We will never agree. You sound too much like me 10 years ago. I believed all that stuff then. I just don't believe it anymore.
I know they are burning flags. Burning flags makes them feel better for some reason.
But am I willing to ask someone to give up a dad, brother, or son to get into a mess just to feel heroic? No.
I always support our troops. And I think I am supporting them by not not falling into the same old trap over and over. I am unwilling to pay a blood sacrifice to the god of war. I know what it is to bury my own child. That is something you never understand until you do it.
I feel no need to ask that from anyone to help people that hate us to start with.
