The fallacy in "freedom is worth being killed in foreign lands"

[Anarchist420]

First of all, we're not free. We're nowhere close to it. Corporatism and socialism run amok in the U.S.; capitalism is nowhere to be found.

2nd, if you have to be drafted to a foreign nation, when you could just fight on your homeland, then are you really even considered free?

3rd, how can anyone consider us free with the Patriot Act and no guarantee to a trial?

I'll admit there hasn't been a draft to the Middle East yet, but suppose there was one to a foreign land? Would we be considered free then?

What's left that's worth fighting for? We're everyone's slave but our own, after all.

ERROR: You assume capitalism makes you free, all it does is change your masters.

ERROR: An unqualified "free" is self-contradictory, for to be free from everything one must be free from freedom.

I yield to the superior knowledge of the OP, for if anyone on this forum knows fallacious reasoning, it must be Anarchist420.

Go tell that to the American men who fell releasing Europe from Nazi tyranny, you juvenile schmuck. Check out stormfront.org for a "parallel universe" version of AnandTech.

True freedom is anarchy, and anarchy is chaos. Chaos is survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest ultimately leads to tyrannical rule.

freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
