Jesus Christ and the American soldier

Numbers might have something to do with it.  Reminds me of the movie "The Glory Brigade" in which a Greek-American lieutenant in the Korean War tells the Greek lieutenant, "We're ten to one to the rest of you."

I try to give credit where it is due.  Once on the Q & A site where I used to hang out, there was a question about the weapons used in the Gulf War, and someone gave an overly-long list of American weapons systems.  I came in and added the weapons systems from Britain, France, and other Gulf Coalition countries.  Another tried to say it was an American victory with modest help from allies, and I corrected that smartass too, especially with regard to the Egyptian and Syrian forces.

And I must say that if they gave their lives for our freedom, they may have thrown it away for nothing, because we are not free.  We are watched and numbered and to a large degree controlled by our governments.

And do you presume that everybody on this board is American Warren?

The term used in the quote was G.I(General Infantry) this term came into usage in World War 2.

As a Brit I can tell you for a fact American soldiers(around 400,000 of them) did die to preserve my freedom from Nazi tyranny and for the liberation of occupied Europe,along with millions of other allied troops(my grandfather among them).

Their sacrifices will never be forgotten, and the way you casually mention soldiers killing innocent civilians as if that's the norm means you're disrespecting both their memories and the job that serving soldiers are doing today.

What are you babbling about?? So the Japanese never bombed Pear Harbour? Germany never declared war on America? And I am focusing solely on the American involvement. Millions have given their lives in order to maintain freedoms, just like your freedom to talk the garbage you are spouting on here.

No, you are correct there was no danger, or intention, invade. I agree completely with the rest of your post as well. Japan could well have fared much worse had the Russians had their way.  

Hawaii, which we invaded and just stole from the native people there, was not a state at the time. 
So the attack on Pearl Harbor was as close to bombing the mainland as any of the WW2 enemies was going to get.

We were always safe from any harm from Germany and Japan.

Show me any examples as to where any soldiers in any modern wars sacrificed themselves for my freedom here.  
Since when was there any threat at all to any of our freedoms from a foreign enemy? 

It's probably worov. He's out to get you!
