The speed of which people in this country want to go kill is one of the most disgusting things about our culture. The only thing I can think of that is more disgusting is that so many Christians in this country (Christians simply because they are the vast majority, the issue exists amongst other faiths as well) think that it is acceptable to marry their faith to violence and nationalism and don't realize the supreme hypocrisy of such an act.
Lord this conversation has become loathsome.

I hear that all the time. I'd defend my country if there were a real threat, uh huh uh huh.
Tell me. How the hell would you do that? You think you just pick up guns and shoot people?
Never mind, I don't want you anywhere near me if that happens. I want someone trained to know what to do , and when.
And, I want a commander who has the guts to win a war, not just engage in skirmishes.
You people. You live here, you enjoy all the benefits of living in a free society, and you whine because "I dont want to hurt anyone".
How do you think this country was built? Not by pansies, thats for sure.
