good point! WE are lucky to have been born here. Since I actually back the government on this issue, I was refering to the fact that they (anti's/protestors/etc...) could lose their lives in other parts of the world for being so outspoken.... of course you knew the intent of the comment, you were just looking for an opportunity to chime in again, weren't ya. I am in total agreement with Aunty, its a shame that the military people that frequent our board have to be witness to this crap. It's really kind of emabrassing.... its the wrong place and time.
