They, and I was one of "them", did not do anything that promoted freedom in this
country. We
killed folks IN THEIR COUNTRY. I've been in five wars (OK, some were small wars, but
it was
wholesale killing non-the-less) in "my country's" uniform. And in NOT A SINGLE CASE
was this
country's "freedom" threatened. The last American soldiers to fight for "freedom" were
Confederate soldiers. Since then, Amercian soldiers truly have fought gallantly...
but they were
not fighting for American freedom. WWII was fought "to make the world safe for
communism." The
outcome -- bottom line -- of that conflict was two-thirds of the world's population
falling under
communism.

That's my point. I didn't have any bills to pay in Tarawa, Iwo Jima, etc....

I don't owe anything to anyone for going half way around the world to kill people who
were not a
threat to me. Why is that so difficult a concept to understand?

My "miserable little life?" Pardner, I myself have "paid the price" .... It is absurd
for anyone
to say that Americans sent to kill people in their own country "paid the price" so I
could have
ANY kind of life.

So the next time some mugger pokes a gun in my face he should tell me, "You should be
proud to be
an American, and grateful that you have money for me to take." After all, he's taking
my money so
he can maintain his lifestyle of robbing and killing other people...

My ilk? Maybe its time for "others of my ilk" to sack up people "of your ilk" and
ship THEM
somewhere so we can live our lives without deadbeats robbing us of the fruit of our
labor.
