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.
