Thank God our vets are getting more honor, because we owe our Freedom to them. So many of them offer up their lives in service every day. This is overdue and I am so glad we have a President that honors our noble military.

I love how right wing reactionaries love to type out the Presidents full name. And this one can't even spell Hussein correctly, lol

@mskatiejo1 First off i dont live in a trailer park but i will say this that there are more trailer parks in america then there are mansions so in my eyes and many others the armed forces are bought and paid for by the elite, the rich, and the oil company's, the banks, and the drug company's. Heck my friend in the special forces got his checks cut from the airlines so who is paying who. Does the right hand know what the left does? Something is seriously wrong with this country.

@casinohijack Well like I said, I'm glad that there are people out there fighting for YOUR right.. yes you over there in the apparent trailer park.. so that you can have the freedom to post this jargon on the internet. They're fighting for more than the "rich elite" as you like to frequently say. They're out there fighting for you fool. And if you're to stupid to see that, I have no intention on continuing this conversation with some bitter trash like yourself.

cbucklew0You should come around my park talking crap like that. You want to go serve the ultra rich elite go ahead the people of this country deserve better from the people who are here to defend this nation not invade other nations. And i hope you get great health care thats run by the drug companies not that there going to let you have the cure for cancer they make more money off treating your cancer. Bet you wish you had served the american people and not the rich elite Id say it to your face

Who are you kidding the people in the armed forces are there because they want to be there. We sell violence on TV in movies, in sports,in video games, violence is a huge source of entertainment who are you kidding heck our war vets our fallen souldiers are the next movie stars of the future.Just you wait hollywood will make a great movie to get more people happy to go to war to die for the ultra rich elite of this country not the american people the american people dont want this war

@mskatiejo1 And who's freedom are they fighting for the super rich elite yeah i think there fighting for there freedom. You may think you have freedom but its only as far as your crapy US dollar will let you buy. I hate to be the one to break it to you but while your over there wasting tax payer dollars fighting people in countries that do not want us around things are steadly getting worse in the states. I might not spell that well but ive got enuf smarts to not go to war to protect the elite.

@casinohijack I'm so very glad that your third grade intelligence matches your third grade spelling. We're so lucky to have people out there defending us and our freedoms. It's just unfortunate that you're too ignorant to acknowledge that.
