I meant no disrespect for anyone who served. I lost family in WWII but that was before I was born.

I don't think reading about history is unpatriotic. I try to learn something new each day.

I don't believe I have ever tore down the country. I agree it is the best country in the world. Isn't that the reason so many are moving in, or trying to and no one is moving out?

I read that only 5% of the current population lived in America during the Civil War. This is a melting pot.
