Laughable. You know him "peripherally" yet you still know he has sacrificed nothing in his life. Interesting. Anyway, you clearly you are inflamed just based on your incessant "my nephew has sacrificed nothing" mantra you continuously espouse on this thread. Seriously, I have never read anyone who knocks their own family member as much as you have.
We've all "sacrificed" something in our lives. I have said nothing against my nephew - he's a good guy who chose the military as his career. He's never been in combat, has always been either stateside or in Europe, has always had his family with him, and has been well taken care of by the US Air Force for the past 20+ years. My problem is not with him, but with you and others who insist on making all military personnel into heroes, when all are clearly not.
I "continually espouse" nothing - you, on the other hand, are becoming tedious with your incessant insistence on psychoanalyzing your fellow posters....
I love to read your posts. It reconfirms my assertions that liberals are a force that opposes everything good and decent in the US.
Sadly, you do not realize that your liberal "core beliefs" were dictated through the Frankfurt School (via Stalin) to the US in order to destablize the west. The mission was to disrupt the family, the church, and the middle class to make the west more "fertile" for socialism/communism. Most liberal policy has been designed to destroy these "impediments". Witness embracing the drug culture, gay marriage, welfare, single parent families, attacks on the church, celebrating Islam, the women's movement, NAFTA and China most favored nation trade status, opposing national right to work acts. You see, liberalism is just TOTALITARIANISM with a different "wrapper" that is designed to convince liberals they are actually "moral" and on the side of good in the world. Quite the opposite is true. The term "useful idiots" has been used by our enemies to describe the left in the US. Perhaps the left should take inventory of why our enemies would find the left so useful to them.
I have my core beliefs based in Jefferson.
You have your core beliefs based in Stalin.
Did you recently read this cute theory on some blog somewhere?
Sounds like you've been itching to learn us all something new!

ROTFLMAO! Seriously? I haven't seen such a load of horse crap since polo season! Was the star spangled banner playing in the background when you typed that up oh defender of the Jeffersonian way? LOLOLOL!
For pocketing the whopping $10?? Well, if you think this is "fraud" well, I guess I am applauding it. Everyone else bends the rules (unless you are on Wall Street or in the Government in which you break the rules), why not them?
I don't "think" it's fraud - it is fraud. Fraudulently stealing 10 dollars is still stealing 10 bucks. Is it the amount you steal that determines whether the stealing is moral/acceptable/correct or not? Do I have a free-pass to take 10 bucks from you wallet should we ever be nearby?
the lunch that a soldier purchased at Baltimore airport last week. There were about 15-20 people inline ahead of me at Subway at BWI. When I got online, this young soldier was number four inline. Not one person acknowledged him, thanked him, or even offered to buy him lunch. As he was reaching into his pocket to pay I walked over to the register and said "Thanks man, this ones on me". These kids are leaving home for months at a time, many may not even come home. Take care of those that take care of us. Please acknowledge the men and women who serve America. If you can't afford to treat them to a lunch, a simple smile or thank you will make them feel good.
I tip my hat to you. A quick read of the responses here gives a clear picture of just a small part of what is wrong with this country...it's not the government, it's the people.
I actually did buy some Giants fans a beer at the Metrodome in 2009 when the Vikes beat them like 44-10 or something like that. I felt bad for them, they had all their gear on and were really cool. So I bought them a beer.
