Uhh those soldiers you just took a shot at are Americans.

Now the outsourced groups such as Blackwater use soldiers from around the globe...just making sure you actually know the difference here

A lot of those soldiers are not American.


Some of them don't speak much English at all, in fact.

So what in your vast life experience supports the fact that the rest of the world is more motivated? Based on studies I've seen, Americans still work the longest (most hours per week), hardest, and achieve the most output per hour worked than just about any other country.

Sure, the cool thing is to blame the average American for not wanting to do agricultural labor, but frankly, we don't live in an largely agricultural society more... atleast outside of the midwest.

Have YOU worked in a union plant? It's not an 8-hour workday by any means.

I imagine the workday in China or India involves more actual work. i.e. the countries we are competing against.

Let's see these studies, and who conducted them.

yeah how about the fact that our military is 100% voluntary

i.e. republicans (not necessarily conservatives, those are far and few between)
i dont think that republicans in general believe that they are entitled to anything as Americans. I think most of us believe that we do live in the greatest country in the world and that we have the opportunity for success IF WE WORK FOR IT.

This idea that everybody is entitled to the same shit, regardless of their output and initiative is pretty far from a republican/conservative ideal.
