tec....thanks but I know what a thought process is. Perhaps I wan't clear. I want to know what wonderful insight into my thought process was gained by reading my previous statement.
SecretMethod...by "leadership" I was referring to those in the military. Granted, the prez and the sec. of defense have great influence on where, when, and if military action is taken, but where I serve is not immediately determined by either one of them, but by military brass.
and the gov't is not there to serve you. It is there to protect you and your way of life. But the government can not do that alone, for the gov't is made of the people, by the people, and for the people as you so eloquently quoted. So it is up to the people to stand up when they are asked, without question. That is why we have elected officials, so they can make those decisions for us. It's called delegating. You can't have it both ways. You can't participate in the democratic process and when it doesn't work out the way you like you can't just go about refusing to follow the rules.
