I pity the Americans who have served and sometimes died for our country. I think they're often put in harms way needlessly. I wish none of them would have died for anyone's agenda. I don't "respect" them simply because they are military. People join the military for a multitude of reasons, many of which have nothing to do with noble causes. People join the military to get away from their parents (my dad), to escape looming debt (a good friend), to make money for college (lots), etc. None of those reasons has anything to do with patriotism. Does that garner my respect? No.
