The importance of military service in America

Those who can serve, should.  It's really as simple as that, however some saw fit to be deceitful and stretch the boundaries of reality as it relates to they're military service.  Commendations are in order for those who honorably served they're country.  It is a dishonor to those who served to deceitfully puff up your military service in order to make yourself appear more qualified than you really are.  It matters not what you did as you served your country, but that you served your country admirably at all.  There is little need to make yourself appear bigger and badder than the next man or woman who has served they're country.  As important as it is, to have served this country as part of the armed services, it is just as important for those who cannot serve for whatever reason to respect the freedoms they enjoy because of the sacrifices of these brave men and women.  After September 11, 2001, I myself attempted to join the Army and applied for the 101st Airborne Infantry.  Like so many other Real Americans, I was mad as hell and was ready to serve my country.  Sadly, due to a visual impairment I have had since birth, I was going to be of little use to the United States Armed Forces in any fashion and thus I was given a medical exemption.  So, as a way to serve those who serve our country valiantly, I began participating in organizations that supported the military by sending care packages, and whatever support I could muster for our brave warriors overseas.  Linda McMahon's company also does much for our troops as part of the USO program.  The gratitude and appreciation shown by the men and women of the United States Armed Forces each and every year that World Wrestling Entertainment makes it's presence felt in the Middle East is the least WWE could do to repay the US Armed Forces for they're service, but in truth there is nothing can be done enough to truly thank those who serve.  For over 200 years, military service has been the heart of a true patriot and those who can serve surely deserve our respect, admiration and support.  You serve, you are a patriot, you support those who serve, you are still a patriot but to disgrace the honor of those who serve by being deceitful regarding your military service is unforgivable.  Lesser men have been arrested, tried and convicted for being dishonest regarding they're military service, but for a man in the position Dick Blumenthal is in, I guess he's above the rule of law.  He would fit perfectly in with the current Senators in Washington, his deception, partisan politics is right at home at Pennsylvania Avenue.  Is that what the voters of Connecticut really want?  Linda is different and she's ready to prove it.  She's a political outsider, someone who has built change for the last 50 years or so and is now ready to bring change to Washington.  She has the will, the inner strength and the knowledge to force change on a system that resists change at every turn.
