Country and Support

So maybe I'm the only one picking up on this, but why has there been such a steady decline in support for our country and troops. It seems like lately there's numerous people complaining about America or our troops. Now if this was coming from another country, I wouldn't pay attention to it, however it's coming from our own citizens. Don't get me wrong at times there have been mistakes made, but lets face it, we're all human so naturally we're going to make mistakes every once in a while. I just don't get how people can live in this country and then constantly criticize it. If you think somewhere else is so great to live, by all means feel free to live there. What happened to the days where it didn't take a tragedy or the Fourth of July for people to fly the American Flag outside their home? Is it just that people have such a short attention span now that they forget about Osama? You know what? Fine lets forget about him, pull out of the Middle East and give him a couple years so he can attack us again. I mean come on, whats a few thousand lives. As for the people that talk shit about our troops, (politically incorrect warning) GO FUCK YOURSELVES! My husband, our friends and hell even people Idon't know but STILL RESPECT are out there risking their lives to keep yours alive and able to say those things. It makes me wonder if sometimes people take their rights for granted, or at least abuse them. Like the "preacher" from Kansas that protests soldiers funerals. I swear if I was one of those wives, he would not be alive. I would gladly spend the rest of my days in jail for killing him and all of his followers. I don't have a problem with protesters, as long as there is some basis for their protests. I could go on for days about grievances but I'll sum it up...

If your loved ones are at home safe and sound every night, and you don't feel like you're in danger every waking second of every day because a bomb might drop on your house, thank a soldier and think before you speak. Take a step back and realize exactly how lucky you are to live in this great country. Oh yeah and stop moaning about things that need to be fixed and actually fix them.
