But to me it is far more plausible to say he is mocking political leaders.

So, props to the brave Marines. But I have little use for the decision to send more Marines to die for no reason.

Also, I think freedom is the most precious thing we have (hardly "trite and uninteresting") ...Perhaps this is why I oppose wars that represent one of the greatest threats to the freedom you and I share...
