You feel then what he went rough was no big deal and his contribution to his country does not mean Jack.
Where do you get that from? You're fabricating reality and making assumptions about how I feel about my uncles contribution. If anyone downplays his contribution and the trials he went through as a POW it's himself.
War has been with us as long as we have had history. I don't condone war but it is a reality that you must learn to face,
That has nothing to do with me appreciating the country I live in. You condone war, in fact you glorify it.
Yes, and that is one of the reasons today's youth is going down the shitter due to lack of respect for anything in general.
I've heard you use this exact statement hundreds of times. It didn't have any bearing on your argument then and it still doesn't now. Respect is a subjective decision to acknowledge something. Mindlessly "respecting" something because it's the status quo destroys the entire ideal.
You should really brush up on your WW2 knowledge. If you don't like soldiers do you think we should abolish our army because there will be no more wars.
Yes I was stretching it when I mentioned WW2 as not affecting america directly. I have since recognized that error in previous posts (that you probably didn't read). I never said I don't like soldiers. You are once again pulling other peoples opinions from your ass.
Better brush up on your Vietnam history also. I do believe Vietnam was a clusterfvck but you can blame Johnson/Nixon for that and not the military.
Right, and a clusterfuck that we could have done very well being no part of. Vietnam had no direct bearing on my rights and freedoms as an american. Communism was the reason, and a poor one at that.
You generalization is really boring me...
Pot .. kettle. So then you reconize the valid points in my generalization. Thanks.
No, you'll be kissing my ass when you expect a social security check.
Yes, a true patriot. I don't need to strap on some combat boots, pick up an m16 and fly 10K miles away and shoot some other people to be a patriot. That is the common fallacy you subscribe to.
If you want to reconize a true defender of your freedoms, why don't you post some cute little emails about the police? They face more trials and tribulations than most soldiers in their career. They also need some semblance of education to do their job.
Do you think that because you were a meathead that went over to iraq in the first gulf war that you deserve some respect? Well you're getting all the respect you can shake a stick at from the arab world. Why don't you send that email off to some kuwaitis? So they can bow down and kiss your boots.
I can make the assumption that you were a mental midget from the get go because you joined the forces. Were you ever properly schooled? Did you have any prospects in life but joining the service? Did you even have the ways and means to get educated? No wait, that doesn't matter because you were going to fight for american rights and freedoms by popping some caps in some iraqi ass! :roll:
