But it is everyones duty to protect our country, not just the few.

So obviously, you, do not comprehend.

Sorry Bill
Well Sorry Bill perhaps you will tell us just who these brave young (and some not so young) people are defending us from?

And just perhaps you can explain to we mere mortals why the suicide rate is so high among those having served in Iraq.

Maybe you can explain to the over 5000 families why there is an empty chair at the dining table because a group of men (and I use the word loosely) decided to send them off to a foreign land that was no threat to us.

No doubt you will have some glib answer that is about as meaningless as the rest of your posts.
