Wow Gnirts.

Have you ever sworn an oath to defend the values of your nation, picked up a rifle and actually DONE something about it? I admit I have not done so, but I most certainly have a desire to join them but as of yet have been prevented by frustrating circumstances involving an utterly inept bureaucracy from doing so (further elaboration is unnecessary). Irregardless of my imposition I fully support our troops to whatever end may come about.

I don't know how you feel about the rights you currently exercise in your nation but you certainly haven't earned them. But here in America they are just that: Inalienable rights guaranteed to the populace. While I may feel that I have not fully earned the rights I do exercise, the difference between us is that I'm working toward earning it while you are busy abusing those who actually earned those rights. Those men have fought for it, shed blood, sweat, and endured bitter tears for it. They have most certainly earned the rights they freely exercise.

You are exactly the kind of person who leave that kind of work to everyone else, riding on the coattails of better men than themselves. All the while you are ridiculing them, putting them under a microscope for every mistake they made while in a position of service these men volunteered for time and again. Have you ever wondered WHY a large number of the soldiers there have volunteered for a 4th tour? You are content with the busy nothings of everyday life while being quick to criticize the faults of others before correcting your own.




P.S. Here's the Dead horse Icon that dean was inquiring about (copy it and use it in photobucket, it's a grat free service).
