This is my trainer's site. He did something similar last year and got a pretty good response and was able to send a bunch of stuff over the people at Camp Julien so he's doing it again this year.

Just posting this here in case anybody would like to contribute, if the mods think this is inappropriate please move the thread to the proper forum. :)

They may already have done this, but if they set it up as a non-profit charity they could give tax deductible receipts.

On the same topic, what other ways are there that people know of showing support for our guys? I have seen the yellow ribbon car decals out there.

Maybe I should just go to a north end pub and send a couple of jugs of beer to the first table of soldiers I see?

One of the guys in my car club got back last week and the other guy should be back either this week or next week... so check the parking lot for a bunch of modded mustangs and then send the beer to the table with the highest percentage of mullets. :thumbup:

Good point...I would not be cut out for that job. I have enough trouble switching from work mode(get to the point, get it done yesterday) to home mode(caring, patient, understanding, nurturing) with a corporate job. It would be a huge stretch for me to translate that to a life and death occupation like soldiering in a combat situation, and then coming home and trying to act "normal".

uhhh, correct me if I'm wrong but I think S2K was referring to guys who didn't leave the base during their tour. :dunno:

You are probably right, I may have mistakenly lept to the conclusion that he was talking about guys that were still a little psyched out by being on edge for so long, when "behind the wire" more likely means the rear echelon types who never left the compound.

Didn't the non-combat types take some hits too, from roadside bombs, RPGs, etc.? I can see where combat types might resent them, but as a civilian in Edmonton, just being in Kandahar seems risky to me.

I might get flogged for this, but i dont understand why we condone violence, people make these decisions to join the armed forces, they know what lies at the end of that road. I would love to go get my rage out overseas and kill innocent people, for wealth, damn it would be fun as hell, bombing someone back into the stoneage. But really I cant bring myself to do it, cause the same system that tricked those people into joining is the same system that keeps us safe and warm at night. My real question is who is to blame..... you me we, all are. So i guess what i'm sayin is, our troops are nothing but a number just like all of us, just like the casualties overseas, so save yer fucking money and get your kids an education so we can eventually wake up and stop killing eachother, to enjoy a peaceful and meaningful existance. Because this generation is already dead.

Why don't you save your speech for some other thread? You are just trolling in a thread that has nothing to do with the BS you just spewed. If you think our forces are over there to kill innocents then I will assume you believe Taliban terrorists are innocents therefore you are a supporter of them. If you don't like the fact that most people support out troops and would like to contribute, you can always move to a country that doesn't get involed in such things.

And a prime example of someone who has no idea of whats going on in the world. Ignorance is bliss right?

Realize that the only reason you are living in a FREE country right now is because people fought and died for you many years ago.

Without War, there is no Peace.


Some people are so fucking thick sometimes it makes me sick.

Freedom is not free, nor will it ever be. War is about money, nothing more..... when will you people realize. Terrorist shit is mostly propaganda, notice how i said mostly, the biggest terrorists are running your countries and robbing you of your civil rights. Making us believe that the only way we can co-exist, is to have borders and boundries seperating the rich from the poor, It so easy for us here to sit and watch our 65' wide screen and judge all the "terrorists" . It seems in the western hemisphere we have adopted the idea " KIll the Poor" .... because we view people with a lack of money, as not people at all. If you still think the only way we can achieve peace is through war, i feel sorry for you, because the world is a reflection of what is inside you. And you will cease to make it to the end of your path. So enjoy your war, and enjoy your hell, but do not forget that one day it will come for you.

My civil rights are doing just fine thank you. Nor do I have a 65' wide screen in my house.

War isn't always about money. How can you say that about WW2? Or Vietnam? Explain how America profited at all from 'Nam. It was bound by treaty to fight.

Keep in mind S2KPWR had the balls to pick up a rifle and go over there and fight. Big Kudos to him from me. I'd like to buy him a beer some time.

"Kill the poor"... pull your head out of your ass, seriously. The Taliban was no good thing. It's tragic it took us so long to realize this.

sleeper_
spheres of influence, sovereignty over nations?

wow... you can't be serious you don't understand these things

lilweiner
HAHA, ohhh yes I need to pull my head out of my ass, Vietnam was about america inadvertantly fighting russia on Vietnamese soil, just like how they fought the Russians on afghan soil many years prior to this day. Yes your right, little johhny with a pea shooter in iran is a huge threat to your national security, fuck make sure you fuck him up hardcore, frag his ass!!! or hopefully when you engage him you can watch the back of his head blow into little bits, fucking wicked! Pussies use guns when they feel they have been trapped into a corner, its doesnt surprise me that people are always looking for the easy way out. Who are these taliban warlords???? you speak of? have we cought them yet? saddam? what happen with him, bin ladden??? hello? foreign investors?? Yes a huge Kudos to S2kPWR for going over there, he has clearly sealed his fate, I myself would not have the balls to stare another human in the eye and tell them that them deserve to die bescause they accidentally were born in the wong place at the wrong time. You want to know who deserves to die, well in my eyes people who kill other people deserve to die. i dunno that seems fair to me. Doesnt matter if they're black, white, brown ,red ,yellow. Personally I would like to start a donation fund for afghan rebles so we could get them some weapons training, make the war a little more entertaining. Because really thats all yer doing, SO HURRY ALL, RUN TO CANADA PLACE!!!, JOIN THE MILITARY!!!!, cause while you are over killing people i'm going to be layin pipe in yer old ladies, haha so yes fight for me while i fuck you while your overseas. Enter-fucking-tain me. Cause really thats all your fucking good for. The more of you that die, means more cash and more bitches left for me. Dont let me hold you back, fucking hurry up and kill yerselves. damn lets get a move. THANKS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT AND KEEPING ME WARM AND SAFE CANADIAN MILITARY!!!!!! FUCKIN BABY KILLERS

Oh yea and S2KPWR yea, its great that you thought you just helped out and , maybe saved the world, but truth be told your just a fucked up individual that lacks humanity, which is not an uncommon trait in this day and age. Every real man, that i have ever spoken to about war, has never had anything good to say about it. Besides s2kpwr, little pussie never even seen combat. Trust me i know. I was fucking THERE you retards.

Arguing this is like arguing if the sky is blue..

Whats my name? whats my rank? you know me? post it up!

You were there hey? who the fuck are you?

Baby killer? lol so original.. obviously you have no clue of what we shoot at. 98% of the time we get shot at first, the other 2% we catch the fuckers hiding with an AK or an RPG waiting for us to walk or drive by.

Your fucked in the head dude.. thats all I have to say, and thats all of the replying im going to do to your posts.

If you want to tell me more, pm me your address and we can chat in person.
