LOL I saw the thread title and thought
"oh shit, a few people are going to drop their "2 cents" and it will end up being people aruging over wether the war is just, or weather the soldiers even deserve praise at all..."
turns out I was exactly right
bottom line is, the guys in iraq get shot at... you dont..... they serve under the military... you probably dont
even if cops are assholes in general, you still gotta respect their call to duty & the fact that they continue to show up for work... the same principle goes with soldiers in iraq... weather they signed up for it or not,
thank them for their service and keep smoking your weed in the country that hasn't been invaded since the revolutionary war.
