Quote: You guys shit on the notions of patriotism and military defense, except for brief lapses where you feel it makes the right look bad, by painting yourselves as the "true patriots" who "fight American injustice" to "save our troops", while temporarily pretending to care about and appreciate their service. But only long enough paint conservatives in a distorted negative light.
What you call patriotism and milatary defense I call nationalism and imperialism. Do I shit on those notions? Yes. Do I appreciate their service and sacrifice? No. I've said so many times in other threads. They volunteered, they took a risk. What motivated them to do so I really don't know or care. It's their problem. What I do know is that this conflict, like previous wars, is really about money and resources. If you want to die for them, whatever floats yer boat, man. Just don't expect me to do it.
