This country isn't the freest country. Maybe back then it was, but not anymore. I go to other countries, and they are as free as this one, even freer. Spain is much more liberal than the united states, and the Dominican Republic, is just as free (if not freer) than the United States. They haven't seen a war for YEARS. We aren't fighting for our freedom, we are fighting for our reputation, for vengance, and for other countries. No one is trying to take over the United States. Keeping our liberty and freedom is basically up to the government, and we don't have to fight for that. By going to war i'm not defending freedom, i'm helping get revenge, and make this country look good. I'm not going to get killed so a country can look like a hero. As long as the President keeps this country free, we have nothing to fight for. Freedom and war, in this case, aren't synonimous.
