Now take a look at ur post, that is a baseless arguement. See the comparison...

Their EXISTENCE is the reason why u are not conquered and enslaved sir. The fact that not only would any attacking country be defeated, but horribly massaquered is reason why freedom of speech still exists. People sign up to serve and defend freedom, even though they dont even know u. And here we r in a crowd belittling their sacrifice. Their are soldiers out there right now hunting down Osama Bin Laden to bring him to justice, not just to prevent it from happening again, but also for the memories of all those innocent who died because of his actions.
First of all, let's pretend the United States gets rid of EVERY SINGLE soldier. I still do not believe that anyone in thier right mind would invade the United States of America.
Why? Well, let me tell you. We have an intercontinental missle system and a boatload of nukes. Invade America, get destroyed. Period. (And soldiers aren't doing the destroying.)

Also, your argument that the simple existance of soldiers is the root of my freedom is, well, extreme, and hardly applicable to any real life argument. So, I will counter your argument with an equally absurd argument that has no real merit in the real world. It goes a little something like this: If there were no soldiers at all, nobody would have the ability to invade us.

Also, do NOT get me started on the whole Osama thing.
Ok, Cloud i understand that there are bad people in the world, and yes some of them put on U.S. Armed Forces Uniforms, and go to work everyday, but its totally riddiculous to point to the few and far between instances of abuse and say that it was everyone, or to suggest every1 behaves as such.
Did he suggest that everyone behaves as such? No. Quit twisting his words.

To claim that the US Armed forces stand for abuses because a few soldiers commit them and are punished it like saying that every nation of the world stands for murder because it happens everywhere.
I don't recall anybody making such claims.
