Chanting 'Build the Wall' while in Mexico.

Why does military shit like that always make me cry? It's because it's people taking an oath to give their lives to protect freedom.

Not the eagle-screeching truck-driving type, but basic principles, like separation of church and state, the right to free expression, the right to gather and petition. Those kind of freedoms.

The freedoms that separate this country from places where the security forces kick down your door at night and drag you away. Where the marketplace of ideas is stifled, leading to shitty "products." Where you're thrown off buildings for being gay, or an apostate, or whatever.

These aren't namby pamby ideas we're talking about. They're what separate being happy from being really, truly unhappy.

That's why I cry. Because these people take an oath to give their lives to protect that.
