Cruznolfart Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm anti-war. What does that make me? Intelligent if you're given a choice. A servant if you're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 With respect' date=' this sounds all clever and peaceful and downright butt-wiggly in concept. There was even a time when I'd have thought myself particularly clever for repeating it. But it just ain't true. In fact it's BS. If you can read and write, thank a teacher. If you read and write in English, thank a Vet. [img']http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/oo39/Cruznolfart/Second%20Amendment/IMG_0755.jpg[/img] That's my Dad on his 24th birthday, fighting for peace. Well, at the moment his combat was temporarily suspended while he was a guest of the German military in Oflag 64, Schuben, Poland. The Class A uniform and tie were passed from POW to POW so they'd all look well groomed and healthy. He was an Infantry officer. Eleven Bravo! He spent the next 36 years in the service of his country. His Father served, my brother and I have served (Eleven Bravo!), both my Sons served, one is still active duty after 10 years, 2 Iraq tours and 3 to Afghanistan...fighting for peace. "The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." Samuel Adams Just a slightly different take on the relationship between sex and peace. There isn't one liberty you enjoy that wasn't paid for in blood. Just be grateful and work for a better world. Trust me, if someone decides to deprive you and yours of your liberties and peace, your choice will be to fight or roll over. I'll fight...again if I have to. +100000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
