Boy would I like to take your head off for that one! Say that to me in public and I will personally humilate you with my intelligence and then give you the beating of a lifetime. You say we should know what we are proud of? I come from a long line of Service men. My Great grandfather served in two wars (WWI and WWII) and in serving in WWII he served with his son (my grandfather) in WWII. He retired and then his son continued to serve. He, being my Grandfather served not only in WWII, but also took a tour of duty in the Korean war, And a trip in Vietnam, and lets not forget about a SECOND trip (like anyone would ever want to go back to that hell) to Vietnam before he retired. My father Served his four years as a marine and was in Desert Storm (Gulf War) before he finished serving. I am in school and after I finish plan to become a Marine Special Forces Operative (recon, sniper). Do yourself a favor and dont tell people what they should be proud of huh buddy?
I do agree with you on a few things and one of them being we arent at war. WE SHOULD BE BUT WE ARENT! People say "we should let them attack us first". Ok. Point. If you are about to get into a fight and a guy is going to hit you with a baseball bat and you have nowhere to run...you get the chance to hit him...would you say "legally...I think im gonna let you beat the living hell out of me before I hit you back" or would you hit him while you have the chance to defend yourself. But let's not forget September 11th! We WERE attacked but some people STILL say "that isn't enough". Ok. Another point. Lets also pretend you are in that same fight again...and the guy does hit you! Now you have legal rights to knock the living $hit out of him...BUT....would you say "wait a min, im not sure if i can hit you yet do to the rules and regulations of fighting in this system we live in, could you hit me with that bat one more time?". NO! your going to give this guy the beating of his lifetime for attacking you! I dont think we should use Nukes. NO but we do have to power to turn that place into a PARKING LOT without a single man taking a beach or jumping out of a plane! And trust me...that wouldnt be a war. USA vs China is a war! OK?
I used to think we didnt belong anywhere else in the world except here. And then, people from outside our country attacked us and broke our back! As an American, I am not proud of the way we sometimes act, I am not proud of our socitey and how it has grown to be manipulative and hateful...full of malice and anger...too many liars and not enough christians...but I am proud of my country. I am proud to be an American becuause I am free. I have freedom. You must not know how high of a price Freedom has on it. Maybe you should ask one of the soldiers lying on the Beach of Normady with his intestines laying in the sand screaming for his mother. Or maybe the soldier who has been captured and is being tortured in a POW camp. Why do they suffer so? Freedom has no price of cash, gold, or even technology. It's price? LIFE, and a lot of it! It's because of dumb idealist idiots like you that my Grandfather...after suffering in a POW camp and watching his friends get tortured to death only for the love of his country and for the freadom of his son and GRANDSON...came home to a country who he loved and suffered for and faught for so many years SPIT on him and cursed him and called him a "baby killer". You want to live a sucessful "free" life in America? Then maybe you should "rethink" your strategy man. Sit down and read our "rules of engagement" and you will say "jeez! That's unfair to us!". Our soldiers always ALWAYS have the deck stacked against them and they come out victorious! That's what im proud of.
