I served and made you all less safe by taking part in policing the globe. I wasn't old enough to understand why I was playing cowboys and Indians in the desert with a bunch of backwards people that didn't want me there. Well they got their wish, as I'm now back home, and they're in the same hellhole that I found them in 11 years later.
Well worth trillions of dollars, and thousands upon thousands of human lives.................
Thankfully, Obama ended Bush's Iraq fiasco, despite the non-stop whining by Republicans and teabaggers.
Just curious... where do you get your information from? 'Cuz you're getting a very, VERY tainted version of the truth.
Obama is following the timeline set by George W Bush for the Iraq pullout. The ONLY thing you can give him credit for in that regard is following instructions. Yay. He's a good instruction follower...
And I don't know what you're talking about with the rest of your post. I've not only NOT heard "non-stop whining" from Republicans and conservatives, but I haven't really heard ANY whining.
Again, I have to question your information sources. Either they're lying to you - and you're believing it - or YOU are lying.
The military does not "provide" for freedom, but it can certainly defend freedom. We were sitting ducks before WWII. With no military, we'd have been attacked on both coasts of the country.
Exactly, I don't know of anyone who believes the military creates or grants us freedom. I served to protect it for future generations to come. All the constitutionally granted freedom in the world does you no good when you are invaded.
We are a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Without every citizen doing their part, we wouldn't have freedom.
Without every citizen doing their part? Really? There is a large group of people who don't do anything but suck money out of the system and then think because they can fog a mirror they deserve government handouts. They are NOT doing their part yet you praise them as doing their part .. Really?
To anyone who served in our armed forces... Thank you for your service.

The military is a vital need for national defense. It does not provide anyone, any freedom. The constitution does that.
Actually, the Constitution doesn't do it, either. You're BORN with certain rights. The Constitution merely guarantees that the government won't take them from you.

Then you obviously weren't paying attention to Mitt Romney when he said Obama pulling out of Iraq was a "great tragedy".

LOL the clock ran out when Obama couldn't seal the deal.
