@ Gerry1
your not ranting your telling it how it is.
i liked you before but now i have the utmost respect for ya. Semper Fi... im not a jarhead (amry here) i Salute you.
i dont agree with us being in Iraq right now but you know as i do we are soldiers first, and we do what it takes to be the best soldier we can be. i also didnt like the way you guys were treated when you came home from nam, but it is starting to look like its getting to be the same way with our guys and gals now. you sure as hell didnt deserve it and they dont now either..
i got out in 1990 when we went over in iraq the first time. i knew alot of guys that are there now that was over there the first time and they say the way people look at them this time is like the dont belong to the US they are just bullies. im so tired of hearing other countries cry for our help when they want 300 billion dollars to feed there lazy ass's but when its time for the US to police the world they want to stab us in the back. screw'em.
now im sorry for ranting. and i did tell a certain Mod i wouldnt post here anymore, im sorry for going back on my word, but i had to in this instance. wont happen again.
in closeing i have 1 thing to say.
Im Proud to be an American... PERIOD!!!!
from Alaska to Florida it's the greats 50 states(country) there is. and no one can convince me or a couple million others that it isnt the best place to live.....
God Bless the USA......

BIGTOXY69, Oh man did you get my goat on this one, I dont like to argue much but you will hear this.
First of all you are mixing apples and oranges, nothing what you said made sense to my comment, you just didnt read it right, what I said is absolutly true, and please dont judge my intergrety or my patriotism to my fellow Americans, soldiers and to my Country.
This is something I dont gab about, but in this case I will, I spent 4 years in the U.S. Army Special Forces, and did two years in vietnam, I was drafted but took the extra two years to get S qualified, you can google that up to find out what that means if your intersted, please dont preach to me about war or being a soldier unless you have walked in my shoes, you have no idea what I have been thru or have seen.
Most people do not know what we went thru back than fighting a war which also we had no bussiness bieng in just like this one, did I run to Canada, no, no matter if I liked it or not I did my duty without any complaints, and did I get spit on, no, cause I didnt give anybody a chance to even try, did they try, you bet they did, that hurt more than the years I served there, we got no welcome or thanks from anybody when we came back, so dont you even say anything to me if I dont like it here than leave, I've earned my right to be here, and to express what I feel, and with some knowledge about what happined there and what is going on here now.
Of course its a soldiers duty to go to war no matter if its stupid or not, I never said anything to the contrary, I said these guys went in never knowing they were going to go where they are now, do you think most people join cause they want to go thru the hurah, march, pt, kp, or inspections etc. crap, hell no, most join cause its hard to find work sometimes or build a carier, thats no secret, also is it nothing to be ashamed of, hell I wish I stayed and did 30 I would have had it made right now.
Plus these poor grunts dont even get the chance to go home after one year like we did, even though I stayed for two, I had my reasons, these guys are spending 3 to 4 years there already, being in a place that we have no business being in, but thats mhop, you have yours, and may I add I fought so you can have it even though that was a stupid war also, and we didnt lose it by the way, they didnt let us win it, again cause the polticians kept sticking thier nose in.
So when that kid mentioned that they have nothing to complain about cause they asked for it, I dont want to hear that, you think they would not go back home this minute if they had a right to, you bet your ass they would, you think its fun getting shot at or explosives up your gege daily, join and give it a shot.
And thats why I replied to that kid, my reply was to stick up for them not to downgrade them, again, like I said before, think before you react.
I love my country, I just despise the people that are running it, and being a vet I will stick by or help any vet that ever asks for it, I know what its like to be a soldier and more so to be a soldier in combat, and last, I'm from Philly also, and as shitty as Philly can be sometimes I will say this, I have been in many cities were we were looked down upon, never did I get that when I went back to my hometown, so score some points for Philly.

your right, nuff said, but just try to feel what I felt, when someone kinda questions your intergrety and patrotism when you have enough of it coming out of your rear hole, it kinda hurt.

unless i failed out of 3rd grade we (the United States) only have 50 states there is no 51st state and wont be in the near future. i would like to see a flag a real American flag with 51 stars on it....you wont, not possible. i think you might want to go back to the 3rd grade again and learn about the states, cause it dont look like you learned the first time around..

was that ment for me?
i would never complain about someone wanting to leave the US.but i would find it insulting when someone complains about it cause they dont know what they are talking about and down grade the US cause of their ignorance.

@cincyrob...thank you for the nice words :)
It seems everyone is proud of their country and, seems to me, that is the way it should be. Every country, including mine (U.S.) has its good points and its bad; so far as I know, no country has become the utopia that philosophers once idealized and envisioned. Even those countries which governments love to point the finger at has its good points and its bad; its simply that our individual cultures makes us look at things through a different lens. If the press and certain politicans are to be believed, then all men from the middle east beat their wives and hold up their children as "human shields" and nothing could be further from the truth. Human nature is the same wherever you go ... different culture or not.

If you have the money, i would say go ahead and try for Dubai. Possibly the most beatiful and expensive city in the world but there is so much to look at there. My cousin went there and was pretty much shocked at what he saw- man made islands, construction of the tallest buulding eva in the world(Burj Dubai), underwater hotel, an indoor ski resort, and a complex to accomdate various sports to name a few. Its also quite peaceful and hormonious there.
