Now a days I don't see the same quality in the USA as these proud men had. Granted that a good part of the world hold a huge debt to the USA, it's not to this generation of Amercians they hold this debt but to your grand fathers & grand mothers.

It is sad to think that it would be a popular view to be anti-america. I understand that there are less people willing to put everything on the line for this country but I am in a line of work that sees many military deployments and many dedicated americans. I think the vast majority of those that bash us here and abroad are the ones that take for granted what is given to them by America. These are the same people that have not worked a day in their life and expect a welfare check. People that come here and contribute nothing but to further burden our society. Granted there are people that come here and do their part and work hard, pay taxes, contribute. There are also people that were born here and do the same things to burden us. This is all first hand knowledge not conjecture again based on my line of work.
