Ask the 2,942 dead military in Iraq or 58,229 in Vietnam! All it got them is an American public that could care less (as evidenced by Widows pensions being cut in 1/2 to $13,000 and 8 Billion in budget cuts for VA Hospitals and the real topper, tax cuts for the rich) and a president who is trying to strip the constitution of the 4th amendment who is incompetent, immoral and a liar as well!

Agreed. That's the reason why one thing our founding fathers included in our government was Checks and Balances, so that people wouldn't be following blindly. What happened?

True, you must always take everything people say, including your leaders, with a grain of salt. Live your own life, and listen to advice, but ultimately you must make your own decisions.

Absolutely...WE'RE suppose to be keeping THEM in line. ( How many of you vote? ) . How are we suppose to expect 'vision' from our leaders, who themselves are half-blind from poking eachother with sticks?
