I strongly suspect that none of you have ever served in our services in wartime: you'd likely have a different view of what you're doing.

I strongly suggest you rethink this sentence and maybe consider writing an apology comment for this remark.

Some of us come from the mindset that you don't brag about what you did for your country, you just hand off the torch to another generation and continue living for the future, not wallowing in the past.

Many old soldiers learned this growing up, some stumbled upon it, but it is something many modern day former veterans should seriously consider.

What happened there stays there, it's like Vegas, it stays in Vegas. Only a liberal would use another man's service and disrespect him for it by twisting the very honor said veteran deserves.

No man, and I mean NO MAN, has a right to ever question the service of an honorably discharged soldier.

That my FRiend is over the line.

I served in combat and was severely wounded - and the realities of what was important and what wasn't shifted for me. I saw many good young men die for our country - while overfed and overpaid "sports heroes" enjoyed all the comforts of home.

Football is a game done for entertainment and has absolutely no benefit of any kind for our security or freedom. My experience in war told me what was important and I will always value my flag and anthem over that sport.

Go ahead, tell us what service you have done.
