I’m not sure what it is really. I do think that there’s a lot of of people out there who are convinced that there has been a lot of covering up of why we went, the reasons we stayed and what happened over there. I also think that a lot of folks don’t give the military due respect and assume (as much as I hate to say this) that ya’ll don’t know what you’re signing up for. And along with that, they do not realize or chose to see that you’re professionals.

I also think that people like that cannot fathom there’s another possibility — another point of view. I’ve had discussions with people who are not only against the war in Iraq but consider themselves to be pacifists. I respect their right to that viewpoint! But I wish that they would realize that while it all sounds nice, I’d rather not find out what rights we would no longer have if pacifism was our way of dealing with tyranny.

I can’t blame people for only knowing what they’re fed by the media, but why can’t they accept other points of view? Did she think I was part of some military cover up? It’s frustrating.

I stumbled upon your website through Twitter. Great post. I think this is what disturbs me most about our country right now. People most definitely are spoon fed what the media wants them to hear and they don’t have the presence of mind to think through what they hear and see. It’s disturbing!

Nice website!

I thought you died! Good to hear you’ve still got an opinion. But I’m safely on MCRD Parris Island where the civilians can’t get to me. I’m sure you’re dealing with them every day now.

Nah, there was $500 in it. I will check to see if she actually mailed it. Christmas in July.

You should have showed her the picture of the still pink skull found in the middle of Jolan Park – NOW THAT IS CULTURE; or better yet the tango that took a direct hit and only his feet were there at the bottom of the crater. I’ll even bet that if you asked her about the civil war that she would state it was about some noble cause and NOT about economic theft. You encountered the walking dead. They are everywhere and PROPAGATING!

Yeah bro. It’s one of those humble-pies I have been eating for 4 years now. Everyone “respects” our service, but no one really understands it so, in essence, they don’t respect anything. Academia will not give you any credit for anything that you have learned outside the classroom setting. Everyone thinks the crap they study is the most important thing in the world and any challenge to their “knowledge” is met with contempt and insolence. It honestly sounds like she was debating another person’s opinion. Also she was probably a Poly-Sci major. Avoid those idiots at all costs. Especially the ones who really believe it’s a science.
