In a way you are both correct in what you are saying. Our men do get sent to war zones for political gain - but it aint their fault! They are doing a job and they do it darned well!
You will find no bigger supporter of our (British AND American) troops than myself - I have 2 sons who are in the armed forces - they have been to Iraq and Afghanistan BUT I have to question if we or indeed the countries themselves are actually any better off for it. What of the lives lost? I believe there are political reasons why we intervene in some countries when we don't in others. It is politically and financially motivated whether or not we care to admit it.
Our boys ROCK!

Hello I would like to just say I did not post this poem for people to get all bent out of shape. I posted it because I thought it was a beautiful poem,and tribute to all the soldiers who have died fighting for our country. I am talking all they way back to civil war etc. If I knew you all were going to turn my poem into a war zone I would have not posted it. I am honestly getting a bit pissed off at you all. I feel that sometimes there are times when people just need to shut up, and keep your comments to yourself. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion of course. But can you all please keep this as a post where we can just either thank the people for their services, or just shut up is that to much to ask?
Funny thing is, and apparently you don't understand............is that "these soldiers' (of which I was one) fought, shed blood, and some/many died to ENSURE YOUR RIGHT to post such a comment. Were it not for their sacrifice, posting a comment like this would end up with your being hauled away in chains to some dark, dingy, dungeon. Think about it.
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!
Never has been, never will be.
"God and the soldier we adore
In times of war and no more.
When the danger is past
And all things righted
God is forgoten
And the soldier slighted.

Lol yeah...they keep it real secure...on the other side of the world. Good thing there's no Muslim extremists here..oh wait....
And I would LOVE to move to Europe, but I'm afraid of being killed by U.S. foreign policy.
9/11....yeah...you know, cause we are at war with SAUDI ARABIA and all... Seriously how do you reason this? You DO realize that the 9/11 CR still hasn't been released to the public 15 years later and everyone who has read it has said our relationship with Saudi Arabia would be ruined right? It was Saudi Arabia that hit us. Pretty much the only country we haven't ruined in the Middle East.
But whatever, you can worship your flag all you want. I can't stop you unfortunately.

So either "our boys" in the Middle East aren't killing enough people to fuel our freedom generator or that's not really how freedom works.
Funny thing is...........what people like you can and never will understand is......your self righteous condemnations don't bother me, or most Vets I know. Why? That is why we fought and served. To give all peoples the right to speak as their hearts desire.
Your kind do not serve to belittle us, rather you only accomplish to belittle yourselves. Funny, too, too funny.
There is NO FREEDOM this Nation has ever experienced that WAS NOT bought with the blood of it's Soldiers.

Let He who lives without sin cast the first stone.

While I heard it said that Jesus never discussed the issue of marijuana in his ministries, well that if that passage isn't telling the stoners that there is no blessing in getting people stoned then I probably have misinterpreted it which is apparent since I though it was let he who is without sin cast the first stone. But it seems to me that it is hard to get stoned if there are those who are out there slinging. But that is one of the reasons that I joined the armed forces so that people could have the liberty to find Christ by faith and not the law.
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.
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.
