what do you think of un-patriotic people ?

Could there be a worse thing to do in this country than bash the young men and women serving in our military ?

Complain about the leaders, complain about the Administration, heck even question what we're doing over there .... but calling our young men and women names and bashing the soldiers and personnel themselves ??

Dirt under my feet gets more consideration. Just put them on ignore they are making fools of themselves knowingly or unknowingly.

I would never say anything bad about the people that fight for this country. Don't know why anyone would.

Yeah Stealthy, I'm with you on this! The sad thing is that our young men and women, along with all who have served and died since the Revolutionary War, suffered and died so that these arse's could have the free right to curse and spit on them!
It is really unfortunate that the umbrella of protection provided by our Constitution, protects even the scum that would distroy that very umbrella!
I really think that those who don't like our country should try living in some other country, and see how far they get criticizing their government and military personell!

Nothing wrong with criticizing our goverments policies. That is one of the thing that makes this country great. Don't lump this in with being un-patriotic.

I have no problem with folks criticizing the administration or elected officials but to do that to the poor soldier who went into the military for a better life than they had and ended up in a position of really defending us ......NO!!!!

JagMagMan · 07-15-2004, 09:48 AM

I am not saying our government should be exempt from criticism, but some of these loonies go way overboard! Let them try half of this in any other country!
And speaking against our soldiers borders on treason!

i think the people who bash our armed servicemen/women are doing so out of stupidity or lack of understanding for the REAL world. seems like most of them are college students or well to do people who have nothing better to do than demand a perfect world where peace rules and there is no need for military action.

coming from a military family and the son of a soldier whose father was spit on and called a baby killer after he came home from vietnam , i'de have to say that you have the right to question the gov't but , when you actually abuse , slander , and falsly charge a person whose coming from a situation you have no real knowledge or experience of , you've definitely crossed the line. the people in the service have a job to do , and certain situations arise that need a reaction that thier lives depend on , it isn't always the popular reaction to all people but , you don't have the right to abuse people , and there's definitely a difference between questioning someone and expressing your opinion , and then outright abusing them .

To me any American who bashes our military personel should hang their heads in shame, they are enjoying the freedoms and rights that our military folks fought and died for. I have found that most folks like this have never been in the military and usually none of thier close relatives have either. This leads me to beleive that the folks who bash our troops are genetically predisposed to be cowards!
