As American troops prepare for possible military action in Syria, "Duck Dynasty's" Uncle Si tells Beltway Buzz why America's troops have a special place in his heart.

“A lot of these people have gave their lives, a lot of them have gave their limbs, okay, you know, that's a, that's a, that's a heap you know, that's might near like, you know, like the son of God, okay that gave Himself for us all okay. That's a great sacrifice, okay, giving up life and limb you know just for your freedom and my freedom. So, they, you know, they've got a special spot in my heart and I think they've actually got a special spot in God's heart.”

Watch what else Si says about America's men and women in the military, his time in Vietnam and why he thinks "Duck Dynasty" strikes a chord with millions of Americans.

What military service in Syria? Is Obama invading after all? The problem is in Iran. Which can be handled quickly by our great USAF. Which is deployed to do it efficiently and with cat less “ collateral damage” than if other threatened countries do it. But that would require him to put American defenses and interests above his primary objective ( of using American military and money to build the worldwide islamoNazi caliphate while weakening USA and its allies. ). There is no visible good justification to send ground forces Into Syria no matter how much he wants to install alqaida type “rebel” terrorists into power there. What does this article mean.....” Preparing for military duty in Syria?”
