$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'T')he soldier on the ground gives a shit about that code because he/she has to live with the consquence of ignoring it. It's easy for the generals and politicians to order barbarity but the fighting mans pays. All benefit in times of war from setting this agreement. If one soldier breakes the code he/she should be punished by his/her peers for their own sake and safety. Consequently Bush should be impeached.

Sounds like a cop-out to me, not just personally but in this debate.

What if that $100,000 operation could add 10 good years to your life, and the alternative to not having it was your hospice/morphine route? Would you rather that money went into your operation or into the trigger of a bunker-buster nuke?

I know which option you'd choose if push come to shove.

You're flat wrong about procedures (plus hospitalization) that could add many years (five, ten, whatever) to your life not costing $100,000, rwwff. I was a medical editor (for a pharmacy journal) for 15 years and know whereof I speak.

Examples that come to mind are quadruple-bypass surgery and malignant-brain-tumor removal. Of course, it all depends on the parameters of the individual case. And naturally there are no promises or guarantees in life. You could have successful resolution of the brain-tumor problem and get run over the next year.

OK, so you'd opt for the hospice instead of more life. Good hospice care doesn't come cheap either!

So if you'd rather the money not be spent on a nuclear trigger either, why do you advocate doubling the DoD's budget? Inconsistent.

Your strategy makes sense to me only if the condition is incurable or very difficult to cure.

I guess I don't really understand where you are coming from in some of your positions. It's sort of a mish-mash. I guess I'll sort you out eventually.
