    Most stadiums started playing it after 9/11, not just the New York ones.

    Some did change. Most are still idiots. Just my personal experience.

    Isn't it a little bit?

    What Pat Tillman sacrificed means a hell of a lot more to me than a guy who barely made it through high school, but likes the idea of getting to shoot a gun.

    Most of us would like to fix the VA hospitals. Most of us don't have the power. For most of us, all we can do is recognize the veterans (such as the ones in our families) for defending this increasing joke of a government. God knows why they do it, when they're going to get treated like this back home with 128-day waits for medical care.

    Born in the USA was a pro-war song?
    Go back and listen to the lyrics.

    How do you know what's in someone's head and heart when they tell a service man or woman, "thank you for your service."
    Worry about your own sincerity. It's the only one you''ll ever know about for sure.

    You don't know that. You can't know that. As I posted with someone else just a minute ago, worry about your sincerity. You don't know what's become a throwaway line. It's not for many, many people.

    Make your point and let's try to do it without the insults, unless you're incapable of reasonable discourse. I don't read the minds of the cool kids on the board you some of your profess the ability to do so.
