I find your remarks to be extremely offensive and highly prejudicial. You don't DESERVE the efforts of those soldiers ..... but then, I'm not surprised since you're Canadian. You have lived under the security umbrella provided by the United States for the last 150 years, so I'm sure you don't know what it means to put your ass on the line for others.

Don't bother to thank us -- it's not intentional.

Don't tell me you cant see the differance between a DMV worker, and a soldier. The military deserves our respect because of the dangerous situations they VOLUNTEER to put themselves in to keep us safe.

"There's an armed, suspicious looking group sneaking around Kurdistan! Send Harry Reid to investigate! Never gonna happen. That's the differance between our government military, and every other government employee. That and most govt employees make dicisions that cost us money. Soldiers make dicisions that preserve our lives.

Yeah, spit on the polticians. They're old and can't easily defend themselves. Besides, no one gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) about politicians anyway.

LJ, the military isn't civil service.

This is just another version of their "some people say" nonsense Fox loves to use. Dig up a few idiots somewhere and then let the talking heads go on and on with their rightous anger about the evil Liberals, Libertarians, Mexicans, atheists or whoever they are attacking that day.

The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars.

You're absolutely right. It's not pleasant to watch when you yourself would never do it on your worst most PMS filled day... but you are right! God Bless them all.
