I can't think of another country that so romanticizes military service like the U.S. does.Seriously, I definitely support our military personnel and supported going after Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda/Taliban, but I'm sick of the military hero worship. "Protecting our freedom" .... from goat and sheep farmers hiding in caves half a world away whose best 'attack on freedom' was flying planes into buildings 20 years ago ... I don't think our 'freedom' is really in jeopardy. Everybody knows people in the military, they are regular people doing a job they signed up for. They can be heroes or not. Just putting on a uniform when you're 18 doesn't make you a hero.
