Out.

Do you know anything firsthand of war or do you just hear about it in the media? I do agree that ALL people are equal. I even tried explaining this, through an interpreter, to local children in the villages I would patrol. I don't see anything about American lives being worth more than any other.
I must ask again about what you know that I don't. What makes you able to pass down judgment on, ultimately, the American soldiers, and even some of your own British soldiers whom I have had the privilege of working with. It is easy to judge when sitting in the comfort of your own living room, having never put your life on the line for your nation AND for others, or am I wrong, and you are a combat veteran like me.
I am still at a loss that you would turn a "Thank You" thread into anything else. I expect posts like your original on YouTube, not here.


Edit...
It still effects me deeply that another country has sent us such a beautiful gift. Simply incredible. Has it been since the Statue of Liberty that the US has received a monument/statue from another country?
