I'm sick and tired of this patriotic, nationalistic and fascist crap. I stood through a memorial service today for a young Marine that was killed in Iraq back in April. During this memorial a number of people spoke about the guy and about his sacrifice for the country. How do you justify 'sacrificing' your life for a war which is not only illegal, but is being prosecuted to the extent where the only thing keeping us there is one man's power, and his ego. A recent Marine Corps intelligence report that was leaked said that the war in the al-Anbar province is unwinnable. It said that there was nothing we could do to win the hearts and minds, or the military operations in that area. So I wonder, why are we still there? Democracy is not forced upon people at gunpoint. It's the result of forward thinking individuals who take the initiative and risks to give their fellow countrymen a better way of life....

That is your opinion and you claim to have fought for the right to say so. However, I do not agree with you because I would rather live in the US and vote with a voice. The marine you honored today would have told you that he died for his country and was proud to serve under his commander-in-chief.
You called him a "guy" which makes me wonder whether you were really a soldier or you are full of the "crap". He was a brave soldier, not just a guy whose memorial that you stood through.

nice cut and paste. This is a statement not a question! Have you ever been to a VA hospital? I would suggest you go and talk to some of the men that have been to Iraq and their thoughts on people like yourself!

Somehow, I don't think this rant was written by a US Marine. Can you prove that it was?

One man's opinion.
The key word here is "opinion."
