Something else Boats - with sincere respect,
The checks and balances are way out of kilter, and these Patriot Files threads and forums are absolutely FILLED with the evidence, as if any more was needed.
We just are not gonna get along as well anymore asking God to bless what America is doing, and has done, to itself, mainly.
The thread you responded to dealt with Veteran appreciation, and was nothing more than a simple public record of the sacrifice of life we honor, recount, celebrate and mourn on these pages.
The issue looms ahead; our wars waged for whatever reason, have not and will not have achieved security at homenor peace abroad.
History is replete with the names of great nations and governments who had once been unimaginably wealthy and strong... who are now mere shadows of their former selves:
Egypt, France, Mesopotamia, Inca, Germany, Greece, Lakota, Rome, Ottoman, Aztec, Persia, Great Britain, Soviet Union, Anasazi, Spain... it is a very long list, and America could very easily slip into it if it has not done so already. We are on the cusp.
What is common to all those failed dynasties?
Violence, greed and arrogance.
