We need to make the distinction of a Politician's justification for war and a Soldier following orders right quick. This debate is not on our Soldiers, rather the Politicians.

Soldiers overseas aren't fighting for OUR freedom. We already have ours. Get it? The only problem is the ones we fight for don't really want it. Like a 16 year old that gets a 3 series from Mommy and Daddy....Freedom is only really appreciated when it’s earned the old fashioned way. You can't just have it handed to you and expect it to work.

This is why we are losing our “Freedoms” everyday here in the US. None of us had to earn it on our home soil. Once enough is taken away, then the Tree of Liberty will be refreshed and the cycle will repeat. The Phoenix doesn't spring from partially burned logs, only ashes.

Oh yeah - one last thought. Soldiers can be Heroes. Cops? Not so much. They are nothing more than paid Jack Booted Union Thugs that couldn't care less about "Serving & Protecting" all the while throwing up the Blue Wall. To me, the only time a cop can be a hero is when he breaks the wall of silence otherwise they are 100% complicit. I learned this first hand and very personally last week. F' Cops (sorry Dogfish)
