The anti America diatribe I see in this post sickens me like none I have ever read.
I spent almost 13 years in the Marine Corps to help give you the right to freedom of speech and would have gladly given my life to help protect that right. I still feel that way today.
Even though your anti American bullsh#t sickens me more than any other I have read on this site, I totally support your right to say it.
I don't hate anti Americans, in fact I don't actually hate anyone or anything. Anything except war. I know what war is, and I know what war can do. I also know what others around the world can do to people that sit around, like yourselves, and try to intelligently discuss what is going on around them, without actually standing up and doing something about it.
There will always be people in the world looking to force others to do and say what they don't want to do or say. And I thank God there will always be people, like me and others, that are willing to stand up and put our lives on the line to stop them.
I did not attach, or address my comment to any one particular person, as I did not want to be visualized, or accused of attacking any one person. But I am proud of the fact that I am willing to stand up and do everything in my power to stop someone wronging another. I'm proud of the fact I would do anything in my power to right a wrong, up to and including giving my life in the process.
I don't have a college education. I don't have a sheep skin on my wall. But I have put my life on the line to help protect a brother. I have been recognized by my country for so called heroic actions. And I know the difference between right or wrong. To me, someone is wrong for running to another country to avoid being called up in the draft, but I understand their wanting to do so. Whether out of fear for their lives, or because of political beliefs. But I could not do it myself.
I wish there were no wars in this world. I wish there were no more people in the world bent on killing others just because they don't believe in the same things. But that's not reality. That's not the way things are.
If you don't like, and don't support our country I would like to challenge you to find one better. Try and find another country that supports your right to spout all the crap you have here in this post, and I'm sure in others. Try and find another country that supports it's citizens like this country does.
I don't agree with everything this country does. I know we are fed lies, and I know there are things that need change.but I still support it, and would put my life on the line to protect it. I'm also glad there are ALOT of people out there just like me. They are putting their lives on the line each and every day so that those of you that want to talk as much crap as you are can continue. And I thank God for each and every one of them. SEMPER FI!!!
