[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am married to a warrior.  If you aren't one or don't love one, you will never understand.  You are sheep!  They are shepherds.  Then there is the wolf!  I don't want the wolf in my woods.  I thank God for the shepherds.  You should too!  If it were not for them, we would have beheadings right here in the good ol USA!  If it were not for them, you would not be able to voice your very ignorant opinion on this forum. BAAAAA [/quote]

A warrior?  Give me a break.[/quote]

I agree. Liberals hate that they are dependent .  Bringing it up hits a nerve of cowardice.[/quote]

warriors "give you a break" daily.  You are a jerk.   And utterly clueless!

The men and women in our.military who are trained to defend, fight, kill are warriors. How would u have it be?[/quote]

These warriors are still public servants.  We should respect and appreciate them, but they are not the shepherds.  We the people run the country.  Whenever a country puts its military on a pedestal, bad things happen.

Now I know that the fear mongers would like to say that the wolf is at our door.  They have been saying it for generations.  Every new threat is, we are told, more menacing than the last.  But we are a large country, geographically isolated from most of the world by two oceans.  Some bad things can happen to us, but the only existential threat I see is from within.  If we give up our principles, we are no better than other nations.  Abu Ghraib, waterboarding, soldiers hunting noncombatants for sport, shooting children in their sleep -- these things happened and they steal our good name.  I do not blame all of the military for that, but it is nonetheless true that we were once perceived as a country that stood up for human rights, and now that message is questioned.

When Roosevelt said "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself", he said it amid a crisis of epic proportions, where millions upon millions of Americans were struggling to get enough food to eat.  And now because some Jihadis can shoot up an office, now we are facing a threat greater than the Depression?  We need perspective.[/quote]
