The right worships guns, looks up to athletes and doesn't view the office of the Presidency as something to be aspired to..Just keep on dumbing it down wingnuts.

Also Rob Parker called RG3 a cornball brother not "African Americans". At least pretend to be honest when making a racial troll thread.

It's not always that much different, either.
Get paid for being trained, free food, shelter, clothing, utilities, education, health benefits, etc.
Not much different at all.

How are they protecting me by attadking innocent people overseas?
They don't protect me/us or our rights.
If anything, they make the US more dangerous and open for attack.

As ex-military you are just as guilty of doing the same thing you are accusing others of. I don't care if you were a paper pusher, you were in the military and willing to pick up a gun and shot someone if you were so ordered. Then again, maybe you did.

I`d bet my butt that my 35 years of shift work in the steel mill was tougher duty than Griffin`s parents had in Okinawa.

Could be. But that doesn't diminish what they did. Point is, they worked. They happened to be employed by the government. They were not receiving money just because they were alive. They had to do something in exchange for that money, just like you.

Nobody insulted them.It`s the president who`s on the receiving end of the insults here.
