DJ,

Good luck and best wishes. Just don't pass up opportunities to further your education including through the service. ;)

BTW it was a good post. Sad to say the reporting is so blatantly biased towards the sensational in the regular media.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

I can only disagree with mentioning Stalin and Mao.

And I'll definetly not boast this in your place:

When Afghanistan was overrun by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country.

And this is not true:

The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed.

Please check the current visa rules. Maybe only the Statue of Liberty welcomes this people, but definetly not American government :(

Sorry for interfering. I hate to see Americans killed, as I hate to see Russians, Bulgarians, Ukrainians, Italians, Spanish, Polish, Iraqi, Afghani or anyone. !

The message is definitely good, just not credited accurately.

side note about my father:

When I was a kid he made me and my brother sit down and watch the movie "red dawn" with him.  Its funny because he viewed it as an educational rather than entertainment.  "watch this closly boy....you never know what them commies may try"

Thank you.

Do you really think that Stalin and Mao deliberately KiLlEd Americans?

Do you think that "helping" Islamic terrorists including mr. Usama against legitimate government of Afghanistan was right? Do you think that Soviet military assistance to Afghani government was bloody worse then your unprovoked agressions in Yugoslavia and Iraq? Should I add some words about Vietnam to this glorious declarations of American achievements?

Do you really believe that your country still welcomes immigrants, including refugees, like other countries, Russia being a good example?

Mratlet, you provoked me, thanks. I hate to see anyone killed, but being AmEriCaN doesn't make you special. I do believe that one American killed in WTC is equal to a Russian killed by Chechen "freedom fighters" in Moscow apartment explosions or a Vietnamese killed by stratospheric bombings in Hanoi.

What I hate is stupid propaganda that includes some truth and some lies. Not for me please. I was fed by this in Soviet times.

This must be some sort of untranslatable American folklore, but, according to a good old Soviet tradition I'll prefer to call it a provocation ;)
