Yep.

Jesse's does make a point though. Does the military fight for our freedom? Having a military in itself ensures our freedom but when was the last time we utilized it to fight an actual treat to our freedom? 911? ISIS? Veitnam?

1812.

1812... anyone has anything sooner? 

[Wrecktangle]

1945?

You can't really fight for freedom unless the force you're fighting against I trying to remove it.  The Nazis and Japan weren't really in a position to remove Americas freedom.  The merits of Korea, Vietnam, and the various Middle East invasions are really neither here nor there.

Those who sign up deserve a certain level of respect simply for putting themselves in harms way.  They don't get to pick and choose where and whom they fight.

However this whole "They're fighting for your freedom" is jingoistic wank.

5 year old girl killed in drive by shooting, where is the outrage for this America? or is that just reserved for the cops.

It became lost in the shuffle

I have no words for this. It's a tragedy and I hope they catch the responsible f**kers.

Scientists documenting wildlife in the sub-Antarctic are shocked after witnessing multiple incidents in which fur seals sexually harassed penguins.

I think Korea was definitely a war over freedom considering they spent the last century a Japanese/Chinese puppet colony and then got broken up into two seperate states by the USA/Soviet Union/China.

[SM]

Yeah but Americans weren't fighting for the freedom of other Americans.

[SpaceMarines]

South Korea warn't exactly a free and democratic society until the '80s, either.

It seems people are still taking about Matt Taylor and #ShirtGate. All this over a f**king t-shirt; unbelievable. Talk about faux outrage.
