By the way, please thank your kids for their service; I know they'll be among the ones who've got our back.

I can assure you the thanks you send will be just as offensive to them as the thanks sent by the anti war left.

Our military is made up for the most part of professionals who love this country and it's Constitution at least as much, if not more than any person at Free Republic. The people who think that there are enough people in the military, or think that in eight years they could get enough senior officers to turn their backs on the Constitution, have a low opinion of our military's true patriotism.

Your thanks may make you feel better but it is offensive. They will never tell you this to your face because they serve you and honor wouldn't allow it any more than telling an antiwar leftest their thanks is not appreciated.

You act as though no one here has served or is serving.

There are just as many whacked out liberals in the military as there are out.

There are just as many people in the military who have never read the Constitution as there are out.

There are just as many people who would follow any order given to them as would question the order.

There are more in the military who don’t even know the difference between a valid order and an illegal or unconstitutional one as they have never read the Constitution, never so much as thought about it, and really couldn’t care less.

You can try to wrap the entire military in one big giant flag but the fact remains history has shown that not to be true for a number of reasons.
