Um, excuse me; it is, go back and read post #385.
>What it means is that you and your son place your own personal sense of pride over the well being of the nation you would purport to serve.
Question: Do soldiers owe their [supreme] allegiance to a) The Nation, b) The President, c) The Secretary of Defense, d) The Constitution, e) the Supreme Court, OR f) their intimidate commanding officer?
Justify your answer.
>The honorable men and women are the ones serving their country, the ones who understand that the need for such service exists irregardless of who currently occupies the Oval Office.
First “irregardless” isn’t a word; and even if it were it would mean “not regardless” and be defined as something like:
–adjective
1. having or showing regard; heedful; mindful (often fol. by of ).
–adverb
2. with concern as to advice, warning, hardship, etc.
—Idiom
3. not regardless of, for the sake of; with regard for
Secondly, how is it “serving the country” to despise and disregard the supreme law of the land, The Constitution?
>The ones who are currently fighting and dying for you.
The ones who are lucky if they can have their vote counted? The ones who can have their rights to own/keep weapons near-whimsically repudiated?
Uh, yeah.
Let’s see: “I want to join and stand beside my fellow citizens risking their lives for my country. But I’ve made up a bunch of groundless crap about the President in my own head for which I have no evidence and of which nobody in a position of authority per the Constitution will even acknowledge. That compels me to sadly recognize that my fellow citizens risking their lives for my country are not fulfilling their duty.”
Yeah, that’s some real honor there.
