Regardless of whether 9.11 was done by Islamics or US domestics, the fact that they answered the call is worth my respect.
So to gain your respect someone must kill someone else without knowing the real reason why and to follow orders regardless of how illegal or inhumane they are simply because they are blinded by their own patriotism? If that is the case what's your respect worth? A delusional psychopath under mind control is more or less answering the call (the call of their handler), so what's the difference?
Wow, that's a wild pile. Did someone teach you to arrange words in such a way as to create a no reply situation?
Are you really interested in what I think... or is this just fun and games with insults, lol?
I'm impressed. I might feel like rioting.
Honor, Duty and Country? Oh, you must mean that old way of thinking that was fazed out when America attacked Iraq for no reason at all. It's not longer Honor, Duty and Country it's has become Oil, Power and Corporations.
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

Duty. Honor. Country. That's the order of them.
You may be right and if so, then the sin of it is on those who command and lead, not those who answer the call.
I remember the Nam and all those politically self righteous types who labeled soldiers as baby killers and such. They had found a comfort zone in attacking the people who would have died to defend their right to say those things.

If we know the leaders are wrong, why take their side?

So for those who support the troops because they protect our freedoms, why aren't they protecting our freedom from unconstitutional searches and seizures at the hands of the TSA at the airports?

Really? That's your answer? Nice way to avoid answering pertinent questions and responding to logical statements.

That's your job. You have a ballot.
You have the right to redress. You have the right to protest. You have the right to assemble. Get off your ass and change things.

The day 911 happened who was protecting the freedom that DAY?
Where was security that day?
Assasinations don't happen, they are allowed to happen.

try asking a pertinent question without loading it with explosives and I might offer a pertinent reply.
Just watch out for the riot squads and militarised police waiting to pump your ass full of tear-gas, rubber bullets and riot shields when you do actually attempt to protest.
