@local Resident

You are making my point. Don't you realise how governments use the sacrifice of their troops to cover for their blunders? Our military has nothing to do with defending freedom of speech at all. We do not own Afghanistan or Iraq and occupying those nations is only making everything worse for the world.

General George Patton " you are not supposed to die for your country you are supposed to get the enemy to die for his country"

The key is to learn... The war in Afghanistan has nothing to do with anyone's Freedom at all. It is an occupation that was doomed to failure from day number one. It was another foolish military answer to a question that there is no answer to.

I also respect any soldiers sacrifice, ultimate or otherwise...but our government has put these soldiers in harms way on a mission doomed to failure for over 10 years.

War is a business...just study the contracts associated with military spending the tell me soldiers are sacrificing for FREEDOM of SPEECH. Do not kid yourself it is about the money flow at the Pentagon and the corrupt nature of OUR government.

If God Blesses America then why are we occupying so many countries, why have we bombed so many countries? The USA is a military Empire crumbling under its own weight.

Is the USA to home of the BRAVE...attacking from DRONES at suspected targets? Our military is a high tech meat axe smashing anything it can and calling it fighting for FREEDOM of Speech...get real.

DRONES...now stop and think of the implication of that word....really.


Are you sure this is what you would like to do?
