Jamie Dimon and his tribe are fucking up the world, but Dimon is less likely to be ordered to shoot me in the face for being a "domestic terrorist" or some shit.
I acknowledge the good intentions that some soldiers may have, but I don't see it as "service" to me or my country. I'm not a UNITED STATES person anyway. I'm a Kentuckian.
But I see what you're saying... It's sad. But perhaps it shows how the US treats its pawns (Kissinger term), and may discourage others from becoming cannon fodder for tyrants.

Maybe he does know, maybe he doesn't, but what about his kids; most kids don't learn the difference until later in life and are happier with presents and would feel sad when their friends get presents and they don't. Unless you don't practice giving presents since they were toddlers, but c'mon most parents aren't going that extreme, could you regard that his mistake was teaching his kids to receive presents was the wrong thing to do in the 1st place? Sure but if those were his religious beliefs, I don't see anything wrong, but you do bring a good point as well.
