Because my answer is truth, and you and your ilk will never understand. You folks can not see the forest for the trees.

You and your ilk have been sloping at the trough of this Nation's riches all your lives, and all your lives decrying what a horrible Nation it is. What have the men and women of the Military secured for you and for all Americans?

You have a place to live. You probably have an automobile. You have belongings.....furniture, appliances and such. You surely have a computer. You enjoy partaking of this Nations energy resources, this Nations Industrial resources, this Nations Agricultural Resources, Public Education System, Health Care System. You have the right to participate in this Nations System of Government by engaging in the Election Process in place. Regardless of the state it is currently in, you STILL have the right to participate in it. You have the right to speak for this Nation, or speak against this Nation as you wish. You enjoy the Constitutional rights all other Citizens enjoy as you choose to enjoy them. You benefit from them as well, as in Miranda Rights and the 5th Amendment, 4th and 7th Amendments. You have the right/opportunity to seek gainful employment in whatever field you choose to do so in. You have a right not to. You have so many rights, and enjoy so very many benefits on a daily basis that you and your ilk take for granted, or, even worse, believe you are OWED them by this Nation, and you never pause to give thanks to the men and women who serve to assure that these rights remain, and these benefits remain.

Soldiers do not get to choose which war/conflict they fight in. Their duty, and their desire is to serve as they are directed to for the good of all Americans. You and your ilk do not understand and never will understand that while you may believe the latest wars/conflicts do not effect you and your freedom/rights, they do.

Not only that, but the VERY REASON there has NOT been a drastic assault upon this Nation, and upon it's peoples IS STRICTLY BECAUSE of the men and women in uniform who STAND READY. Other Nations, other peoples know well what they will face should they take on our Nation. They will face the best trained, best equipped, most motivated fighting force the world has ever known. The American Soldier.

Rather than speak so disrespectfully of and to Veterans and current Military personnel, you should be thanking them for all you have and all you have enjoyed in your lifetime. For even if you are too blinded by your hatred for our Nation to see the truth, the TRUTH IS all our Nation is, all our peoples have HAS BEEN SECURED by the blood of the American Soldier. And they can rest assured each day and night that the American Soldier stands ready to defend them each and every day.

The American Soldier is the one who STANDS IN THE GAP for this Nation and it's peoples. Give them the respect they are due.............but, I do not expect you or your ilk to, and that's ok too. We serve you just as we serve all of our peoples and our Nation.
Yeah, you're right. Because none of these things you mention exist in other countries. I could never own property or freely speak in Holland (a country that doesn't have to bomb kids to be free). I could never enjoy healthcare in Scotland (yet another country that doesn't have to bomb kids to be free). I could never own an AR-15 and carry it openly while riding a bike in Switzerland.

Oh wait...that's false...AND the U.S. ranks 20th on the Human Freedom Index. Guess we aren't killing enough people eh?

Yeah our soldiers are sure paying the price. Unfortunately they are getting overcharged for things that other countries are magically getting without incinerating babies.

I don't belittle you, I don't think soldiers are bad people. but you gotta understand that your answers to my points (as well as everyone else's) is ALWAYS "oh you just don't understand. Soldiers die for your freedom." You just regurgitate the same propaganda over and over without being able to halfway explain HOW soldiers die for your freedom...because they dont. Not since WWII.
Hopefully, the members of the US armed forces, through their actions today will be able to prevent WWIII. This is a great nation that has a great responsibility.

you can keep your blind and ignorant patriotism all you want. But don't dare say my friends are dyin for our freedoms when they are losing their lives in some third world cesspool that isn't even a threat to us. But we still send troops because of political motivations and dealings.
This is a free country, I can say what I like. If you believe in conspiracy,I'll leave you to it. I have family in the military,yes friends but family. I dont take their sacrifices lightly. Nor those that have been killed in the line of duty. Govt isnt always right. Im not saying it is. But the sacrifice these people have made is to be honored and they are true heroes. I wont stand for anyone saying they are not.

I agree.

I have a high school friend who just retired from the Air Force after 31 years.
He said we could have ended this with little or no lose of American life years ago if the politicans would have just let the military do their job.

And there is the problem. Should have wiped them off the map with the first Bush in office.

You are right. My friend said they were called off when they had total victory at hand.

You are blinded by ignorance and the inability to understand what is being said. We are SPEAKING OF THIS NATION! Hate poisons the heart and blinds the eyes.

As I stated........neither you, nor your ilk are capable of understanding.

You are not the only person with friends OR family fighting today. As well, my patriotism is NEITHER blind, nor ignorant.

If you do not believe that international terrorism is a threat to our Nation and our peoples, then it is you who is blind and ignorant, not those who serve in defense of our Nation and our freedom.

To ignore the threat these butchers represent to America and it's peoples is to invite chaos to run amok in our Cities. The ARE already here, and already killing Americans! But the tidal wave of their destruction is only stemmed by the men and women of our Military who are fighting them over there in those third world cesspools.

we are our own worst enemy,,,we neglect our own, worship the me, and turn a blind-eye'
faster than we can blink an eye,,,
we will soon lose/give-up/denounce all of our power, because of complacency and dis-regard -
refusing to be led by an Holy Power that in the 'beginning' established Spiritual/Moral Laws for us to live by -
this nation is rapidly denouncing God's Laws as 'unfair=unequal-unconstitutional and then '
throwing-them-in-the-ditch...

I pray that our Faith be strong enough to withstand the coming Tidal Wave of destruction and chaos
as it creeps up to our doors...
