I'm posting this in the Canada section, as it seems a lot of hostility and resentment for our military actions is coming from here.
I made a previous reference to our soldiers as "hero's". I think I was told in similar terms that they were murderers.
Our soldiers enlisted in their respective units for one reason and one reason only, to defend our Country and all of it's citizens freedom. You can condemn our government until you are blue in the face, but our soldiers are simply following orders. We have some of the most educated soldiers on the planet. We have some of the most advanced technology. We have perhaps one of the largest military. We get involved where people think we shouldn't. We assist countries that no other country will. We stand up not only for the rights of America, but for everyone in the world. But, whether you believe this to be true or not, it doesn't change the fact that these soldiers will offer their lives for those given the ability to sit here and have the right to argue about it. They offer their lives to assist people in countries where they are disrespected. They are willing to die for all of us. That is a hero in my opinion.
I was driven to write this post after listening to a song that janeeng emailed to me. Following is the lyrics to that song, and here is the song for your listening pleasure.
A soldiers heart
All hope was gone
Hard to hang on
Hard to be strong
Was blind, could not see
Nothing but walls in front of me and inside no peace
And the mountains seemed impossible to climb until...
[Chorus]
You stood on the front lines
You led the way, out of the darkness
We didn't go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart
Oceans so deep
Uphill so steep
But still we believe
And when the road was too far to travel
Heros you came and carried us there
And the mountains seemed impossible to climb until...
[Chorus]
And so our flag was still there
All because you decided to care
[Chorus x2]
You stood on the front lines
You led the way, out of the darkness
You could have let us go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart
And that takes a soldier's heart

as far as the bashing goes between countries, its like 2 siblings, they pick on each other, i laugh at most of the posts. i think thats the one thing that keeps the countries so close, what do you think would happen if the pakistan govt called the india govt a moron?
