Do you seriously believe we would still be free had we not had a strong military the past 20 years? Whether they" did anything" or not.
OK in truth it has been thirty years. Ya Ollie, from the perspective of this free american, the military has been missdirected and used mainly for political gain and cover for the theft by multinational corporations of other countries natural resources.
Blowhards like Reagan were clamouring about the horrors of communism at the same time these behemouths were crumbling under thier own weight. Did you know that?
I understand that you have been indoctrinated continually on the virtue and fashion of waving and wearing the flag. But don't get your stars and stripes thong in a bunch. I do appreciate the need for a "ready" military. I even believe there could be a need for atomic weapons. ....Not because russians or chineeeze or viet nameeez are evil... and stupid....and ....not respectable... like you have been told over and over...but because thier leaders and our leaders are pompus ignorant assholes and being stupid...they very well could have for the worst of reasons put us in a position where we would have to use them as a means of last resort.
Freedom of speach?....you protected mine? Oh Please. I can protect my own shit thankyou. Our biggest threat from freedom isn't any foreign nation....it is the influence peddlers that sell off and have sold off america peice by peice until there is no manufacturing base to fight a real war which has always been about who could make the most bombs, planes and food for thier soldiers. If you don't underget that then you are over your head in this thread.
