As a former Marine, I can tell you that American's "rights" are not being protected in this war.
Is America facing an infiltration and take over of the country, thus taking away our rights? No.
They want us dead, so yeah, we'll fight for our right to live. But I really don't think that if we left Iraq and Afghanistan, we'd lose our freedom of speech.report abuse
