My 1st week on this site. At 1st I had an intelligent exchange of information, respectful debate between people of different views. What I want to hear, could change my mind or not.
"Everything we say & do is a direct result of your own personal ethics."
I keep saying that (above) in the hope it will sink-in to a few people. Not one of us knows everything. Not one of us has the perfect point of view.
I despise lies. I have a tolerance for people who get caught-up in rhetoric but despise those who are closed-minds who believe lies. Once a person, even media network, lies to me it is difficult if not impossible for me to believe, trust, them again.
Why are there so many elected politicians in D.C. who are liars, career politicians? Because being lied-to is acceptable conduct to whoever voted for that person. THAT is the impact you make! Don't vote for a liar and you won't have those liars in elected career politician jobs deciding YOUR life.
I am just as ready to defend my loved ones with whatever means necessary. I have much respect for the SGM being in the military overseas in Nam myself. The SGM will understand me somewhat as I understand him. (same generation) How willing are other people to shoot Americans (meaning U.S. people citizens)?
Have you noticed SGM how many people write such violent threats who were never involved in what we were? (real military combat)
I sure could use some help with the "Ethics" issue. Spread the word.

Roadster, I have noticed - it's amazing the people here who make threats who have never been in combat or experienced the sheer terror one feels the first time he or she is shot at "in country" and realizes the person who pulled the trigger doesn't know you but very much wants you dead. As times goes on you will determine who the real combat veterans are on OPP and how much they love our country. As for shooting Americans - I absolutely will, if they threaten me or the people I love. I suspect you feel the same.
Welcome home my brother, and welcome to OPP. You will soon be able to discern who is real and who isn't. Stick around and have fun, we get a little roudy but seldom fight.

I didn't serve in our military, so therefore I never saw combat. However, I do know what it's like to get shot at, I've been stabbed, beaten half to death and in more bar room brawls than one can shake a stick at. Granted, those were my younger days. These days I have a .40 cal on me from the time I get up til I go to bed and I'm pretty proficient with it as well. If someone tries to take my life, or worse yet the life of my wife, my three girls, six grand kids and one great grand son, I think one would find out just how damn mean I can get. I'm not trying to sound like Rambo, or trying to start a pissing match on a forum. I just want you veterans to know that there are some of us civilians out here that will walk side by side with you. I owe my "FREEDOM" to you guys and by God, I want you to know it. In liberty my friends.

Dang, clicked over to page two, and wow, you gentlemen warriors of our Country, are absolutely amazing!!

Yesterday's pride in the inauguration of our new President was simply overwhelming until reading all of everyone's comment here..

All of you give great reason to pause and see the beauty of loyalty to this Fantastic Nation!! When it gets hard to love, let's love harder...She deserves it!!

I, too, will stand with each and every one of you..I can shoot, do have my own weapons and if ever needed, with you!!

Thank You all..You sure make me proud!!
