Some things folks ought to know, but apparently don't

Every military service member knows they may be called to war, if they were confused about that when they joined, they'll have their thinking corrected in short order. Every one of them knows they may be sent into harms way as well............but NONE of them join the services in order to get killed. They know they may die, that their odds of dying greatly increase when in hostile territory, but they do NOT accept that death is inevitable, or look forward to it.............they do what they are told to do, with the expectation that they will survive. The statement, made by ANYONE " well, they knew what they signed up for " is wrong headed, pigheaded and makes a mockery of the sacrifice some of our folks in uniform make for their country. Yes, they DID know that death is a possibility - but that IS NOT what they signed up for.
The people born in US territories are US citizens, with the same rights and privileges as any citizen born in the 50 States. They even have representatives in the Congress, pay US taxes - and don't need a green card to work anywhere any other citizen may work. A US citizen is the same, no matter where they were born within her jurisdiction.
The US Constitution stipulates that the authority under which Government operates, is derived from the people, and ONLY the people, ALL of the people. Not the States, as many seem to believe, but the people as a whole. States with larger populations have no more authority than does a State with few people living in it - because the people's authority is the same. There IS NO Constitutional mandate for partisan governance, the majority rule is NOT in that document, which stipulates that a representative government represent ALL citizens equally, regardless of party or ideological attachments. This makes "bipartisan" anything, a ridiculous concept, since parties have no authority to govern, even if they happen to have a majority number of seats in legislatures or the Congress. Every single citizen has as much authority as any other citizen, to have a say in his/her government - because the Constitution says so.

Men go to war and men die. He "did" know what he signed up for and he did it anyway because he loved this country! That takes strength, integrity, and patriotism.
