sounds like no one really knows. There are reports of drunken US soldiers out about the town that night, but that doesn't mean there were multiple shooters? We'll probably find out more over the next couple of days.
I know I just about lost it when I read that-- I think he's misinformed.
The idea of having freedom and the liberty to pursue success and prosperity is...pathetic! useless! Tell my Grandpa how pathetic and useless he is...
"Because that notebook is what was available at the five-and-dime in Huron, South Dakota, when Mansour Karim went looking for a ledger in which to track expenses – his very first step toward becoming the successful engineer and businessman who has now given away nearly $1.5 million to charity, according to the Pierre Area Charitable Organization, which honored Karim as Pierre’s Philanthropist of the Year in 2011.
But that was all far in the future when Mansour Karim arrived on Nov. 28, 1950, with $27 in his pocket – five $5 bills with President Abraham Lincoln’s portrait on them and two more bills with George Washington’s face on them – and an iron resolve not to spend any more than he took in..."

I'm pretty sure you're using the word protectionism wrong. I'd like to say that I understood what you were trying to say anyway, but I didn't.
Are you saying that soldiers are not heros because they go into the army by choice?
you're going to get a lot of quote replies and I'm not going to go off the deep end in mine- but this argument isn't very valid.
If someone saves people from a burning building, or drowning, they do so by choice-- they don't have someone drawing their name out of a hat and then forcing them to go into the burning house.
Just seems like your argument should be the other way around, as the other poster said. Someone who is willing and volunteers to go into battle is being selfless.
Also, not everyone in the military signed up for this war. Many were in the military prior to the onset of this war-- they do what their country asks of them- regardless of what that might be.
Soldiers who go into the army with the mindset that they want to protect and serve are heroes, and they do what is asked of them because that's the promise that they made. They have to believe that what they're doing is right- because they've put their trust in the U.S. government to send them only on missions that protect and serve our country. If the mission they're on isn't for the good of our country, their country is to blame for sending them there.
once again, none of this really has anything to do with what I was saying. So nevermind.
All of your posts are starting to say the same thing. And seriously, you just keep implying that all of our soldiers chose to partake in the current war. That isn't true nor is it what I'm arguing. The U.S. military did exist prior to this war, you know.
Your argument is about whether or not someone fighting the current war is a hero-- mine was about whether or not soldiers are heroes. So we aren't really arguing the same thing= pointless to go back and forth.
Whether or not someone is a hero is mostly subjective anyway, so we just have different opinions, that's all.
I never said no one cares, shit happens, or anything along those lines so stop replying to me with arguments/statements that have nothing to do with me.
