Apparently, you missed the "jingoistic" point of my comment.
Being the good "fanatically patriotic" (jingoistic, as defined by
whatever dictionary you wish to use or this one
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=jingoistic ),
I'll explain that if it wasn't for our military, we'd all be speaking
German, or any other of a number of languages of countries who would
have had no qualms in conquering this great land if it was not
defended....paraphrased from the popular bumper sticker:
"If you can read this, thank a teacher...if it's in English, thank a
Soldier"
And by the way, Brian...I am VERY patriotic, and am NEVER embarrassed by
that. I believe in the United States of America...if that is
"jingoistic", then I need a freakin Tee Shirt that says so.
Heyyyyyy...being the Capitalistic state that it is, I could make some
cash on that too!!
