I was in the Army. I hated getting any extra attention becasue of it. I personally feel that being in the service is jsut that...a service and you should serve out your time humbily and not require extra attention for what you do. Trust me ive seen plenty of D bags try and play the soldier card. I agree, I was on the streets of Iraq and I was not fighitng for anyones freedom back here in Ameica. If we were however attacked by a conventional force like Russia or China hypothtically then those individuals would be then defending our freedom. This is what I meant by standing for it.

I didn't mean anything by it. I've served and met plenty of people that honestly believed that's what they were there for. It was there life mission to serve the country and do it proudly. I'm cool with both kinds of people, honestly.
