He’s protecting your freedom. As your dad did.

“My country right or wrong” may not be righteous, and the entire quote, which I notice you truncate, indicates that. But I don’t like the idea of fighting in Syria any more than you probably do. We have not been attacked: intervention is therefore illegal. However, the military is subject to the civilian authority, which is how our system works. Take it up with Baraq, not the soldiers.

I respect your opinion, that was never an issue. But your assertion that somehow our soldiers must bow to the whim of homosexual opinion isn’t based in fact in my own experience and I notice you do not defend that statement in your reply.

We’ve got some good people defending this country. That’s not my opinion, that’s fact. If you can’t back those people, that’s your business and I respect that too.

I've never felt obligated to address every point someone makes, but since you persist...

Let him openly affirm that his faith (presuming it is) condemns homosexual behavior, while he's in uniform or in the presence of his fellows, and let me know how it goes.

If we've not been attacked, how is anyone protecting my freedom by going to Syria? That's a rhetorical question, btw.
