your pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness comes at the expense of those who are dying for it === That is a sentiment that is often expressed but I don't see the basis of it. I was born in 1962 so during my lifetime we've had a number of wars during which various numbers of U.S. military died ... I don't see how anyone can argue that those people died for my life, liberty and happiness in any way, shape or form. The strongest argument would be with respect to Afghanistan, but the people there represented a very minor threat to me and in any case my idea was to bomb the living **** out of them and come home, not to occupy the nation for a decade. We could engage in endless argument over what those wars were really about, but I feel absolutely certain they were not about my life, liberty and happiness.
