I have to agree about being sick of my country getting shitted on. But Spike is right. If we leave, then that's when we really lose. I joined the military because I believe that there is plenty in this country worth defending. Sure, our government isn't that great at times, but it's our government. I love America, and I still believe that there is something worth dying for in this country. We are still free, are we not? I can still get on my knees and pray whenever I want to, can I not? I bleed Coast Guard blue. At the same time I am proud of my country, I weep for America at the same time. But it is up to us, to you and me, the new generations, to stake our claim, and reclaim this great country for it it was founded on!
