No wonder you didn't think there was anything worth fighting for when you were a teen. When I was that age I was having lots of fun. Chasing girls, drinking, listening to great music. I was too young to understand (or care) what a liberal or conservative, democrat or republican was then, but I figured I had it pretty good living in the country that I did and had enough respect for the freedom it afforded me that I understood and respected those who risked their lives to defend it.
