People [who disrespect the troops]

Why the brackets? Because it could either way. Geez, don't you know how those work? I insult your general ignorance.

As if it wasn't enough that people are the worst, period, some of them have to go and branch off into sub-categories of things that deserve extra hatred. In this post, I'm talking about the people who "diss" (I'm not writing "disrespect" every time, get bent) the military. (Not that I like you more for doing any of the following anyway, but...) You can hate the government. You can hate the president himself. You can hate the countless blowhard politicians who are more obsessed with bickering over which camp is right rather than showing concern for actual human lives (actually, that one's okay). You can hate the cause itself. You can hate the war itself. But there's no way in hell I'm going to let you hate our armed forces. (Except the coast Guard, since they should just be one of the uniformed services and not one of the armed forces.)

See, here's the thing: without men willing to put their lives on the line fr something as trivial as ideology, this nation would just be southern Canada. A little back story:

We were once just a humble set of thirteen colonies that were controlled by Great Britain. One day, we got fed up with their shit, and a bunch of awesome-smart, deist, presumably beef jerky eating, bad asses wrote up our Declaration of Independence. This note was basically one big "fuck you, we're leaving" to the King of England. The Revolutionary War ensued because of this, and because of our Continental Army, and our awesome guerilla soldiers, we were able to retain our independence, and go on to create the Constitution (a little more on it's qualities of awesomeness below). We wouldn't even be a nation without our fighting men (and supposedly women, but I'm still skeptical about the truth of this).

I'm not even going to bother listing off every single military engagement henceforth, (though I would enjoy that), because it ultimately boils down one thing: WITHOUT OUR TROOPS, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO SHIT.

The reason why we get to continue to be so awesome is because nobody has the balls to invade us (yet), due to us having the single most powerful military force in the history of mankind. Not everybody exactly agrees with us flaunting democracy, capitalism, liberty, and common sense. The only reason we can continue to follow the greatest document ever drafted, which all countries followed suit and tried to copy later on to get their shit together, the U.S. Constitution, is because the only thing standing in between that and a bloodthirsty enemy is the U.S. military. Men and women die just to uphold those simple, yet powerful, values, and to keep your sorry ass out of trouble.

And what's the Bill of Rights? The first ten amendments of the Constitution. What do we all love, and sometimes to take for granted, so much about the Bill of Rights? The fact that it guarantees us our freedom to say whatever the hell we want, no matter how stupid it may be.

So when those select few assholes sit around, contributing nothing of worth to society, and badmouth the troops, it really gets my blood boiling. There's nothing to do but snap your head towards their general direction, go berserk, and put their stupid ass in a coma. You can't just sit there and diss the people that die on a daily basis just so you can say whatever stupid bullshit you want about this.

You can hate everything else about the war, but when you spit in the face of the soldier himself, you can just get the fuck out of my country.

Preferably, you should go to the PRC (China) after that, and just learn how much you should appreciate all the little things that you take for granted, like the ability to say how much you irrationally hate everything, an uncensored internet, and the opportunity to spawn as many mini-dipshits as you want (More on why this shouldn't happen next). Anyone else with me on this?
