Power to the TSA for giving some people their first sexual experience in years in order to keep us safe. It's like killing two birds with one stone from where I'm sitting.

Just where are you sitting then? Tell more.

In the position where I have risked my life defending this country and your freedom, probably.

Naw.  You were advancing the interests of US corporations, same as I was.  That's a different thing.

The USA and its freedoms haven't been seriously challenged in 65 years, unless you count the damage we did to our own freedoms beginning in 2001.

I have to believe it was for SOMETHING other than that and I will continue to look out for the best interests of my fellow Americans, even if they have to much SAND in their vagina to do so themselves.

Believe what you want.  Doesn't change reality.

Incidentally, did I read your original post correctly?  You served from 2002-2004?  What coast?

You might be wise to quickly reconsider your evident assumption that you're the only person here who has served.

Oh, nevermind.

I think we have to re-shuffle the meanings for "hero" with "attitude problem".  It's a special kind of jerk off who uses their service as an entitlement to be unquestionable.

or to perpetuate racial slurs based on geographic location and skin color.

hell, language is a much better birthing ground for divisive stereotypes.  

[EDIT] and overcoming language barriers is, IMO, the best way to erase perceived differences.

Oh, sorry, it says 2000-2004.

And your profile says you're 30, but now you're in your 40s?

2000-2004 but I don't want to relive those experiences here on the internet or anywhere else. I now realize how touchy this subject is and how quickly things can get out of hand. The topic was half serious and half joke but I'm sorry for bringing it up guys.

So, you risked your life for our freedom to have government agencies tell us what freedoms we deserve?

also, "sand nags"? really? You could at least have the balls to be openly racist and call them "sand niggers" like you obviously wanted to.

There was this Marine general, went by the name Smedley Butler.  He spelled out what a soldier's actual job was, way the hell back in the 20s and 30s.

It has nothing to do with defending the territory of the USA (which hasn't been seriously threatened in almost exactly 200 years), or freedom (Which we willfully give up every time someone wraps themself in the flag).

I can post the relevant bits of what he had to say, if you like.

Blind obedience is the new freedom.

For the record, which half was serious, and which half was a joke?
The willing abandonment of the fourth amendment, or the outright racism?

[Semper Fi]

I'm only racist against those who wish harm upon me, my family, and my fellow Americans? Is this hate not justified?

I'd like a little elucidation on this post. For instance, how are invasive searches in the best interest of your fellow Americans, and what do you mean by "to [sic] much SAND in their vagina to do so themselves"?

Sorry, bucko, you don't get to dodge that easily.

"I had some distressing wartime experiences that I don't want to bring up" doesn't really jibe with "I served to defend your freedoms so that gives me the right to make racist statements and tell you that you should be happy that the Air Gestapo is keeping you safe from people with unusual genitals."
