Re: If you still think we can win in Iraq..

So, Phyllis, you think the government is entitled to the same "do whatever
you can get away with" standard that the private sector seems to operate
under???

You're right, it isn't an informed decision if someone either lies or
withholds information that would be pertinent to the decision-making
process. But if I'm not mistaken, you believe that very young people have
the right to make choices that will affect their lives forever and the
military is not the only venue where lies are told and information
withheld. If a 12-year old or 15-year-old can make a choice, why not an
18-year-old?

I know you don't believe services and retailers always tell the truth
about
their products. And Rae, children know the difference between the truth
and a lie long before they're 6 years old, that's why they're allowed to
testify in court cases.

Do I wish everyone would tell the truth? Of course. Is it likely to
happen? Not hardly. Have you never heard of the old saying, "Buyer
beware"? An 18-year-old can make an informed decision to vote, to drink,
to make contracts. It is our job to make them as ready as we can to make
the right choices.

I'm prochoice - but it is not a choice when someone lies to you about
what you're chosing.
