Quoted from CICERO


Yes, dying in the desert or jungle 10,000 miles away from home, serving the government in power, and widowing your wife and leaving your children fatherless is quite the noble sacrifice.  Sometimes I wonder what the "warrior" is thinking when prioritizing their life.  I guess for some, family comes second to serving a president.


Cissy doesn't serve country or family... he serves himself alone. If it doesn't benefit Cissy, it has no value.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

So those that served in WWI and WWII and Korea and so on, they were just bad people who didn't care about anyone else but themselves....
Just because you are all about you and no one else, doesn't mean that is how reasonable, normal people live their life.
YOU ARE A SICK DEMENTED STUPID PERSON!!!!!

It's the mentality of losers and those that can't achieve...it's everyone else's fault and never theirs.....
it's because others achieved and receive and the losers don't...it's because lazy stupid people want it
all, without working for it, and hate everyone else that has worked for what they have and achieved.

I never said anybody was a "bad person".  My grandfather was in WWII, and he never thought of himself as a hero.  He hated his service and struggled with PTSD when he returned home.  He was also aware that the government lied and lied to the people at home when reporting what was going on in the war.  He was aware that the Soviet Union was the winner in WWII.  He enlisted to fight the Japanese that attacked Pearl Harbor and he ended up in the Arden Forest.

Imagine that.  He enlisted "to fight the Japanese"... and instead the Military put him where they NEEDED
HIM, not where he WANTED TO GO.  
How selfish of the Military!
sounds like the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Huh?  You're going off the rails again. Not worshiping "warriors" that kill at the direction of the president is the mentality of a loser?  How do you even draw that conclusion?

The only thing Cicero worships is Cicero.  Nothing else matters.

He didn't want to go anywhere but would rather have raised his family, not fight a European war.  Look at the battles against the Japanese during WWII...Battle of Midway, Battle of Iwo Jima, you don't see many European Allies involved.

But...If the military needed him there to fight a European War, who is he to question?  

A soldier is not to question why, he is just to do and die.

Off the rails is your specialty!  I have never claimed or used the word HERO in referring to me or anything I've done....
I do not wish to be worshipped or recognized as having done something special by doing what I felt was right
for me and was done for my reasons (not yours or those you think I bowed to)...that's FACT!
You choose to try and denigrate all veterans based on your own biased and less informed slim brain function. You think you know us but
you have not come close to understanding anything about us...you just want to apply your personal opinion, wrong as it is.

I never claimed you used the word HERO...Watch the video, it's the first post on this thread - that is where hero was used by a young boy talking to a Vietnam vet.

Your comprehension skills continue to fail you...read my post again....I was not saying that you made any claim.
I was stating my feelings and how you lump all veterans under one definition...YOURS!!!!!

so explain to me why being a soldier in a killing machine making minimum wage is a hero but someone making minimum wage
at some other sh!tty service job to support themselves is just a poor slob?


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I read it...I never said YOU SAID "hero".  My response was to the silly PR video.  You and box are responding to my posts as if I was talking directly to you.  Your defense of anything having to do with veterans, even if not directed toward you, you and box fly off the handle and get defensive as if it's directed toward you personally.

So it is your comprehension skills that continue to fail you. My post was in response to the video, not you.
