What have critics done for country?

As the current war in Iraq becomes increasingly unpopular, some of our citizens again turn on the military to express their displeasure. It is a shame that a country created by the people and for the people should be so lazy that some of us hold the military responsible for their displeasure rather than perform their own duties of citizenship and hold our elected officials responsible.

Freedom is not free; just visit any battlefield from any war. Citizenship can not be taken for granted; it requires each of us to do our part. What have you done for your country?
