I my self have never killed anyone....Nor would I want to....However I firmly believe that what we have in this country far out weighs what others have and people have fought and died for it. I will politiley agree to disagree with you on just about every subject you mention....I do think a strong military is effective and needed...But to hate, or attck soldiers here at home is unfair, and prejudice as a whole. To dislike or even resent the government is a right you embrace as do I. To openly express or even fight that is a right I embrace as do you....So please when you feel the hate or anger build up and you feel strong resenment or whatever emotion you feel, do not turn it at the soldiers and servicemembers....I admit some recruiters are vultures, yet people have the 'Right' to ecplore any and all choices of their futures whether you agree or disagree with what their choice is....when a person asks a question I trust that there are plenty of educated people to share facts or conflicting opinions to ensure that each individual is making a well educated decision. I weighed my choices when I join...i knew the odds....and granted some are displeased....but I am happy....and others should be allowed to look at these roads as well...
