Mythical is an opinion.

Throwing out the religious war stat was an anciliary incindiary comment that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

...yeah I didn't think so either assholes.
What does telling them have to do with anything? Of course I wouldn't pile onto a grieving family's pain. It doesn't make it untrue. Would I tell your family that you were a worthless alcoholic at your funeral? I wouldn't, but you are. See how that works?

Stupid argument, even by your standards.

Perhaps it is incendiary but it seems relevant to the thread topic at hand...more people willing to die for something he considers a myth than a tangibly real thing like a person's native country.

I'm pretty sure those that fight for us are fighting for ALL of our rights, not just theirs.

Apparently the 1st Amendment only applies to our service men and women.

I would not die for anything except my family. Not any country, religion, nor any other bs establishment is worth my life.
