Do soldiers fight for a flag, or what it represents?

[Русский агент]

When people were sick of being overtaxed by the Britts the US flag was born, it has been the symbol that preserved freedom Worldwide since it has existed. The Commie Pinko faggots in the NFL are to fucking comatose and braindead to know that the US flag is what Lincoln handed to Grant as he told him to burn the South plantations and not come back until every man woman and child were free. You have no concept of either history or current reality, which is why you exist in the way that you do

Yada yada.

You have no idea why each individual chose to enlist or fight, now, or ever.

You only know why a few said they fought, which isn't the same thing.

Even if they articulate some lofty patriotic-sounding slogan there's no way for anyone else to know if it's the motivating factor or not. Some people serve because they can't get a better opportunity, some because it's a generational family tradition.

The reasons for enlisting are as diverse as the individuals who serve. It's ridiculous to assume that every service-person made their life choices for a slogan.

I suspect that most have a multitude of reasons for serving, none of which are public knowledge.

This is a silly thread from a silly man.

The only thing you hit on is your cigarettes, inhale deep because it's good for you

It's not trolling. It's just going to the heart of what it means to be American.

Nothing is really being said that I didn't know, but I think it's an interesting discussion.

Fair enough and I take back what I said. You showed your stance in post #10.

Little Thingy shows his silly stance every time he posts silly threads like this one.

It been over 11 months since the election, and he's still unable to move on.

PEOPLE PLAY THEM TO MAKE MONEY, PEOPLE OWN THOSE TEAMS TO MAKE MONEY, PEOPLE BET ON THEM TO MAKE MONEY-IT HAS NOTHING WHAT SO FUCKING EVER TO DO W/ A FLAGS....

Says the guy who ran to Canada. One can just make this shit up, seriously.

Yes, I ran to Canada as child. To dodge the draft in 1980.

All you had to do was wear your panties to your physical and they would have sent you home

[liberalsAREracists]

you must be a russian RM

You mean like these two guys?

[Amadeus]

not "cloth" that is a debasement of the flag "and for which it stands"

Would you say wearing or brandishing the Confederate flag honors the American flag?

I'm glad we all agree the flag represents something.....the rest is moot.....
