I wanted to say something quick and to the point, however, I have to register (waste of time) and so I shall comment on this blurt lunacy right here:The Anti American sentiment is becoming louder and less clear...see this example below
Well, I have an ugly confession to make: I don't support the troops - at
least not unconditionally. When somebody tells me they serve in the military, my
first impulse isn't to say, "Thank you for your service!" like those
insufferable chickenhawks on talk radio.
My first impulse is to say, "I'm sorry to hear that." Because I am. I'm
sorry to know that the person I'm talking to might someday be maimed or killed
on the job, or might someday kill someone else. Or refuel a plane that drops
bombs on buildings.
There are, of course, plenty of laudable functions that soldiers serve.
But their sworn duty is to wage war. They may perform this duty with courage.
They may feel great love for their country. But we don't pay them simply for
their patriotism or integrity. We also pay them to kill people.
If not for those troops defending our freedom for the past 100+years, where would you be today?
