They are NOt "defending our freedoms". The purposes of Our military have been twisted. OUr people & our treasures have been put to tasks NOT in the benefit of the people. And, thru the constant lies , the people have accepted it as good.
When was the last time you heard anyone in a position of power refer to our nation as a REpublic & not as a democracy?
They KNOW the difference, but theyre reinforcing the notion we live in a democracy, know the difference & wake up to the lies.
I served, I was discharged honorably. But, I know what a hero is & what one isnt, & folks, our military is being used like hired thugs, to accomplish things NOT in your best interest, or MY best interestm but what is good for corporate interests.
Support the troops! Bring them HOme,,,NOW..
At this very moment in time I regret to say that I agree fully with JOG
The American Soldier along with his British counterpart are the best fighters in the world,it's a shame that they now fight for other country's
As Justin says ,"like hit men for the government" it's a disgrace.
Bring them all home NOW.
