I saw this on a web site as I was surfing the net yesterday.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speach.

It is the soldier, not the campus organiser, who has given us freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag"

Father dennis E. O'bien : Chaplain U.S. 1st Marine Div.

Salute to soldiers, past , present, and future.

I've read this before and I didn't agree with it, soldiers just do what they're told . It was the voters and legislatures that gave us these things . Throughout history most soldiers have brought with them oppresion .

Former Soldier .

I wonder how many times in history "other" voters and lsegislatures, have tryed to take these things away from us?

We still have them because soldiers did do what they were told, many died to keep them for us.

I too am a former soldier. Did 6 and got out cause I don't do real well with some telling me what to do all the time:rolleyes:

regards,

Chris

If it wasnt for soldiers, we wouldnt have to fight these things.

If there are no people to fight for the psychos, there is no need to defend from the psychos.
