U.S. Soliders Do Not (Always) Protect Our Freedom

I don't think our military is number one in the world. I think they're very good and very well-trained, but I think if we ended up in a war with China for example, there is a very real possibility of them cleaning our clocks. It's good to have pride in your armed forces, but as the Bible says "pride is before a crash." We've had our victories and our humiliations. It's important to avoid not just underestimating the enemy, but overestimating our ability as well.

I see our armed forces as beeing tooled and trained (for the most part) to fight regimented enemies, the formal armies of other nations. We won the American Revolution against a military power with far greater training, tactics, and overall fire power using guerilla tactics. There is hardly any defense against a roadside bomb or people shooting at you from deep cover. Going up against that is why it takes a hell of a lot of guts to be a soldier.

Like I said, be proud of your soldiers, just don't delude yourself into thinking they're invincible.

"Be proud of your soldiers".. What the eff? As if they aren't your soldiers too? You obviously don't appreciate the troops, so maybe you should just move somewhere else.
