[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1546693, member: 22662"] Good for you. My buddy will be back in town this weekend so I'm helping him move his mother in law. He's a marine Lt. Colonel out in San Diego. Great guy but I think a little disenchanted. Service is noble and needed and everyone should respect those who do. Don't think for one moment though that your patriotism and service hasn't been misused and coopted by politicians and corporations for whom you mean as little as the welfare recipients you find so repulsive. If you live, you are a hometown photo-op; if you die, your grieving family is the backdrop for a congressman and a flag draped coffin. Have you noticed how trite "thank you for your service" has come to sound? You've bled for this country. You've watched others die for this country. For board members and welfare queens, junkies and rock stars. Soccer moms and single dad's of all colors and creeds. Either all of them are worth it or none of them are worth it because we are what make America. Just remember that you volunteered and whether people are genuinely grateful or spit in your face, this is the America you swore to defend. All of it. Fair? Probably not. [/QUOTE]
