I did not serve in the military but most of my family have including my sister, my brother, my brother-in-law and my husband. My father died in Vietnam. Family members of soldiers are, in a way, a part of the military also because it is the family who ultimately suffer when their loved ones don't come home.

I think that everyone hopes no one suffers another terrorist attack. Why did you put the word dirty in quotation marks?

2/3's of my family have or is currently serving, so how am I wrong? Everything I have said here has been taken from the feelings and thoughts of those who have served in active combat. Or is it your beliefs that only atheist serve this country?

That's more of an Israeli/China/North Korean thing.

Stereo typing/pushing free speech to see if you all (actually who among you) are as hypocritical as the French on matters of free speech.

What are you talking about? If you want to start a thread asking about France's speech laws you can do that. If you want to say obnoxious, insensitive things about the French you can do that also but because you aren't the only one with free speech others can call you out.
I am still not certain what your point is?

Yeah, and they were right. So much for freedom fries.

And you don't see their actions of jailing muslims for speaking in support of the C Hebdo shooting as being over reactive? These muslims were charged with activly supporting a terrorist act?!?
Not to mention from these 13 deaths they are doing the very same thing they blasted us for with our patriot act.

Not till I get one from mine. Do you think that people who serve in the military are better than those who don't?
You said no but everything you've said since that no would indicate yes.

Incidentally, French Fries are actually Belgian. Over here we just call them chips (no, not Belgians).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Do you realize how absurd this is? No, of course you don't.
Did you think you'd just make a thread and say some stupid ass shit, baiting us into, what---saying you shouldn't say stupid ass shit? Well, Drich, you should stop saying stupid ass shit. There.
Guess what, that is not a hamper on your freedom of speech. Not even a little. Freedom of speech doesn't mean we all just say what we want to an no one says anything back. Freedom of speech just means that people don't harm you, threaten to harm you, or detain you based on the things you say, so long as those things don't put others in immediate danger (yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater, or "Bomb" on a plane.)
If you say stupid ass shit, as is your wont, then you will continue to be called out.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
