Who the fuck ever told you that your freedom comes from the military? The military DEFENDS your freedom from outside threats. Your level of freedom and whether you can maintain it is up to YOU. That is your responsibility as a U.S. citizen. If you don’t vote, write to your representatives (whether they were the ones you wanted or not), get active in politics and your community, speak out and protest when you see something is wrong, then it is your fault if you feel like you don’t have freedom.
No one said keeping constant vigil of your freedoms was an easy job, but don’t go online and shit on the soldiers, sailors and airmen who step up when you clearly won’t.
