Effectively, he has. I have served, and I volunteered, in addition, I was classified as one of those "sacrifices" I spoke of. I was informed and well aware of the fact that I would be sacrificed to keep secret intelligence secret.
True patriots pledge their lives and their sacred honors to protect and defend this country.
And I didn't? Remember, the "system" I reffered to is America. I put it on the line so Hanoi Jane Fonda, John Kerrie', and you could say the things about me that you do here on FR.
Don't lower yourself to the foolishness of the author...
By author I assume you mean Travis McGee who promotes the "foolishness" that America win her wars. Well, tough..
My uncle put it on the line in WWII as well (Battle of the Bulge, Remagen bridge). He was killed by a bazooka hit two days after crossing the Remagen bridge. We visit his grave most memorial days in Nebraska.
I take nothing away from your service to this country. You will be forever honored for your service. I simply pointed out that taking innocent AMERICAN CITIZENS and putting them in internment camps and FORCING them to dispose of ALL of their worldly possessions is WRONG! That's not the country that I support, and I would hope that it's not yours?
