I am a Vietnam-Era vet, and yes, we gave up years of our youth so that our people and our country can stay free.

I would just say to be free....speak freely follows being free. How old a vet r u? In my family I go back to WWI, but have a dear friend that survived Nam for 2 tours as a medic... I am proud of our military because they are COMMANDED to do the impossible. I asked how old a vet because, well did you get drafted or sign up? I'd like to know.............

The way i feel about it, sometimes im glad i did what i did by doing eight years in the marines, but when i see trolls who want to bash others religion, call others racial slurs, stereotype others, and etc, it really makes me sick to think that i would defend such hateful, unappreciative jerks, but that's how it is, freedom of speech, and that includes for some of the very same people who like to bash our troops as well, sad, isn't it?

I have a lot of respect for you! I do not bad mouth my country or my president. I do not have to agree with the governments decision, I know that I don't have the facts that they have. I stand behind the military as what they are doing is for me and my family to maintain my rights as a citizen of my beloved country. I an an American and proud of my country. I will support my country and my military no matter what is going on because I am an American!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as well as i. for sure i dont agree with 80 % of them but i didnt kill viet cong so i could decide or censure what is or isnt right.
i do kinda feel wronged that people get to vote and they refuse to serve to defend others rights to decide also
