[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4318038, member: 45773"] I was a cop from 1989 to 2003...almost 15 years. I left because I didn't like what the job was turning into. I can feel your pain on that. Change? That sounds exactly what I, and millions like me, tried to do. But somehow it was wrong when we did it? For the sake of your children I hope it doesn't come. Compromise is a part of almost everything a man does. Not everything is gonna go your way so you figure a work-around. You make compromises, big and small, nearly every single day. And if you're a history buff, you should know you don't live under a truly oppressive government. Of course, to realize that it would force you to abandon your emotion and look at things objectively. I have hills I'm willing to die on, believe me. A government coming for my family would be one. But we're not there as a society...not even close. That may be a motivator for you...but it isn't reality. You've said you vote. I'm assuming you vote for the candidate that best mirrors the way you see things. I think most people do that. There's no perfect candidate...yet you vote anyway. That's what I did. But again, it's OK when you do it, but I was wrong for doing it that way. And again... That's what I've done. I've worked hard, raised my kids, did what I thought was right and I'm enjoying the twilight of my life. And, yes...we pray for the best but prepare to the best of our ability for the worst. That's why we live the life we do, where we do. LOL... Damn! Who knew that's all it would take is just to declare victory over communism. I'm guessing Russia (a country that really didn't completely give up on communism) and her nukes had a say, and still do. Oh...and so do the Chinese...to an even greater extent. Someone needs to declare victory so we can end the Chinese threat now! One of the last things we need is a less capable military. Because as is the case with everything, the other side gets a vote in how things play out just like we do. I'm all for not getting involved in every conflict that comes along and I think we've seen enough war for a long while. But one of the best ways to insure hostile governments keep their distance is by having a military with capabilities the other side can't begin to match. [/QUOTE]
