A Tribute to our Military

[phkrause]

You know its just amazing to me that a little tribute to our military can cause such a outburst. The problem I see is the US is always slapped down because we never honor our heroes, but it looks like we're slapped down for honoring them as well. It would be one thing if I were uplifting Satan, and giving him a tribute for his outstanding war against all of man kind. Than I could understand all this outburst. So if Stan wants to delete or close this thread, that would be fine with me. So I would like to apologies to those who have a problem with the US. And I thank those that came to the defense of this great nation and for what we do throughout the world. We are the first if not one of the first to help all that are in trouble, we give more of our means than most if not all other countries put together, and no matter what our situation is here in the US we find a way to stick together and help out where ever needed.

This will be my last post on this tribute.

Fair enough; but you might want to stop and think a little more deeply about how this kind of "we are first" statements come across; especially when other nations do just as much with what they have got, and especially with people like Avinoam. To just keep saying to them how your nation is "best" sure don't help. If that's what you are giving a 'tribute" to; I can't support that. Last time I looked; our two nations were working quite well together, on a number of current disasters, and no one was worried about who was "first" or "best." That is something I can and do support.

I think I would like to join Rudywoofs in deleting my comment that I have no yet posted. I think it is best not said. For this thread has just gotten far to distasteful for me. I would go along with pk and suggest that Stan close it off before it gets any worse.

Yuck. And it started off so well. A Tribute to our heroes.

Ahh shucks. Let me just say one more thing. Those that don't want to give tribute to our heroes ... can you just find another thread to express your hate for Americans? For I find it off topic. Let us honor our people without other politics here.

but I have experienced the same phenomenon in discussions with other Americans. There is an incredible lack of critical thinking and I was surprised that it is even prevalent amongst Adventists-

I can support all that you said here so far; except for this part which I have quoted from you. You go too far.
