[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived at Ft. Bragg two tours. Apaches overhead, artillery downrange rockin' the pictures off your walls...

It's the sound of freedom, sweet and free. The people in those tanks and helicopters volunteered to do a dangerous job to protect America.

How that is threatening is beyond me.

You live in a bubble. I hope you understand that your views of military power is far removed from the average America walking down Main Street. While artillery down range may not bother you, and I can assure you it would rattle 95% of Americans if they heard it from their house. Same with tanks on Main Street. [/quote]

I know. You want people to do America's "dirty work" and be neither seen nor heard. You want to pretend the people who would die for you don't even exist. Aren't you a peach?[/quote]

As it turns out, my dad's retired army and my brother is retiring from the navy with 28 years served this year. I've also got lots of extended family including two other uncles with 20 years in. Even with these family ties I have extremely limited contact with the military. My family chose their jobs and they loved doing them, but it still doesn't mean I have to go out of my way to connect with the military community. They almost never discuss work with me.

And, you called it dirty work, not me[/quote]

What do you call it?[/quote]
