I don't believe that any freedom in America is being protected from attack by the US military. CMV

I've got a spate of facebook posts on my feed about giving thanks to those who can't enjoy dinner with their families and unwrap gifts because they're busy fighting for our freedom to do so. This got me thinking and wondering how the freedom to enjoy Christmas dinner with my family is at risk. I can't think of anything I've heard in the news that leads me to believe we're in danger of being occupied by an oppressive regime being kept at bay by the military.  To me, it's a statement that many people repeat and we're not supposed to question lest we been seen as unpatriotic.

I'm willing to admit that I don't have enough knowledge on the subject to make a concrete declaration one way or the other, but I hear about how our freedom is safe thanks to all the military action going on right now and can't think of any way that seems likely.

This is not the only way for your freedoms to be impinged upon. For instance, the US Navy is responsible for keeping shipping lanes secure throughout the world, ensuring your economic freedom to trade with other countries. You need not fear missile strikes from rogue nations because of the vigilance of US military missile defense operators throughout the world.

It is easy to get mired in the "Well, what has that soldier deployed in a shitty desert country done for me lately?" of it all, but you don't even need to look that deep to see how your individual freedom is secured by the United States' force projection throughout the world.

Question that shit all you want, if someone looks down on you for asking "Why?", fuck 'em.
