I'm asking you, what duty have you done in military for this country. That's all I'm asking. "We do our duty". Who is we ? What is your orders and duty ? My view is not either elite or special. I, we did what we believed in, America. It wasn't Right or Left. It was the person on your Right or Left. Knowing when the shit came down, they had your six. Your last statement, "We do our duty". Who is we ? What is your duty ? Is wah-wah your war cry ? So much just thrown out. Still waiting for you to give me the reading materials so I can become the total asshole you are.

I may have already replied to this post later on, but something struck me now. Millions have never served in the military. That service is deeply appreciated. Yet it does not give those who have served a Greater Voice. I was drafted on 12/1/66, having volunteered for that draft out of a college deferment. Not out of patriotism but faith: I wanted to go to Vietnam and refuse to fire my weapon. Very Catholic back then. War, to me at nineteen, was murder, breaking the Commandments. I did very well on tests score to get me out of infantry but refused. I was put in OCS. I did well at Fort Benning but in my 17th week, I punched my platoon Lieutenant, a racist pig that insulted my roomie John Taylor. (And he never liked me, being a Yank.) That they let me resign and be a PFC told me they were scared; I regret not pursuing it further.
Almost two months in a Casual Company before assignment to Vietnam. Utterly unheard of, from what I learned. I was already short. They had it in for me. Got to Nam 2/7/68, my twenty-first birthday. Less than ten months left. Met that first day a good friend from OCS, and someone I also knew from New York. He got me re-assigned as a crypto-clerk. My ambition to defy military protocol and refuse to fight was totally defused. I lived in safety and comfort for another six months, before being shipped home by the Red Cross. Not really a combat vet. Do not have your experiences. Have felt less than since. I commend you, and again thank you for your service.

You want serious debates and others to use supporting facts in their replies and yet you start off with an insult to the National Guard!
In other words, “Do as I say, NOT as I do!” Perhaps you should practice some of that LOVE you so often preach about???

Like you, I have a sub-conscious. That is in all likelihood the violinist.

But then all people aren’t equipped with good ol’ common sense! Huh Rumi!
Name the countries that built walls to protect their nation?

Coming out of the jungle, yes.

Nice and false rendering. The Alamo was under siege for ten days, the actual battle for the Alamo lasted a little more than 8 minutes. There were 246 combatants, including women and children who stayed behind under a Red Flag of "no mercy."
Texacan, please not: "some posting here are absolutely right, a wall does not work. Oh, yes, it may discourage some from entering illegally, but the greatest wall ever built was the great wall of China. You couldn't get over it, y

Egads. The battle did not last 13 days; that was the siege. Eight freaking minutes to total annihilation once the battle began. But the delay by Santa Ana to execute the attack, gave the Texicans a chance to mount a successful campaign.

Er, I am a vet.
I see you are still having problems with remembering what you and others discussed the day before!
We have discussed you being a vet, as yourself and 5 of your other personalities. Several times actually!
My doctor told me to take vitamin D to help with my short-time memory!
I thanked you for your service yesterday at 20:43 on this very thread.

Dear Ms. Troll, again, when you have something substantive to add to the topic instead of your non-stop, obsessive attacks on me, I will gladly engage.
