It's still service, and someone's life will be saved and probably already has been because of your actions.

Thank you.

At least we now know what we are dealing with and how much credance to give his opinion.

It's just as well that he stays home hiding under the bedclothes. I wouldn't want to depend on him to guard my back.

I volunteered and served my three years, eleven months, and eighteen days and I'm proud of it. It was a million dollar experience I wouldn't give ten cents to repeat. If I got a notice in the mail today that my country needed me, I go again and give it my best, 68 years old and all.

This is a guy who basically exists to be the troll in any thread. You can use words like "patriotism", "honor", "for country", and "service", and he will act like he uis better than anyone who uses these words simply because his stunted little mind will never understand them.

Re: American Heroes

Just the fact that you are allowed to freely choose whether or not you wish to enlist is enough justification for showing the utmost respect for our troops of past and present. They're protecting the liberties we enjoy every day that we usually take for granted. I know a WWII veteran who survived the 3rd hour of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, and he brought me to tears the one time he ever told me and my father about his experiences. Words cannot express my thanks for those fighting for us. If I didn't get accepted to the college I'm at, I know I would be enlisted in the Navy right now.

There is nothing to stop you from enlisting as soon as you get your degree. The country needs educated people.

You are right, I've stated that I hold the military in high regards but it doesn't matter. You dont want to hear the other side, just wanna tear it up. This is the fight you were looking for and you will not get it. I stand down soldier, you the man. I'm unpatriotic, have no honor and offer no service. That is where you were going with this and I fed you. You do it all for me and I hide under the bedsheets and whine like a little girl. You nailed it on the head. Congrats.

I would fight and defend my country. I am by no means anti-war, I do however want to know that when we do go to war it is in fact to defend the country. Didn't mean to fuel your fire cause you guys just jump at the chance to call someone a coward and unpatriotic.

You're the one who wanted the fight, but you did get one part of all that rambling nonsense correct: I did nail you on the head.

This war that we are in now WAS to defend the country, and still is being fought for that reason.

By the way, Destroyer, what exactly would you do if your son joined the military?

The liberal theory is that the war in Iraq was about oil. That's why we're getting the oil for free from Iraq and the price of gas at the pumps is so low. Sometrhings wrong with this picture. Somebody please explain where that theory goes wrong.

I'd have to know what the world affairs are at the time. Some time in the military to learn dicipline and responsibility wouldn't hurt. Neither would the future benefits. I'd have to be comfortable with the administration in charge. I would strongly advise him not to do it. I would use Iraq and Vietnam as points for not doing it. On the other hand what could I do if he's defiant and thats what he chooses?.

It might be that he has a more enlightened view of world affairs and isn't stuck in the 60s and 70s.
