Dear Moby, I am a disabled veteran of the Marine Corps and to be honest with you sometimes I regret it. Not in a bad way please don’t get me wrong cause I am very proud of who I am and what I have accomplished. It makes me sad that we used to be one of the most feared forces in the world and now we are becoming a joke! We used to fight for our freedom and rights but now I don’t know what the heck we are fighting for anymore. Wait I know it is for other countries freedom and rights! How can our government help other countries when they can’t even get it together on our own home soil. Sometimes it seems to me that our government wants us to be like all the other countries where the government runs everything. Whatever happened to that famous saying “WE THE PEOPLE”? Our founding four fathers are probably rolling over in their graves right now at how this country has went from where the people had a say in the government to where it is today. I remember when we said the pledge in school and prayed. Heck you can’t even pray in public or have you bible with you where ever you go with out getting fired, kicked out of school, or ridiculed in public. They have even taken the 10 most important laws ever out of our court rooms, so how can they expect to punish someone for a crime if they are throwing out our laws? I am terrified to see what the world becomes as my kids get older because the government is taking over our lives. That was the whole reason this country was founded to begin with was because the people was being told by the government what they can and can’t do. Finally they had enough and stood up for what they believed in and now some people are to scared to say anything. If we are not careful America we will end up just like Iraq. We need to stand up for what we believe and take back what is ours, OUR FREEDOM AND RIGHTS!!!! Semper Fi and God Bless the USA! David Pierce David, I can’t say thank you loudly enough for your service. Like you, I bow my head and weep for what appears to be the future of this greatest of all nations. Where have the leaders gone that understand?
