I think he's saying that not only is our military NOT fighting for our "freedom" by invading countries in this decade...but also that he wasn't fighting for our "freedom" in Vietnam when he was a young man.
Back then your ass got drafted and of course they drilled it into you that you were fighting for "America" and "freedom".
I think he's just pointing out the obvious. And I agree with him.
The U.S. hasn't been invaded and occupied since the war of 1812.
Every war has been our govt. sending troops to invade other countries.
We've all been taught and accept that WWI and WWII were "good" wars for us to enter. I have no reason to think otherwise (as if a war can be a good thing).
Korea...a little more "iffy" in my opinion.
And everything from Vietnam forward has been pure bullshit.
Not on the part of the troops. But on the part of the men sitting in Washington D.C.
