I swore an oath to this country and the Constitution.  I didn't swear to protect liberals or socialist or Communist.  Just because they enjoy freedoms granted to them by the Constitution, it doesn't mean I or anyone that wears the uniform are compelled to do anything for them unless ordered to do so. So you so called people at DU might want to rethink your position about this.

Same here.  Also, since the Commander-In-Chief is probably going to change come November, they might really want to rethink their positions.

That is the one thing I regret, is to join the military. Because of my physical disabaility(being too short), I was never given the honor to fight for my country. I would have.

I doubt many soldiers want to be idolized or lionized. Most that have seen combat would be happy with simple gratitude rather than some emo jackass lib with an American hating chip on his/her/its shoulder.

It would be good and healthy for me to kick you right in the sack.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Both my Father and my oldest brother saw combat. My Brother did twice in Vietnam and in Desert Storm. They were both happy as hell to just get back home. My Father got a good welcome home after being returned from Europe as a POW of the Germans My Brother of course had to wait for his after Desert Storm. I don't think I'm anymore a hero or want anyone to think so but those that have gone into a war zone and fought deserve more then what they are getting from the left. Despite what the news wants all of us the think the military isn't a bunch of thugs. The left lovesto call for troops to frag thier leaders and one that we know of on DU openlt bragged about wanting to spit on the faces of people far better then he.

How about you members over at DU step up and tell some returning troops just what you are posting over there right now. I'm pretty certain that you may discover that having your insurance paid up might be the best thing you have done in years. And when you wake up from the coma you find youself in feel free to post about it on DU. And have the good manners to tell the truth if your candyasses get beat liek arented mule and none of those stupid bouncies we all know you lie about.

Most of us don't view ourselves as heroes.  Those that come in wanting to be one on purpose either get disillusioned rather quickly or they die trying or both.

But while we don't do this for the golry...neither do we want some Libtard assclown telling us we don't deserve it.

Stupid scrunt cali was able to lie around in bed recuperating from her broken leg because of those she dismisses.  Would she have had that luxury in the late 1700s?  No, her sorry ass would have most likely died.

The military has sacrificed for hundreds of years benefiting the likes of DUmbasses like those in that thread.  They're too stupid to understand that fact or they simply want to deny it for liberal street cred.  But, they're always ready to support violent 'revolution' to support their own agendas.

40. EXCELLENT POST REC'd

Congratulations on sticking your neck out for the Freeper trolls and idiots jump into the circle jerk mode to deride what I've known for years: Military service is not only unnecessary but incredibly dangerous to the security and sanctity of the world.

What we SHOULD do is to stand down our military except for coast guard and other border protection (NOT "patrol") duties. We don't need military in other parts of the world to act in our unilateral efforts.

What should be done is to start migrating our offense-related military, including naval ships, elite forces, and all major aircraft, to the United Nations, where a consortium of peaceful, progressive nations can take the controls, and ensure that our military is ONLY used for defense and humanitarian purposes. There is no reason for ANY one nation to unilaterally decide to invade or kill based upon its republicanist leadership's whims.

To that end, we should create a worldwide referendum and begin to migrate the US military to the UN, and stand down all military that's not needed. Pronto.
Because we all know that the UN has a stellar track record when it comes to peace keeping troops. ::)

BanTheGOP is the most obvious, unskilled troller mole the DUmp has had in a long time.

The liquidation squad and Skimmer's flunkies have lost the high respect I've always had for them.

If this mole belongs to one of you smurky little smart asses, you better dial it back a notch.

I cannot believe this guy is a troll, otherwise he WOULD have been jack-scrotumed years ago. Most likely a plant by Skinner to rile the masses.

Agreed.  He is too over the top for a genuine DUmmie.  He has to be a troll or mole.

Funny thing is, they were all hot-cock to send someone else's kids into harm's way when Billy Jeff called up the Navy just so we could get our asses chased off by some machete-wielding Macoutes in Haiti or bombing Kosovo to save some blond-haired Muzzies--by the way, Billy Jeff said we'd be out of there in 18 months.  What's it been now, 13, 14 years?

Yep Amazing how those missions are ok but when you need to really drop the hammer on those that took down a couple of buildings with airplanes or kept violating the UN ceasefire agreement then they can't wait to put the brakes on it.
