Slab are you trying to say that its BS that I don't have any appreciation or respect for the sacrifices that are being made daily? That only by putting on my blindfold and waving yellow ribbons off some freaking bridge will I be a good patriot?

No, my little speech always includes the part where I mention I didn't think it was such a hot idea to play in that particular sandbox. Do you know why? Because alot of them have never had the chance to hear it face to face from someone who considers themselves a liberal. They shouldn't live with the impression that half the country doesn't appreciate what they have done. That just because liberals think the war was a mistake, doesn't mean we aren't thankful that there are people who will answer the call to serve their country regardless.

BUT, that doesn't mean I don't respect your "Old Saying".
