1. I agree

I realize it is "patriotically incorrect", but I also dislike it when they say soldiers in Iraq are "fighting for our freedom or defending our freedom" - what boulderdash. Our freedoms were never in jeopardy because of Iraq or Saddam Hussein.

The only war we had in the past 100 years where we truly were defending our Freedoms was World War II - all the others were defending (or attempting to) OTHER people's freedoms - a noble idea still, but it always seems to morph into "defeding our freedoms".
