This is something I've thought about for quite sometime. Im sure many people will be "outraged" by me saying this, but isn't the whole saying "our soldiers are fighting/dying for our freedom" not really an accurate sentiment? I mean, come on, Iraq, Nam, Korea? None of these wars were fought for our "freedom".
Furthermore, it's been decades since we really fought for our freedom. I think WWII might have been the last time that we truly fought for our freedom.
And before WWII i can only think of two other wars, the Revolution (American) and the war of 1812.
I guess it's just a feel good sentiment. Am I way off base? What say you?
Blocking the spread of communism, tyranny, genocide.....not turning a blind eye to slaughtered innocents.....
Sounds like fighting freedom to me
(you're welcome)
per op
that may not have been their initial intent but in fact that is what happened.
takes guts to be a soldier or a cop, they got it.
you know i have noticed the names of the soldiers now-- its lopez, rodriguez and gomez. used to be smith, jones and johnson. did our courage go south?
