It’s a part of life in this country that we just have to live with. I know, but you can complain and stamp your feet all week long but its not going to change the fact that the majority of this nations citizens have decided to support the government’s actions.

Irrelevant. It seems to me that despite your brothers sacrifice that you didn’t learn the less he was teaching to us all. There are many types of sacrifice.



Also irrelevant. This was your brothers sacrifice, his service and his decision, not yours. I did my time, I directly served my country in the military for more than a decade. Additionally I served my country as a foster parent for 2 decades, and continue to serve my country today as a member of the TSA. I am proud of my record of service, and your opinion on the matter is of no consequence. But I am also proud of your brothers service, and his sacrifice.



Your position being what? What makes your position more righteous than mine? What makes your position, your opinion, more valid than mine?

This thread was not supposed to be about you or me. Not about what I believe or what you believe. It was supposed to be about another opinion, someone else’s opinion that I thought might be of interest to a few of the posters here, maybe provoke some reasoned discussion and thoughtful commentary about what “might” be realistic. Thanks awfully for taking us off track.
