Lol, enjoy this time of your life kid. You'll never be able to be so naive or optimistic about the world again. Just remember that you can make that statement because someone gave their life for you to do it.

I served in the Navy from 2002-2006, working in data collection. I deployed on a variety of USN ships helping to ensure safety of the platform in the 7th fleet AOR. Even though I was stationed in Hawaii, I spent half my time in Japan, Singapore, or the Philippines. Definitely one of the most amazing times of my life.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I don't think your opinion is wrong. I just think it's the result of your age, lack of experience, and ignorance about both the world and the nature of force as a means of expressing political will. Opinions can't be wrong - they are opinions.

Oh boy here we go with the age argument. You don't know who I am or what I've done so you make a biased opinion about me because of my age. I said ""I" don't believe in glorifying murders" You can think whatever you want, but War is not something I agree with neither is taking someone's life. The modern generalization of a "War Veteran" is a soldier that goes into War and kills people for your country. That is not okay with me and I won't be giving thanks to everyone who is in the Army right now fighting people who live in deserts for 10 years over nothing of importance.

Consider this the warning I spoke of earlier. This is the final warning before official warnings and or bannings begin.

Thanks to all of the veterans here on Racketboy! Your service is much appreciated to those who understand what you've gone through!

My aunt and uncle were in the Navy for a while. My Grandpa was in the Dutch Army a long time ago, but I don't know if that qualifies him as a veteran here. :?

Yeah, I'm getting attacked by members for stating my opinion. My bad bro, sorry for defending myself.
