I agreed with the basic idea that 9/11 should be remembered. I strongly disagreed with the notion that 9/11 gives us carte blanche to attack any country anywhere just because 'they looked at us funny'.
Again, the soldiers oath is to support and defend the US Constituion from foreign and domestic enemies. What people choose to do with those freedoms is up to them.
The war on terror may be a generational conflict. The idea that we should suspend our freedoms for 30 years to be safer is ridiculous. The idea that we should not question our leaders decisions and blindly follow them is exactly what our forefathers were warning us about.
What this guy seems to be saying is that to prove you are not afraid and deserve to be free, give up your freedom and get in line.
Stupid.
