I have a close relative that wants us to go to war at the drop of a hat. The thing is, when he had the opportunity to join the military back in the 60’s, he hid behind a deferment. It's always bothered me that he was never able to make the same sacrifice that he expects from others.
I agree that Lee Greenwood has been a great supporter of the military and the country and my argument is not with him.
The celebration of Independence Day is about the contributions of all Americans...not just those who served in the military.
Please excuse a thoughtless comment.
