    Too late. I have an automatic negative reaction when I see an American flag now. 77 million+ Americans made sure of that.

      Honestly same, my country has let me down too many times. I lost count.

            As much as I agree, we need people that keep fighting to keep those that have lost faith afloat. One day we will come back around but it will take time…keep the good fight going even when you feel like giving up. Hope never dies.

        I went to school with the kids of those troops, so my perspective’s a bit different.

          I did too, and I heard a lot of people in my school only enlisting to kill Iraqi’s… I was in 8th grade when 9/11 happened, so we had a few years to let the anger fester before people were able to get out of school and legally go over.

            I never heard that kind of thing, but I was around them in the mid-90s. A different time.
