You mischaracterized what I said.
I said I would never put my life on the line for jackasses like you again. You and the rest of America do not warrant my sacrifice. That doesn't mean some citizens of some other country do. I hate most of my fellow Americans, but this is still the best place going anywhere in the world. Why don't you move to France to be among the people who think like you do?

Well, Buffy, I don't need to move to France to be among people who think like me. I think like a whole lot of the people you hate. And, at least with my limited public school education, I don't think I mischaracterized a fucking thing.
I just think it's patently hypocritical of you to want to see us over there killing bad guys to protect your happy ass when "...none of you deserve to have me put my life on the line for you."
I understand Torone ... I pity J'sdude. You revolt me. It disgusts me that my girlfriend's son is putting his ass on the line for McVeigh's in training such as the likes of you, but it comes with the package.

Honestly? Because none of you deserve to have me put my life on the line for you. You people consistently vote to strip away every vestige of freedom this country has left.
It's so funny when I read you and Labret lament the coming tyranny of the Patriot Act and such -- yet you can't make the association between owning the product of your own labor and freedom. If you do not own your own body and the product of your own labor, you are not free in any meaningful sense. You belong to someone else. Yet you're worried about unlawful searches or wiretaps. The government can take 100% of your income away and spend it on rocket fuel to launch a go-cart to Mars, but you're worried about Americans killing people who have sworn their lives to dying as martyrs trying to murder Americans.
I will never shed another drop of blood for you or anyone else. As much as I love combat and warfare and killing bad guys, the thought that I might die to protect your right to sell your freedoms away makes me sick.
