    14) "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." -- Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

    That pretty much sums it up. Soldiers have died to give us the right to spit on them.

    Everyday.

    in the words of Gen Patton, "It's not your job to die for your country. It's your job to make the other poor bastard die for his."
