAROO!

Hey Guys, we could argue about this war from now 'till June 14th, and I promise you that nobody will change thier opinion. As a matter of fact, our elected officials have proven that we could debate for the next 8 years and not reach an agreement. I started this thread because I already knew how MOST of you felt about the war, and I was just curious how you felt about partying it up with the men and women who support the war. Three things that will always be true are:
1. Soldiers will always fight wars. 2. Hippies will always be against those wars 3. In June there are 4 days when #1 and #2 aren't imporatant, and Soldiers and Hippies will get together and party thier a**es off!
-SEE YOU THERE-
again well said ... oh and ps, on one of this replies i did mention climate change, it may be a bigger threat then anything else ... cr*****
This will be my third 'Roo, I am a Vet of the War and a member of the USMC. I don't agree with the war, but obviously have an infinite amount of love for any man or women who has signed that infamous 'dotted line'
Hears to cracking a cold one with each and every one of you *CHEERS*
I'm totally against the war too...but definately for the soldiers!!! That's why I designed this messenger bag to use this summer at all the music fests we go to. BTW....my "heroine" is my daughter!!

dmb... I would smite you just to prove you are right about christians, but, instead I will forgive you. you know not what you say
Thats Right, Its like saying all Muslims are terrorists, or that all people who go to bonnaroo use drugs, ya know. Every stereotype of people have their asswipes , and we all say stupid shit so karma for forgiveness.

EXACTLY!! Can't wait to see you there!! I think it is awesome that you do what you do and have such a great outlook and open mind (and that you are a Nightwatchman fan, that TOTALLY rocks in my book!) I work with soldiers on a daily basis, and usually talk with someone in Iraq at least once or twice a week, none of us can ever thank you guys who have done the tour enough, no matter what our personal ideologies may be!

I must be behind on my current events. What all has Cindy Sheehan done that's so radical? I know who she is, and about Camp Casey. Who can blame her, and who has more right than her to say what she says? (Well, we ALL have the right, but, you know what I mean.)
So, what have I missed that she's done that's so out-there?
Normally, I wouldn't go off-tangent or political much, but this is such a quagmire of a thread, it seems like someone wouldn't mind answering. :?
Cindy Sheenan has absoulutly every right to voice her opinion. My biggest problem with her is that she hides her opinion behind the face of her son who was killed in combat. As a soldier who has been to combat, I (and the other soldiers I had the privlidge of serving with) realize the most obvious drawback of war. DEATH! I have much respect for the people who are anti-war because they are anti-violence, or anti-bush, or anti-ANYTHING. However, it is a smack in the face, to all of my friends who have lost thier lives , when a women who knows almost nothing about our mission gets up and bad mouths our mission! If you have an opinion, then God bless you, But let the Soldiers have thiers.
I am currently in Iraq and will be getting home the beginning of June and me and my girlfriend will be there. I cant wait to just free my mind and step forward and meet alot of new people. GO IA Navy !!!
You gots to be shi**ing me... I thought I was the only one coming in from Iraq for this shindig!!! I'll be using 5 days of my precious R&R to Roo it up with my best friend, and then 5 days later...back to Baghdad. And yes...FLY NAVY!!! You should be able to pick me out in the crowd. Look for the "NARMY" shirt straight from FT Jackson.
Wow...Finally got caught up on the whole thread and I'll take my turn to opine.
1: Forget who said it, but someone nailed it. We ALL elect Congress; Congress makes policy; DoD creates strategy; soliders, SAILORS, airmen and marines implement said strategy. Don't hate the playa, baby; hate the game. 2: Regarding the Bill of Rights...they are Freedoms "of", not Freedoms "from". 3: It really is all about the music and the love. I was astounded and truly impressed last year at my first Roo of the tolerance and acceptance of all. Hell, I never heard a cross word the whole weekend. The rest of the world could take some serious lessons. 4: Hug a soldier; grope a sailor.
See you in a few and save a beer for me (I haven't had one since November!!)
