Can I say "I'm ashamed of the United States" to the world?
Find answers to your legal question.





Can I say "I'm ashamed of the United States" to the world?

Source: Served in the USA Military. Now ashamed of that. Why? The military (USA) starts wars on lies. (Look at Vietnam....Now look at Iraq) Why will the USA once again go down in shame?

yes you live in a democracy and have the right too. often my government does things I'm ashamed of. it happens in all countries.

Sure you can. You have that right because of all the soldiers that died in WW II, Korean War, Viet Nam and both Iraq Wars. Just don't do it in front of me. I'm a 75 year old woman , but I just might pick you up, throw you across my lap and beat your sorry butt. You're welcome.

You are wrong. But you can feel however you want and say what you want. We have real soldiers fighting to protect your rights.


Rawbert
You can say it.
But are you shaming the rest of us who've served and are serving?


Harvey
So...tell us a bit about you're military service (I think you're full of it). Our military doesn't start wars son...we fight them.

Typical "lib" BS...

Leave the country then if you feel so strongly about it...lets see how you feel then about living in America! You moron!!

You can but why should anyone listen?

You have nothing to be ashamed of for serving your country, assuming you served honorably. The military doesn't start the wars, our policymakers do.

Believe me, most of the countries you would visit in Europe play the same game. I have been all over Europe. The racism there is incredible. You don't think they are lying to us? To the World?

I think most of the time the U.S. makes mistakes with good intentions.

But for you to complain about the U.S. while abroad is tantamount to airing your family's problems to the neighbor or to a stranger. Shout it loud as you want here, protest to your hearts content, but say it where the changes can be made... here at home!


Big Timmy
Your right! So the next thing you should do is MOVE OUT, i suggest Iran, or Afgan, and Cuba. There are a lot of communists out there you could bond with. Dont forget China!

My guess is you never severed a day in any branch of the US military.


Just me
You can say that because it is America and we allow that. But that does not mean anyone will like you for it.

And I really doubt you ever served, or else you would not be so ignorant.


odysseus1959
Yes you can, then you must move to where you can make a difference. Only problem this that they don't want you either. All wars are started with lies. Does one think that FDR was popular with gold star mom's, you can't be that dumb. How about a whole town of troops being killed in one battle in the civil war, did they love Abe after that ? War is a horrorable thing, but talk has NEVER solved a thing, ask Arthur Neville Chamberlain, "peace in our life-time"

You can say whatever you want to, same as us.

Kim jong very ill is looking for a few good men.

He has killer parties. Say "Hi" for all of us.

yes you can but you can only say that because the united states has freedom of speech

Sure....Just stop whining so much. I would love to see the attitudes of some of you folks if you actually had to spend some time abroad.
I will take our country for all it's faults, over any in the world by a wide margin.
And I have done business with a lot of countries. And every time I do I thank God I live here. In most of those countries, you would be jailed for what you just said.
In America, you are free to say all the Idiotic ,Uninformed things you want, without reprisal.
Just look at your question as proof...

You can but what are you doing to fix it? Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

By the way, thanks for serving in the military. Whatever we may think of what our leaders are doing, we all owe the troops on the front lines a debt of gratitude.

Sure, you can say that..............as you hand your passport to the airline steward on your way off to another country to take up residency.

The military has NEVER started a war. What did you smoke to give that hallucination? The CIVILIAN leadership dictates where and when the military fights. If you never figured that out, don't blame the services, you were failed by the school system.

In any case, say what you want. It is one of the freedoms the military preserves for you. If you were an American that is. From your poor structure and ridiculous lack of language skills I'd say you were Mediterranean or middle eastern. Most of the other writers caught that too. Nice try, by nice I mean LOUSY try.

yes--in America, you have'freedom' of speech,and beliefs---without consideration as to whether you are "ABSOLUTELY RIGHT"="CORRECT",or,IF YOU ARE "ABSOLUTELY WRONG"= "INCORRECT"!!!


Christine H
Yeah. You can say that if it pleases you; but then you need to get to work and try making it a better place. In your case, you need to become politically active, learn the system, and run for office yourself. We don't have nearly enough vets in office.


Half-pint
Ya you can say that but at least you are in a country where you can say that about the government without being killed, tortured, imprisoned, or having your family and friends go through any of these choices with you.

Sure you can. We (military) gave idiots like you the freedom to say what you want.

Yes you can but the Patriotics and the Military soldiers wouldn't appreciated. Its your right but thats not cool to say you are ashamed of the whole United States if we go to war its not the fault of the people it's not even the soldiers fault it's our goverment's fault they have their independent agenda which does not involve's us. We can disagree with the Goverment all we want but if the goverments keep being as stubborn as Bush what can we do about it. It's a shame you feel that way.

I am ashamed, we are ashamed. You earn my respect, you served in the army. LavaDog however, that bast-rd thinks its a joke. USA will fall because of Bush and his voters. Why was Bush re-elected? That was one of the stupidest thing you americans have ever done.
