very well put, and concise. you only missed the easy flame about the response to the "dumbest people fighting" statement. but that could have been due to sympathy or a little tact. A-

Well, I guess when you think about the dumbest people fighting, it's kind of true. What do all the asshole jocks who don't have the grades to go to college, but feel the need to justify themselves do? That's right, they join the military. It's the only option for some.
You know this is where I get pissed off at. Some of the DUMBEST people, you know it takes a lot of brains, guts and inner strength to do what these people are doing. Yeah, its really easy to look at a soldier and think he must be dumb. Why doesn't he have a real JOB?
Its not just an option... You know these people put their lives on the line. Day in and Day out. They are put in life and death situation every day so they learn to think quick on their feet. They can dress a complex wound in the feild and still be able to fight back from the fuckers that are shooting at them.
Can you take a part an M16. Chances are no. Can you disarm a bomb. Chances are no. Can you build a bridge while some other fuckers are shooting at your and bombing you. Chances are no. Can you do half the shit these men and woman are doing. NO....
Half of you would not survive basic training. Yet you are given the right to run down those that made it through. For all this... you think we would be rolling in the cash. No... its no high pay job, its no glory...its done out of pride, love and care for this great fucking NATION.
I am sick of listening to my soldiers get ran down. By you, by anti-americans from another country and in our own. I don't ask people from other countries to take pride in my country...but i am not wishing death upon their soldiers and I am not wishing ill upon their country. So they can shut up about Mine.
I take these attacks as personal as they get. Thats my HUSBAND. that like walking up to you and saying your girlfriend is fat ugly and stupid. You wouldn't just roll over and pretend it wasn't said. My husband is not dumb. nor was he a jock.
The people he is fighting with right now aren't either. Those are the ones that no matter what, they selfishly gave their lives to you. So slap us in the fucking face and call them dumb. Cause like i said somewhere else....its your own reflection you got a face.
