[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]But you could say the same about coal miners and welders. I am also grateful for garbage collectors and septic tank cleaners.[/quote]

Actually, I am grateful. But more importantly, I would never be purposely hurtful. That's the issue I have with the people referring to  our service members as idiots. You certainly don't have to express gratitude or admiration. However, name calling and insults just seems so very wrong, especially when it caused so much pain.[/quote]

Well, if it doesn't apply to your sons, move along. Seriously, you need to grow a thicker skin. But the tide is turning around here. This notion that we have to blindly fall down on our knees and thank the troops, and if we don't we're not patriotic, is BS. Look at this board in general. Do you see how many professions are called idiots here on a daily basis?? Try lawyers for one, journalists recently, I could go on and on. No one is immune, but it's purposefully hurtful and pain inducing when someone suggests that the military isn't all that. That's why it bugs me so much. You act like they're above it simply because they're in the military. You're proving the point. [/quote]
