Americans vs. U.S.

Just touching base about my/our boys in the service.
Seems the Army Medic just found that he will probably be deployed to Afghanixtan after finishing his training.
Which is in line with what I was telling him.
The other boy/young man is a Marine. which means he will be deployed to Afghanistan after he finishes his training.
As I told them, our government, the U.S., does not now, nor has it for decades, feel ANY responsibility to or for our servicemen and women. They will gladly use them and throw them away without thought of duty or honor on THEIR part, while demanding same from our friends and family wearing the uniforms.
It is this history of pseudo-aristocratic insularity from consequences and or responsibility that has burst my bubble about our country.
Their is no people in the history of the world that has volunteered more, given up more, risked more for the greater good than the people of America. Americans! Not the U.S.
Whenever, whereever or whatever the emergency is, Americans will be there. Helping, volunteering, risking their lives and health.
Giving up their time, money, property. To help others in need. And it doesn't matter what country, season or direction. They are always our front when the call goes out for help and volunteers.
That is why I fly the flag, and salute it when it goes by. The people of this land are our strength and the source of our pride.
Not this greasy, graft ridden, grossly overpaid, golden parachuted, insulated from responsibility pseudo-aristocratic society of the haves that has landed in our government.
Salute the Real Americans, black, brown, red white, oriental who put themselves out there for their neighbors and others. No matter what their religion, color, origin these are the real America now.
Celebrate this. Rx
