I'm a veteran, though I never saw combat (navy), I appreciate the thanks I get when people findout I was in the Navy, I always try and show appreciation to other vets, especially those who have seen the elephant.

However, having said that, if I knew when I was 17 what I know now I would have never joined the military. Now, I urge younge people to not do it.

I am very sad most days when I look at the state of things in the US, the Constitution, which I swore to defend is ignored on all levels of government. There is NO freedom anymore, only the appearance of it. The truly sad part is most of you don't care, you're just mind numbed robots, who are perfectly willing to live as slaves as long as your cable TV works.

I joined the Navy, to defend the constitution, but I realised after about a year of service that the enemies to the Constitution are ALL domestic. No Russian comisar ever told me I couldn't carry a firearm, No Chicom ever stopped me from holding church gatherings in my house. No viet cong searched me along side the road rifling through my cab because I happen to haul frieght. I was never forced by the Red Brigade to spend money on worthless carbonmonxide detector, even though my house has a raisedd foundation, electric heat. No foeighn invader ever wrote me a 189 dollar ticket for smoking a cigar on theboardwalk.

Anyway Patriotism truly is the last refuge of the scoundrel, Hitler was a patriot, he spit on the Weimar Constitution just like every US president has since Wilson, (except Coolidge).

The people deserve th Government they get, and friends we all deserve what's coming. It ain't gonna be pretty.

EasyTrader,

America has great qualities, the best one, you don't have to have papers to go from state to state just to go for a vacation etc. It is not perfect, but what is? If your upset living in America, Mexico City is challenging, North Korea has opportunity for improvement, and Iran is a good spot expediting guns and rockets( good money there). Ha mas folks are nice too, I think they have a Thanksgiving Day Parade there too. Well those are just a few places that disgruntled folks can live and I here the hospitals are good also. Hmm, wonder why so many travel to American Hospitals to get well, must be a rumor IMHO> Skyraider, USN, 66-70, CVA64, I was younger once.

This country will get fixed, it will not be pretty, but it will happen. Those of us who took that oath will lead it. We were not spectators then nor are we now.

The external threats to this Nation were very real when I was in and are very real today. Many of the domestic threats that we face are a direct result of actions that were taken and are being taken, by those external threats.

No, Russian stopped me from carrying my gun but many taught Uour schools and colleges planting the ideas that lead to what we have today.

Unites States Army Security Agency, 1970-7
United States National Security Agency 1976-1994

One of the "good guys" and in your face proud of it!

Lol,
You guys completely missed the point. What difference does it make that Joe McCarthy and NIxon were right about the Comunist plot from Russia, when most Americans are communist in all but name now.

Live in the present with an eye to the future. Everyone I know and I know a lot of people, are socialists at best, (except self labeled libertarians). Its too late, half of you morons are gonna vote for Obama who is a self describbed marxist.

Anyway this is why I quit participating in these boards as much as I used too, its too frustrating.

Here's a research quiz for you, answer these two questions about the origens of the cold war;

1. What year did the Russians invade the US and occupy one of our cities?

2. What years did the US invade Russia and capture a city and several villages, and occupy the teritory for several years?



Most of you should know the answer to 1, off the top of your heads. Most of you think you know the answer to 2, but your wrong go look it up. You'll be surprised about the American History you never learned.

Who is Smedly Butler?

 

[AMonger]

a highly decorated marine who rose through the ranks to become a general. he is famous for concluding, after all his military service, that " war is a racket" and that soldiers are being used and shedding their blood for nothing but big business.

 

[RLENT]

Who is Smedly Butler?

.... one of 19 men to twice receive the Medal of Honor, one of three to be awarded both the Marine Corps Brevet Medal and the Medal of Honor, and the only man to be awarded the Brevet Medal and two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.

"War is a Rackett" is availble for free on kindle books. Read what a real hero has to say about the governemnt he served.

And there are people in another thread who have no problem with drug checkpoints where all vehicles are subject to search without a warrant. Imagine that.

....the enemies to the Constitution are ALL domestic. ...No viet cong searched me along side the road rifling through my cab because I happen to haul frieght.

I'm still trying to figure out why people view that as an exception. I don't find anything in the constitution that suggests that the Bill of Rights doesn't apply to truck drivers.

You know, one of these days, the gummint is going to get around to ®#*¡¡©@! around with the rights those people find important, if there are any, but it will be too late to do anything about it then.

Could've voted for Ron Paul...

I make it a point to thank soldiers whenever I see them. They can't be recognized and thanked too much.

 

[layoutshooter]

Yep, this is ALL the fault of the United States.

WE caused the Soviets to close off Eastern Germany and Europe

berlin airlift - Google Search

This too is a result of the CIA and the 'Intelligence Community"

Gulag: Soviet Forced Labor Camps and the Struggle for Freedom

I guess doctor Dooley was liar too.

 

[layoutshooter]

Of course it is the CIA's fault that Stalin KILLED in excess of 20 Million.

How many did the CIA or the "inteligence community " cause Mau to kill?

Yep it is 100% OUR fault.


"Sit on it" comes to mind. OR, "Up your nose, with a rubber hose." OR "In your ear with a can of beer."

Layout, I'm not a communist far from it. You seem to think it is the responsibility of the US to run around the world and save people from their 'Bad' governemnt choices. I disagree, with that position and furthermore my position of avoiding foriegn entanglments was the primary view of the foundin generation. So that would make my view more "traditionally" American than yours.

It is a FACT of history that the US Army invaded Russia, siezed Vladivastock and the siberia oil fields during WW1, I doubt you had ever heard of that, look it up.

It is also a FACT of history that no Russian army ever siezed an American city.

Incidenly the Siberia expedition also turned mutinous when the soldiers realised they were being used against basically poor peasants and refused to follow further orders to attack. Its a fascinating piece of history our Government hopes we don't know.

WAR IS A RACKETT!

While you're worrying about the commies in Russia or the Veit Cong sitting in a grass hut thousands of miles away from us your commie next store nieghbor is voting demoncrats into office or worse rhinos and the whole gang are socialist at best, certainly all fascist.

The only two candidates in the Presidential race who have even read the Constitution are Ron Paul, and Gary Johnson, but they're kooks.

I used to be all gung ho johny america, like you, but WACO opened my eyes to how evil governemnt is, and the more I learn the worse it looks.

In the last 100 years this country has seen 1 constituional President, Calvin Coolidge. 2 decent presidents Eisenhower and Reagan.

You think I'? A kook because I think the US governemnt is wack, so did Gen. Patton, (who was killed for his threat to run for president and clean house) Smedly Butler, whose book is still in print, and Eisenhower, whose final address to the nation containd the criptic line "Beware the military industrial complex"

Incidently, the proper description for the US political system since FDR is Democratic Fascism. Fascist governemnts combine the power of the governemnt with the money of "big bussiness" to keep the masses in line.

If you look at the current regulatory sceme in the US it is all designed to support giant bussinesses at the expense of the small bussiness. I don't have to out compete you if I have governemnt connections I can out legislate you.

Ayn Rand was very Prophetic with "Atlas Shrugged" of course she lived through the ultra fascist FDR years.
