As far as being 'proud to serve', do you really think you are protecting the folks at home by bringing the white man's ideology to the middle east? We have no business there....we need to secure our own borders and keep people out rather than always playing world police force. There are countries that do not want MTV and pokemon...nor crack cocaine, teenage pregnancies, and over-priced real estate......the white man has no business asserting himself on these people and paving way for western ideology in their country.
While I applaud your patriotism, I feel that you are woefully naive.
Once again, I postulate the question:
How many U.S. soldiers, humvees, comanche attack helicopters, and 4 star bird colonels does it take to catch one arab riding along the mountains of pakistan aboard a donkey??? Seems to me Sept 11 was a number of years ago......I still do not see Osama Bin Laden in handcuffs. Dont buy in to the lies friend.
