I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.
Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.
The same “you” that believes our very government was behind September 11, Pearl Harbor and every other terrorist act in recent history. That there were no planes and a missile hit the pentagon and every other ridiculous conspiracy your mind can imagine behind your safe little keyboard.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
Wilfred Owen
I do not believe in capitulation, negotiation or apologetics when it comes to the foreign affairs of my country
I believe we are a country founded on the principles and morality of God
OH you matter all right; it is because of you they are there. The “you” that hates the government. The “you” that believes the government is evil even though you voted that government in; if you even voted. The same “you” that believes our very government was behind September 11, Pearl Harbor and every other terrorist act in recent history. That there were no planes and a missile hit the pentagon and every other ridiculous conspiracy your mind can imagine behind your safe little keyboard. It matters to me every day I strap my gun on and go to work, knowing the reason I must wear a gun is the same reason I may kiss my wife for the last time this very morning.
those of you that are either upset by this post, aggravated or angered, I suppose my message is this. There is no way I can ever make you understand how ridiculous you sound when you spout off against my country and have never lived a life to be proud of.
You have never given enough of yourself to make your opinion matter. I am sorry if this offends, but it is the truth. You must be prepared to die for something you believe in before your words have any meaning, and not just prepared to die in your basement in front of your keyboard
Oh your opinion matters. It matters to those that are dirty, hot and sweaty; more tired than you have ever known and yet pick up their rifles and go back to work. It matters to those that are lying on the side of some trail, bleeding and wondering if the medics will arrive in time. Matters to the one rappelling from the chopper into live fire thinking of his wife and children back home. OH you matter all right; it is because of you they are there.

Without skirting 9/11 forum rules and derailing this thread into territory that it doesn't need to be in, no matter what he personally chooses to believe about any given singular incident has no bearing upon his overall political views.
How in the world did you connect connect THAT to what he said???
Do you think that that only applies to people criticizing your buddy, or should he have to follow that same logic?
