    I would just more aptly say, no one in life deserves automatic respect simply for something you don't earn or work for (towards). There's good and bad in everything in life.

    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    Fuck me...I jinxed the damn thread. The point here is honoring those who deserve to be honored, who sacrifice where the rest of us don't or won't. I'm well aware that there are bad apples in every walk of life including the military, but that's should not discourage us from supporting and showing our gratitude for the vast majority of honest and caring men and women serving this country.

    Ok, so seriously I appreciate you understanding my point but let's PLEASE not bog down a well intentioned thread with a political debate (or whatever you prefer to call it, let's do that in a seperate thread.)

    and also all above I agree

    I also want to thank the vets families, their husbands and wives, the children and the parents.
    I thankyou for your sacrifice you endured ( and endure) whilst your heroes serve. I know the cost.
    The vets both returned , lost and still serving .
    thank you from the bottom of my heart


    at times I do argue against some of the decisions made by your masters but its never against you. NEVER
