I was in the Reserves for a relatively short period of time 20+ years ago, likely before you were born or much progressed beyond the rug-rat stage of existence. I have no claims of foreign service, or of service in the field. There is nothing remarkable in the least, of what I did. In the end, i came to realize that i did not suit the military, and moved on. However, I did shoulder a rifle at some point in my life. As such, i have the right, and the duty to defend those who have also, past and present. This does not translate into agreeing with everything that the military does, but i will respect those who serve in the military, past and present, regardless.
Your's is the typical liberalist opiniated comment, coming from those who wish to enjoy the freedoms afforded to them, without acknowledging the sacrifices and service behind it, past or present. Worse yet, you would besmirch the very reputations of those who have served, by passing judgement as to who would be innocent (or who is not) without actually having been involved in any way, shape or form in person, or even via observed 2nd hand experience.
In other words, through your comments, you have demonstrated absolute ignorance and spite for those who have done so much more than you, for their country -
including you. You are free to voice your opinion, but by the same token, you are not free from being called out on that opinion for the horse-**** that it is. Judge not, lest ye be judged.
Why are you Hoorah'ing? You are neither in the US Army, nor the Marines.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill
As for imkruzin's comments - those are totally uncalled for, and beneath contempt.
BTW sure callin it a joke was out of line, but I was talking about killing innocent people like Kruzin said in his post ok, because usually you hear and see that ****** from the american's ...So dont get all defensive on me beacuse you think your the **** for being in the army or was or w/e your situation is Bandit. The Canadian military is not a joke, i know that but its also not killing innocent people or doing alot of ****** up ******!... unlees you 2 have something else to say.....HOORAH!
