“…just lower your trousers and bend over. Friends?”… “Oh. You are going to go with that line, are you? I’m Danish.”

Well…there ya go.

“Btw. Just today another Danish soldier was killed in Afghanistan. Denmark has the highest number of killed soldiers compared to population size. And yet nobody is talking about withdrawing. Guess we must really like being America’s bitch up here.”

American’s are dying for America, and Danes are dying for Denmark. The price of freedom is a lot higher than the fees Denmark has paid to date.

We Americans do appreciate the service of our allies, in pursuit of freedom. However, we’ve pretty much shouldered that load for a long, long time. And, in dealing with our Soldiers and Marines, we don’t see them as “them”. They are individuals, every son, father, brother, and yeah, some daughters too. You can’t begin to appreciate the grief true American patriots experience for every one of these kids killed or maimed. I’m on THOSE front lines neat Camp Pendleton, CA. My family has had two to three dozen Marines in our home in the past 12 months.

I’d go back into uniform in a split second if called, and send my 20 year old son as well, to defend freedom, even in places like Iraq and Georgia. I believe that projecting power forward offensively is a better idea for victory than defending freedom as bombs explode in American cities.

Danes can be anyone’s “bitches”, but I expect that your men in uniform don’t see it quite that way. I doubt that you’re the sort of Dane to put on a uniform and go in harms way, are you? Nuff said.
