That's shameful. A lot of great young men have fought and died in the hopes that the next generation would take up the next fight that would be necessary to preserve freedom and liberty in the expectation of our founding fathers.
Liberals have cried, "If Bush/Reagan gets re-elected, I'm moving....". And now I see it here.
I see a lot of panty wasted quitters on here. And it embarrasses me. FREEPER UP!
I know the frustrations, great enthusiasms to a worthy cause, and failure while daring greatly. I know victory and defeat! I am engaged and battle hardened. I know the perseverance and determination that is required and I expect the support and guidance of my fellow brethren dying in the trenches with me if necessary. That other men will see what we have done here, be inspired and carry on the fight is enough to motivate me to take the next hill or die trying.
...in wasted, useless, futile wars such as Iraq and Afghanistan. The politically correct military is a major part of the problem. No laudable reason to enlist now unless the person really needs the cash.
I would have agreed with your sentiments in the 50s. It's just another (failing) country now.
Sounds like you have major PTSD. Seek help and return to the real world.
