Measles Outbreak at Vaccine-Denying Church

[Mister Agenda]

What are you a nazi? When did "freedom" mean we all must think as you do?

It means we can all say what we want, it doesn't mean you get to be free from criticism or animosity.

When did serving this country entitle you to more "freedom" than anyone else.

Never. It's just a fact that a lot of Americans have a tendency to get a bit riled when you smear the troops. If you think it's OK with God to do it, that's your business, just as it's our business to respond to your allegations about them.

If you are going to wave the flag and soap box about what you've done to give me the right to say that I think then, have the courtesy to let me speak. Or be labeled a hypocrite.

No one is stopping you from speaking, you pathetic whiner.

To say every man and woman who has ever served in the military is a hero is a lie.

It's factually incorrect and no one here has claimed they are. But I can see why you'd want to make up something to go after rather than deal with what we're really saying.

There are pretenders out there who do not deserve the same honors as our combat vets, and when they take those honors or repersent the selfs as the honorable men and women who actually put themselves in harms way then something needs to be said, the line needs to be redrawn, again to seperate posers from the actually men and women who serve on the front lines.

You can't identify such people by glancing at a photograph. The charitable thing would be to assume they're truthful until proven otherwise, but clearly, being charitable is not something you value.

Not the support troops do not deserve honor or distinction. They are not to be held in the same light even amongst themselves as those who actually fight and die for this country. To do so robs the men who have fought and died of the honor due them. They can not speak against this dishonorable practice, so I will.. Even if it ruffles the feathers of a few a-holes who think their service to this country calls for the personal worship of every man woman and child, no matter what they did.
(Good or bad)

The 'dishonorable practice' is something you made up. You saw something and didn't like the implications of it being true so you made up a story about the people in the photo entirely out of whole cloth to justify calling them 'd-bags'. Now THAT is a dishonorable practice.

The simple fact is not every man who serves this country is a hero. Some are the exact opposite.

You can't tell who isn't a hero by their photograph.

To stereotype everyone on the works and actions of a few is not right.

Even if they're not heroes, they volunteered to serve their country in any capacity required of them. They all deserve the benefit of the doubt until there's actual evidence they have failed in their duty.

In that way all secondary troops should be willing to set a place of honor above and beyond the honor due them for those combat troops who stand between them and the bad guys as well, not take the honor from those men and award it to themselves.

You don't know they're secondary troops. You made that up, for the sole purpose of allowing yourself to feel entitled to disrespect them. Look where you find yourself: advocating for a presumption of guilt for soldiers on the basis of 'they can't all be heroes'. What has brought you here is an inability to admit you're wrong about anything.

And someone who can't admit when they're wrong should not be trusted to say the truth because they can't be trusted to know it if it bites them on the ass.
