There are a number of very ugly (and I suspect anti-American) remarks posted at the bottom of the article, but for some reason I am unable to post a rebuttal. Anybody else like to have a go at telling the ignorant posters what patriotism means to Americans?
Being an American is just like patroitism, only different. Being an American is a way of life, it is a living, breathing enity. Not everyone that lives or was born in the United States is an "American". Being An Ameiican is being self reliant, as Louis L'Amor used to state in his westerns, "killing your own snakes". Being an American means solving your own day to day problems. Not crying on the shoulders of government or the police. That is only a little of what being an American entails.
It looks like the publication staff pulled the comments.
Comments are currently not available. It must have been some really anti-American bile that was posted.
I say good for this Marine. Yes, the social circle she was from is likely limousine liberal, and she is likely blackballed. But then, no real loss for her. She has chosen real people dealing with reality unvarnished.
For some sick reason, the Brits have been really, really nastily and bigoted against Americans. When we killed Bin Laden, there were horrible comments calling us warmongers and suchlike. It really made me wonder if we should be allies with them after all.
