Sorry - I fought and served in the military for 12 years (not as an instructer at some midwest school either) for every Americans right to have an opinion and to voice it anywhere anytime they want. Unfortunately there are a few "citizens" that obviously missed a few classes in school when they talked about what it really means to be an American, and instead let idiotic paid pundits drive their ideas and voices for them - its a shame that people in this country can no longer think for themselves - and more importantly - get labelled "un-American" if they vocalize those thoughts.
I believe it was an earlier generation than mine that produced such phrases as
Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it
and from my generation:
Our duty is not merely the preservation of political
power but the preservation of peace and freedom
(This was the keystone of the speech JFK was going to give in Dallas the day he was shot)
