No U.S. soldier has protected American freedom since the War of 1812.

Two oceans, along with 300 million guns in the hands of 100 million gun owners, has done more to protect American freedom than 200 years of the U.S. military.

Vietnam showed America was willing to fight communism far and wide. That’s called “deterrence.”

Furthermore America’s victory in the Korean War justified such actions in Vietnam at the time. It sucks that Vietnam was a lost cause but the statement was clear that America wasn’t going to allows countries to just roll over to communism

I did and had NO problem with it.

I would read my longer post to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

55,000 Americans were sacrificed at the altar of the MIC for no reason other than to boost the egos of politicians.

There was no American "victory" in Korea because 1.) There was no declared war, 2.) The U.S. never declared victory, and 3.) It was never the U.S.'s fight. 50,000+ Americans died to satiate Truman's bloodthirst.

Communism, like all collectivism, is an inherently failed ideology and would have failed on its own with or without the help of the U.S.

Real respect is serving your country. Something Captain Bones Spurs knows nothing about.

Why not respect yourself first and foremost? Why pledge submission to the State?

"here threatening armed rebellion"


We lived through clinton and Obama WITHOUT an "armed rebellion" I think we could have lived through hillary without one


It's funny that the LEFT wing posters who ALWAYS try to move the goal posts because they CAN'T discuss the issue at hand.


"I fully support their ight to protest during the anthem"


And YOU have that right and I have the RIGHT to disagree with you.


The point is the NFL made a decision which THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO!

Real respect is non-aggression, property rights, and creating wealth--not serving the State.
