THIS IS A QUOTE FROM SOME KID LIVING IN CANADA AND MY RESPONSE IS BELOW. I AM SORRY I FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THIS AND EVERYONE IS ENITLED TO THEIR OPINION BUT WHEN OPINIONS START DEGRADING THE HARD WORK OF OTHERS I THINK IT IS NOT RIGHT.

MY RESPONSE
I see your living in canada huh. The only reason you dont live under an opressive regime like the **** germany of the ww2 era is because of the bravery of people like my grandfather. I am not pro war by any means but that statement you made is ****ing bull**** buddy. While you sit at home and type on your computer in the comfort of your canadian home millions of kids your age did not have the opportunity you did so they chose the armed forces. NO ONE chooses to go to iraq or afghanistan or vietnam or D day or germany etc. They are doing their duty protecting our freedoms. YOURS AND MINE. I am not saying i agree with the war in IRAQ but pieces of **** like you sitting on your couch talking boxing and who's their favorite boxer (hero) need to stop and think about what I am saying. Their are alot of boxers who in my opinion achieved hero status for thier accomplishments in and out of the ring, ALI being one. However, it was a choice of his to duck the draft and did not make him a hero. A martyr maybe, but not a hero. His work to achieve racial equality and his work for his people is what made him a hero in my eyes. Please people think before you write on this board because alot of our boys and girls are in the service and they are ****ING HEROES!!!!!!!!!
