Where was your appreciative sentiment in the 90s when I spent most of my 20s patrolling the depths of our world's oceans while leaving behind a wife and kids? Appreciate the sentiments, my ass.
Who's intentions? What reason? How do you define 'good'? Good for me? Good for you? I suppose you are one of those yellow ribbon sporting idiots that think young Americans have died in the last decade for your freedom.
Any American can and should apologize for the crimes our government commits. And you pretend to have the moral authority to suggest I shouldn't.
You're a fucking disgrace.
I don't think that an entire society is responsible or accountable for the decisions made by its rulers or even supported by its majority. If you want to apologize for your government, then that's fine. But my only point is that there isn't a need to do so. Were you directly responsible for the atrocities commited? If not, then why are you apologizing?
