I don't think a person can consider himself a full citizen if he/she did not share the risk of defending his country.

How about when they seek to undermine those WHO ARE defending this country by trying to cast doubt about their mission and the cause for which they fight?

How about someone who would willfully choose to support totalitarian regimes engaged in acts of aggression against a democratic government?

You might be a citizen of the US Sarmad, but I seriously doubt your personal commitment to the ideals for which it stands, the most important of which is to defend the principles of its constitution on behalf of not only Americans, but also every person alive on this planet.

Because the US will always be an adversary of any government that refuses to be accountable to its own citizens and be subservient to the will of the majority of its people.

What you need to learn, IMO, is that even if you disagree with the policies of this nation, you have an obligation to support them and ensure that this nation is victorious over totalitarian ideals which threaten it.

Because regardless of whether you approve of the means related to how US foreign policy is implemented, all American have an obligation to honor the fact that we're ultimately engaged in trying to bring democracy to people who've never known it.

You cannot serve two masters Sarmad.. Democracy and Totalitarianism are mortal enemies and always will be.
