RE: Triggering the Troops
Yes, all those who serve their Nations have my respect, even our enemies, past and present. One man's Patriot is another's terrorist.
Remember the American Revolution? Yeah, our founding fathers and the minute-men were terrorists as far as King George and his government were concerned.
Yes, they were traitors and rebels according to the political system imposed upon them at birth. The soldiers who fought to maintain that status quo felt they were acting honorably. But reality exists outside their perceptions. One side fought to maintain an authoritarian regime, and the other fought for independence. Which side would you choose? Do patriotism and loyalty trump liberty? If so, that is no honorable position.
