Here for you pro-war die hards is a quote from one of your very own full
blooded American Natives. Makes alot of sense to me since all this killing
and invading of another country was not at all necessary. And now it seems
it's coming to light that there were underlying reasons that this whole war
took place which had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism or freedom of
the American people.

Quote by Daywalker:

The military hasn't had to protect me from anything except terrorists, and
fighting this war in iraq is avoiding attacking any of the nations that the
terrorists that bombed us live in or that al-Qaeda is rumored to be harbored
by.

Let's see...they didn't protect me in the first Gulf War either, I do not
live in Kuwait.

Before that...they did not protect any Americans from invasion by the evil
Vietnamese.

Nor did Korea actually threaten the US then. Hell, they have nukes now...we
still don't consider them enough of a threat to worry about.

Japan, there's a coutry that actually threatened America. Except...Hawaii
did not become a state until after WW2...so that was not really an attack on
our country...it was an attack on a military base. So, the Japanese attacked
the military, not the people of this nation or this nation's land...so the
military defended Europe from the Germans and fought to protect ITSELF from
Japan. That's still not protecting the freedoms of the people of this nation
at all.

WW1? Nope. No one here protected.

Spanish American War? Expansionism. There would have been no need to protect
Americans from anyone if we were not trying to take land from other nations
by force.

Civil War? Us fighting each other. No one was fighting for the freedom of
Americans...actually, the fighting for freedom was being done by the faction
who wanted to stop Americans and start their own country.

When, exactly, is the last time the military fought to protect the freedoms
of Americans? The last time we were actually threatened with a takeover?
Like...the war of 1812 maybe?

That's almost 200 years ago. I was not here, neither were you. The men who
actually fought and dies protecting the freedoms of American citizens were
long dead before your grandmother was a gleam in your great grandfather's
eye.

Also, just a note, I'm black and Native American....and those men sure as
hell were not fighting to protect MY freedoms at all when they fought the
English again. So no one's fought for my freedom, except for the
Revolutionary war...but wait...no, that wasn't to free people like me
either.

In other words, our military has not fought for your freedom in about two
centuries, and never fought for mine at all.

Maybe the ones who are too young to know any better should listen when the
elders who've been around a while talk. They have some idea what they're
talking about.
