Too funny! I dig all Star Wars humor.

Thanks Rusty but, as soon as I realized it was from You Tube, I closed it. A couple of weeks ago, it came to light that You Tube, (Owned by Google) was allowing terrorists to post videos of American servicemen being murdered. You Tube and parent Google refused to remove all of the videos because it would infringe on the freedom of speech for terrorists. As a result, Google (my former favorite search engine) and You Tube are not allowed on our computers. I've since heard that You Tube pulled MOST of the videos but not all of them. IMHO, I don't think they should have been allowed to stay at all. I know it might be hard to police some of the postings but when they refuse to remove them after it has come to light; I have no use for them.

Before Google came along, I always used Yahoo and that is what I'm using again. Surprisingly, I have not missed Google at all. I do miss some of the really funny videos I've seen on You Tube but if they can't support the United States of America, they are certainly not welcome in my home.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you can't post these things, it is merely a personal decision I have made with support from of my family. The Air Force uses Google and I'm pushing to have them eliminate Google as well. I doubt it will happen but, you never know.

I respectfully endorse a different point-of-view. I give myself latitude in doing this because I had 34 years of military service, sworn to "Support and defend the Constitution..."

While I'm in agreement that the posts to which towerguy refers are repugnant, repulsive, and disgusting, (as are those showing flag-burnings and the like), it has always been my position that my oath to "Support and defend the Constitution" bound me to defend (but not endorse) the rights of even the lowest lifeforms, without imposing my mores on that expression.

The right of free speech imposes on those of us who've been duty-bound to defend it the commitment of enduring those who express it in ways we find nauseating. But that's the nature of the obligation I willingly accepted on July 5, 1960...and from which, though retired, still having my Commission, I have not been released.

I concur with Rusty. My obligation, also willingly undertaken, predates his by 14 years.

To olroy and Rusty,
Ya are old!!! I didn't go in until 1962. Just a kid.
