Blank CD, am I right in thinking you think all the wars we have fought recently were for no reason and there for should not be appreciated? That's what I made of your "But its not, it hasn't been for a long time, probably never will be in our lifetime, and no, everything the military does is not great" comment.

The "over-glorification and pseudo-patriotism" in my view is not a bad thing, we need the strongest military, Amurka, fool. From my knowledge that has been going on since before you and I were born, in your view we should just have quiet soldiers with no motivation?

Your comment "detracts people from the truth that we are not the greatest country on earth anymore" tell me, who is? As I agree America isn't as high as we use to be on the "greatest country on earth" scale, I still believe the US is the place to be. I may disagree with some of our governments decisions, laws, and some of the population worries me, but in the big picture, this COUNTRY and it's fundamentals are still in my opinion the greatest. Does that mean we should shove that down everyone's throats? No. I'd even move if I could out of the country, but you portray America to be a dying breed. You seem ashamed to be an American.

Comments like these make Obama supporters look bad, just as Romney supporters thinking every Muslim is an issue makes him look bad.
