Yes!! Refer to Revolutionary War. WWI & WWII.
We do not speak Japanese from Pearl Harbor Attack.
We do not speak German from Hitler & his invasions - he was not going to stop with Europe. Power hungry never stop.
The Constitution does not gibe us freedom, the military that protects it gives us the freedoms that the Constitution spells out. God bless our military.

The military that fought in the American Revolution fought for our freedom and it was important that they won that war. But I don't think it's right to say that the military is always fighting for our freedom. Right now our troops our not fighting for our freedom in Iraq. They are fighting for whatever grand scheme George Bush had for Iraq, whether it was democracy, WMD, oil or military bases. We would still be free if the Iraq War had never taken place and it is unfair to say that the troops our fighting for our freedom right now.

No we have freedom because of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The military is here to protect us and those freedoms.

In part, yes. Even today, most governments do not allow their citizens the same level of freedom that Americans enjoy. Without the U.S. military, we would have probably fallen under one of those tyrannical governments many years ago.

No, one can not obtain freedom through the actions of another. We are free only as long as we are personally willing to defend our freedom.

I think the US military is why we have freedom from the hostilities of other nations.

Actually, US freedom is largely an illusion.
We have close to the highest incarceration rate, per capita, on earth. Hardly free at all.

No, it's how we protect our freedom.

No... The evolution of civilization requires advances in perspective. For example... Without the Civil War do you think slavery would be here today?

No. It defends it, like the American Eagle protrays.
We will live in peace (Olive Branch)...
But we will fight to keep tranquility and that peace (Arrows)
