Do you really think you are worth the life of an American soldier? Damn straight you are. You can be a felon, a pervert, a fraud, a jerk, an ingrate or an ass; regardless, there is an American soldier who has or will put his/her life on the line for you. Maybe, you are a tax cheat, a card sharp, a grifter or a scamp - that same soldier will fight to the death for you. When an American soldier pledges their allegiance to the Republic "for which it stands", they vow to protect all Americans. Even deserters. Even murderers. Even rapists. Soldiers DO NOT discriminate. They protect us all.
