I for one am extremely grateful for their Service.
yes, we all have respect for them. they were brave men and women who thought they were fighting for their country. unfortunately they died for a lie, they died for the wrong reason.

I knew full well I would see military action when I enlisted.

I served in Desert Storm. When did you serve? I knew full well I would see military action when I enlisted. It doesn't matter why we fight and die because we do so willingly. We enlist to serve our country and defend our nation's constitution and that means defending the rights of people like you who think they know what being military is all about. Even if we served and died in the most pointless excercise ever conceived we still serve our country with honor.

However, if you swore an oath to protect the Constitution for the United States against threats foreign and domestic, then why would you allow the nation's leaders to constantly rip it to pieces?

It is a soldier’s duty to follow orders and come home. It is a citizen’s responsibility to check the Congressional and Executive branch. The question is, why did you allow this? Why did you fail them?
See, isn’t politics fun?

Amazingly you too have the right to leave the union. I know how much you detest the United States, might I suggest that perhaps leaving the US for better places like Somalia or Chad. Someplace where they support your ideals better.

You were saying that the states have a right to secession from the union, I was just showing that you have that right too.
Just giving you options. Maybe also, you might want to check with a therapist or psychologist. It seems to me that you are becoming more mentally unstable.
You can simply serve other people anywhere, anyhow. Is it not more honorable to take the initiative and make the specific choice in what way and how much you will serve someone else than it is to simply do only as you are told and no more?
