puhleeze..... spare me.
You'd be speaking german or japanese if you'd of been running the second world war.
How about we quit spending money on drug addict's disability payments, drunks on disability, artist putting religious statues in urine, bridges and roadways for union "no-show" jobs, education bureaucrats that don't teach, "housing projects" for slum lords...etc....
The men and "women" that are "tired" joined the ARMED FORCES.
They volunteered.
We haven't had a "war" where you read about 500-1000 casualties in a DAY.
How about you do all of us a favor and if you can read, grab a history book and look up some of the casualty rates for other wars.
In fact find out how many people died last year in auto accidents. Or the bloody week that Chicago just had.
I don’t believe they’re tired. They know what we are up against, they want to see it through to the end.
Down and out and tired are not in a soldiers or marines vocabulary.
Let’s not forget all of the money spent on illegals.
Well said, every word of it.
Your “About” page is inspiring. But who are these Dallas Cowboys?

I got you covered on that one:
Historical US Casualties
The only thing missing here is a scale of "relative pain."
For example, 25,000 US deaths in the Revolutionary War doesn't sound so bad -- until you consider, that's out of a population at the time of only three million or so.
It would be equivalent in today's 300 million population to 2.5 million military deaths. Imagine that...
Same thing with the Civil War. Nearly 600,000 total military deaths, from a population around 30 million, equates in today's world to six million dead soldiers!
I've seen no figures for US civilian deaths in those wars, but must presume, since they aren't usually even mentioned (with a few exceptions) they were quite small to zero.
