What's the difference really? American troops are just the global cops. It seems perfectly politically correct to hate the police or even doctors but if you ever suggest that a soldier is anything short of a hero worthy of lavish adoration people think you're a horrible person or a traitor.

Posted by someone who has obviously never served in the military, or has any clue what the military is about.

The people who think it's politically correct to hate cops generally also hate the military.

because according to the liberals, the military people are heros, where as the LEOs represent "the man" and "white mans law" and they carry out the orders of their masters to subdue the population in any way they can. funny thing is though, that is exactly what the liberals want, government running everything, and using law enforcement to keep the citizens in line.

You think it's "politically correct" to hate cops and doctors? You must live in a very different world than I.

You are totally out to lunch with your views about what 'the liberals' think. I don't hate cops or the military but some members are a discredit to their profession.

According to which liberals? "The liberals" are not one monolithic group. Do you folks ever get tired of making blanket, generalized statements like this? Unless you can actually cite a source which shows the majority of liberals actually believe the nonsense you just posted, then you're doing nothing more than blowing smoke and stating your very biased opinion, or regurgitating some foolishness you heard about "the liberals." Independent thought is a beautiful thing.

So you don't those who fight for our freedom aren't heroes. I'm not sure what this has to do with being liberal though. Those who are willing to fight wars for the rest of us without regard to the loss they might have... losing limbs, brain damaged and even the loss of their lives....yeah I consider them heroes. It's really appalling and shameful that you don't.
