Are you tryng to say that if someone didn't serve in the military we have no right to an opinion? Or just that our opinion carries less weight?styxx wrote:I cannot help but to wonder how many of the saber rattlers on this thread have actually worn the uniform during times of conflict. I hear and listen far more closely to the thoughts of folks like irpettit and suthdj and E.Marques than any of the sabre rattlers.
Every American citizen has a right to their opinion on this, and many other, subjects. And while we may not have "worn the uniform", that does not make us any less patriotic or willing to stand up for our rights. I "served" 21 years as an Air Force brat. I grew up with the military mindset that I learned at my father's feet. I am perfectly willing and able to stand and fight, and die if necessary, to preserve freedom & liberty for my children and the rest of our future generations.
BTW, the ONLY reason I didn't join the military is because my father talked me out of it. Well, actually he said he'd kill me if I did. He saw the changes in the military between the time when he joined and I became eligible and knew that it was headed south.
My son would be bringing more ammo as well as additional firearms.
