When did the celebration for independence and freedom become a war festival? I noticed how many war pictures are on tv tonight...

I'm simultaneously watching Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down.

Private Ryan makes me cry... :(

Blackhawk Down really pisses me off because I knew one of the rangers who was in the midst of it.

Band of Brothers makes me wonder in awe......what a miracle!!!

damn, we as a country are bad ass when we wanna be!

Happy 4th of July!!!

My dad's employee's husband fought in the incident too. I think it does a good job showing the grit of modern war, though I don't really know and hope I'll never really have to know. It makes me ask a lot of questions about America, the will to fight, freedom, etc...

You forgot "N8 sucks"

I love my country. I hate my country's government. As a true patriot I question all authority figures and I get pissed off at the loss of my rights. as a true patriot I am going to drink beer and grill animal flesh on an open fire tomorrow!

N8, if this was the late 18th century I bet you'd be wearing a redcoat.

Damn the man!
Vive la Revolution!
Vive la Liberte!

Amen, dissent is patriotic. I love this country, and am willing to fight for freedom and for the preservation of life should I need to, but this is not a war for either and I do not support what this administration stands for.

give war a chance, freakin' peace mongers!
I think it's had quite a few chances, and it can't seem to get through without a whole lot of pointless death.

War can eat a dick, and so can GW.
