I agree that it's mostly an empty platitude. I also believe that it was used as a way to prop up the Iraq War. Remember how right-wing neo-cons tried to tell us that if we didn't support the war, it meant that we didn't support the troops? Such BS propaganda.
I'm an Army veteran and I must say that I've never found the statement offensive. However, I do sometimes feel a little sheepish like "Who me? What did I do?" Basically I just showed up for formation at four o'clock in the morning for four years all the while counting down to the day when I would once again be a free man!
That was a bonehead thing to say. Maybe you should look up what JFK had to say sometime, after you get done holding your breath, and pull your head out of the sand.
My son is up to his butt in sand right now and for fools like you, who can take freedom and liberty for granted and whine like a bunch of little school girls.

Your son may be harming his country for selfish reasons.

Same here.
Ergohead, you were out of line towards Mac, especially with your second comment.
