People not signing the Appreciation (for whatever reason) make you sick? Fine, then you're on my list of reasons why I don't want to just thank ANY member of the American army.
Thanks for putting words in my mouth. I never said people who don't want to sign it make me sick. If you don't want to sign it, then that's fine. You think that signing it is a signal to the US gov that you agree with an Iraq invasion, then that's fine too. I never condemned you for not wanting to sign the thank you card.

I don't fail to see the need for military. My points of view on why you need an army are slightly different than yours, though. I asked a question, and only one or two people were able to give me a satisfiying answer. And I still stand by my point of not signing the Appreciation. Ridiculous or not. You're in the army, you claim to be one of the people 'defending Americans' freedom'... but you're only willing to defend your own point of freedom. Isn't freedom also about having an own opinion?
How can you assume that you know what my views are? Either way, I'm not 'only willing to defend my own point of freedom'. The whole premise of freedom is the ability of each and every individual to have and voice their own opinion. That is what I believe in. Don't presume to know what I will and will not put my life on the line for.

If your country were invaded (sorry I can't see your flag right now) and your freedom was being threatened...I'd be more than happy to hop on a boat, and get my ass over there so I could do some good. That is what I'm willing to defend.

The "make me sick" comment was directed towards those who portray the US military as a bunch of warmongers bent on imposing our own will on everyone in the world. Its damn disrespectful to anyone who's ever fought or served for what they believe in.
Not whether or not you signed the damn card.
