Ok Pyro,
For me... it's like this...
I have never served in the United States Military, instead I decided to go to school and get my masters degree in architecture. In a round-about way it is because of our government I had the freedom to choose that path. I wasnt forced to become a baker, or work in a steel mill. I was able to choose my own path because others had spilled thier blood. My country provided me with federal loans and protected my intrests while studying abroad. I am able to worship what ever religion I choose and speak my mind in public (within reason of course.) For me these freedoms allow happiness.
Out of simple good faith I like to think that any decisions the US makes are in the best interest of the United States and rest of the world. I don't necessarly agree with detail that occurs overseas, but i do support all of the general conceptual intents. Eliminate those who prevent the right of happiness. Our ancestors fought and died to gain independance and defend the values of the constitution. I personally believe my children, my countrymen and the people of any foriegn land deserve those same freedoms... This is why; if my country requested my presence in combat I would server without hesitation.
