MyLot and how "grubby hands" slams user for being an American Soldier!!!

i know how u feel im eighteen with the 82nd airborne and people give us this all the time....just shake it off cause they dont know, i didnt do it because of the money that was the last deciding factor... so grubbyhands needs to get a better perspective on things before he opens his mouth

Well I don't think the soldiers are at fault - it's the people who put them there! Most of them would rather be doing what everybody else does. (Working or being at home - watching the game on the weekend and being with thier families) Politics is where all the crap starts!

I think that people forget that each war is taught from a different perspective depending on where you are. No country wants to look bad and all journalism is bias. I guess in NZ Americans aren't looked up to or grubbyhands had one of those opinionated teachers. I just remember I learned about the Civil War North of the Mason-Dixon Line and my mother learned about it South of the Mason-Dixon Line and we did not see eye to eye on that war. It opened my eyes to see that war is taught from perspective. Personally right or wrong, I think being willing to defend your country is an honorable thing. Thank you.

Hey guys, I'm going to let this discusison stay for the time being, since there are some legitimate points being made by the participants, but please refrain from personal attacks against other members, or I will need to delete this discussion. Thanks for your understanding.

Jerm: Let me start out by saying (THANK YOU) for serving your country and it's people, I have 2 nephews in the service and we are very proud of them, as well I am proud of you. There are allways going to be a few unhappy people who disagree with the military. Please don't take them to heart. There are so many more of us that are proud of you and the others that put their selves on the line to protect and serve. You can't argue with people who believe they are right and you are wrong. Better left alone most of the time. (SOLDIER) is an (HONERABLE) word, Don't forget it. Like everyone else this is my opinion and everyone is entitled to one. I believe there are many more of the proud than of the disgruntled. I'm Proud of you. Hang in there!

It's funny how the uninformed lurch out at those trying to make a "real difference" in the world. Rather than just typing things and labeling themselves as making a difference. Hat's off to the American Soldier!
