[4:]Self preservation?

I got kicked out of the ARMY for telling that to my drill sergeant. Are you telling me that our federal government representatives don't have our best interests in mind?
That sounds like terrorist talk to me. What are you, some sort of Randian terrorist? Would you seriously risk the death of 5 people because you thought you could save yourself? Next, you are probably going to tell me that Lance Cpl. Kyle Carpenter died in vain so that you could thank God for this dead soldier. You should go back to Westboro Baptist Church if you are going to be slinging those lies and hate. You aren't wanted over here.
