There has been alot of negative things said about this man, but I admire his spirit. I wish we had a few more American spirits like that, but unfortunately we are filled with a bunch of whiners and weenies.
I was watching a program on the History channel last night about the Revolutionary war. I don’t see this country being capable of doing anything like that ever again.
The whole country did not partake in the Revolutionary War. Just a minor percentage did. No matter how bad the government schools get or how bad society in general becomes, they will always be a minor percentage ready to take up arms to defend our freedom. I believe the framers referred to them as being a well armed and regulated militia. By armed I believe they also were referring to being armed with the wisdom of knowing the actual costs involved with securing that freedom. Unfortunately quite a few people have died in Georgia. So those costs were great. Hopefully when the fog of war is lifted we will completely understand the factors causing this engagement.
That country "filled with a bunch whiners and weenies" is currently shedding blood and treasure on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan to secure this nation and the freedom of millions of our fellow human beings. How a citizen of America can be so dismissive and pessimistic in describing his own country given the events of the last 7 years is beyond me.
