American people don't want a war in the U.S. either. Americans don't like to pay taxes. Americans don't want illegal aliens in our country, but the Dems make excuses that it's too hard to remove them. Americans don't want Obamacare but this administration forced it upon us. Americans don't want a lot of things that the gov does, but they do it anyway, right?

Not to belittle the wars in the middle East, but we lost 60,000 Americans in Vietnam (started by a Dem and finished by a Repub, right or wrong). How many have died furthering democracy and freedom in the Middle East? The difference is that we fought socialism and communism in Vietnam and we are fighting Islamic jihad in the Middle East. Like I said, not to belittle the ME wars, but come back and tell me about it once the death toll is anywhere near 60,000 Americans. No war is ideal, but I would rather that we fought overseas than here in the U.S. of A. And the way it is going with this liberal in the White House, the war is getting pretty personal and not that far away.

And before you speak for others regarding sending troops overseas, remember that we have warriors in the military that train every day to be used that way. Not to fight and retreat, but to fight and win. Politicians create failure in wars, not the military. And before you ask me if I have contributed to the effort, yes I have and still would if called. That's the American way.

You need not agree with me, but you do need to explain your reason for going against American standards by adopting European socialist principles. You need to explain why we should even consider a minority complaint against the majority theme. The majority of Americans will bend or compromise to a minority request IF it does not go against ingrained American standards, ethics or morals that they grew up with. Caving in to minority complaints of unfair treatment does not mean the majority should suffer or sacrifice for the few. Tolerance of the lazy, criminal minority by race, or gender challenged only goes so far. We can bend but we won't change our standards, morals and ethics just to cater to the minute minority group of unruly deviants.
