Stop thanking the troops for me: No, they don’t “protect our freedoms!”

Why is pro sports constantly jamming military fervor down our throats? Their claims are wrong in more ways than one

Thinking of Dad mentioning being at Leyte Gulf in WWII. After seeing the typhoon on the map I know where he was. Our greatest generation saved our butts with blood and guts. God Bless our military and all who have served.

That was my first thought. Like when they cast Alec Baldwin as Jimmy Doolittle in “Pearl Harbor.” What a joke, and an insult to the memory of one of our greatest heroes and a real man’s man.

And I know we should not judge based on appearances, but he doesn’t look like much of a sports fan to me. So, piss off, Justin.

Stupid. The shoes you step on today may very well be the shoes you’re shining tomorrow.

Yes but the left revere china... they think it is the model... so let him taste what he thinks that it is that he loves. Of course you are correct about the others also.

“It’s been over a century since the freedom of Americans has been threatened.”.......

What rock is Mr. Dolittle living under?

This is how liberals truly feel about the military. They have done a good job pretending they like the military over the last few years, but the truth is hidden by their fake smiles and sugary praise.

I appreciate the service of our veterans and those currently serving. We would be putting our heads in the sand though if we deny that the military can be used by despotic governments to advance agendas that are not in the best interest of a free people.

Our troops need to be home. I’m tired of the U.S. trying to save people from themselves. I also don’t think the U.S. military’s primary function should be performing humanitarian duties.

Why need to ask if we really want to be on a perpetual war footage. We can best honor our veterans by saying no to useless wars.

*It’s been over a century since the freedom of Americans has been threatened.”*

CORRECTION:

*It’s been ONLY 5 MINUTES since the freedom of Americans has been threatened-BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT!”*

There. Fixed it.

3 minutes inside a locked 8x10 room with him, and end of problem. Zero recidivism.

He has an M.A. in public policy from Stony Brook University.

He was robbed, not to mention his knowledge of history.
