If you were a combat vet and intimately knew of war's often senseless horrors, cruelty, and injustice, you should be willing to lay down your life for peace. Peace is what you need to do, not kill. Not enough blood yet or innocent's slain? Really? Ready to do it again? On fellow Americans? Hard to imagine a worse piece of shit who thinks that way.
You mean a piece of shit like this guy?
"If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
Samuel Adams (1722-1803)
"Father of the American Revolution."
Mr. Adams said those words during a speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776. Just 4 days before the declaration of Independence was signed and issued. The Englishmen who rebelled in the American colonies at the time had been at war with the mightiest military force on Earth for over a year, yet were not cowed.
You think you know something of the horrors of war? Wait 'til it's right on your own doorstep, then tell me of the horrors of war. Better to tkae the fight to the enemy, before he has the opportunity to bring it to you.
