Thank you to all those serving in the Armed Forces, and all those that gave all.
This is another holiday weekend. This should not be a political football. We can never repay the sacrifice made by so many. To those serving I thank you and your families. I hope you return to your family safe and sound. God bless you all.
Freedom is not free, it is paid in sacrifice and blood.

I do respect the soldiers 100%. It’s not a fun job. Unfortunately for the soldiers a lot of the war were not necessary for others than the warmongers with their own agendas. Unfortunately for the soldiers that are the ones just doing their jobs, they are the ones that pay the price for the others to cash in on.

In which way do you mean I have soiled the thread? In that I mention that I respect the soldiers to a 100% and that is is a shame they have spill their blood for the profit of others. I know the US has done much for the world, no denying that. But the wars of late has more to do with big biz. Without the wars of the last 30yrs in the Middle East, the Middle East would still be a shithole but thousands and thousands of soldiers would still be alive, and tens of thousands would not have lost their sons, daughter, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters. You need to take a pill and chill. |

Re: Thank you to all those serving in the Armed Forces, and all those that gave all.
SubSub….Im a vet with 23 years of service.
I never once during that service thought about "big biz or warmongers". Service members do not think about things such as that. We do what we are told and to the best of our abilities....we take care of each other and that's what is important to us. We are not politicians, we don't have time to think about big biz or the reason behind a war. Our focus is doing our jobs and looking out for the troops under our leadership. We serve for people we don't know, we serve for people we don't agree with. We serve for the better good of our country. We serve for people with your opinion and for everybody else's here on the board. And if the calling came for us to serve again, most of would gladly do it all over again. Its who we are, its in our heart. On Memorial day its customary to remember those people who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that others may live without the whys. Please remember those people and forget about everything else. |

Well put 2fishin2. I respect that and meant nothing bad at all with my initial comment. It was sincere and I feel for all soldiers that paid the ultimate price and their close ones. |

Do NOT make this thread a political foot ball. The fallen need to be remembered and honored.

Re: Thank you to all those serving in the Armed Forces, and all those that gave all.
This is a thread to those who have served and given their lives in defense of freedom for the United Stated of America. Sometimes that overlaps to other countries but this is OUR remembrance and OUR holiday for it. Subsub stay home in Sweden, mind your own business and keep your mouth shut in matters that don't concern you. Better yet, go to that other forum that is 99% dedicated to Europeans.

Re: Thank you to all those serving in the Armed Forces, and all those that gave all.
Just pack your stuff in a bag and use it for fertilizer in your own garden, not ours. If you didn't realize that your comments were offensive and out of line you weren't raised with the right manners or decorum or worse you're ignorant. Re-reading it appears you are being deliberately malicious. Go where you want just use the scooper to clean up after yourself. Freedom doesn't just mean one can't go where they want, say what they want and not take responsibility for deliberately being rude. You crossed a line that was explicitly requested to be left alone. Sure there is the freedom to do so but there is also the freedom to call you out for being a troll and interloper. Maybe you get off on creating mayhem.

I’ll be in your neck of the woods late October so maybe we can get together and have lunch and a nice chat. My schedule will be pretty much open.

Moose, world traveler, eclectic man? Who would've thunk? I hope you'll represent with the banana hammock. Let them Swedes know us Yanks are crazy like that. We're not to be toyed with. We'll take to the next level. Be sure to bring your free diving gun that you can't cock.
