Rebel, I applaud most of what you say. Still, willingness of soldiers to fight and die for their country will not make that country free or great
if the country's laws do not allow freedom or greatness. [The ones who flew the planes into the towers were willing to die for their beliefs, too!]

I am very troubled when I sometimes see the same people waving the flag (literally and/or figuratively) while at the same time calling for abandoning the Bill of Rights.
