Damn NightStalker how you been??? Good to see you here,
Cap'n, what the rest said, thanks.
But I do have one contrary thought, what makes this country special I think is that we can have Anti-War protestors, people burning the flag, speaking their minds and nobody gets "Disappeared", no one gets arrested (for speaking their minds anyway), and damnit that is why I served my Country, I swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States of America. It's not like you are released from that oath when you get it. Does it bring me to tears when I see our troops coming home in bags? Yes, but does it fill me with pride knowing that if nothing else, right or wrong, they died while Honoring their Oath to America.
So while I disagree with the politically motivated Anti-War protests I am always proud that they are out there, unafraid, speaking their minds, and exercising their right to free speech. It's what has made America a desirable place to live despite it's many troubles. When they cannot get out there, Burn a Flag and make their voices heard, that will be a sad day.
In short, I have a lot of respect and love for those currently serving in our Armed forces, don't ever forget about them and though I do not like the War protesters, at the same time I am glad they are able to be out there.
