There is a country full of them, and there always will be.
Ingrates is the word that is applicable to them.

Of all the posts on this board, this is the most offensive one...IMO.

You don't know her; don't call her an ingrate.

Who gave her the right to free speech and the ability to burn the flag? The Patriots.....who went to war over having to pay extra taxes. France had a revolution because the people were starving. England had a revolution because their people were starving and out of work. America had a revolution so they wouldn't have to be taxed.

The military doesn't give the right free speech and they aren't the only ones who protect it. The people who USE it also protect it....and she's using to it to voice her opinions and she has this right like everyone else on this board.

"America - love it or leave it." - One of the most Un-American ideas in my opinion. It should be "America - love it or work to change it." We have that right and are very special for it.

Being anti-military might be offending to you. It's her right to be anti-military like it is mine. It's your right to join the military if you want. However, know it is not ONLY military who defends our rights. The peacemakers do as well.
