When we think about wars and what we are fighting for, as Americans we tend to say that we are fighting to freedom. But if you think about it if another country is considered "more free" than another than shouldn't you be fighting for them if you are fighting for freedom? For example if you were to fight for the Afghan villagers against the U.S that are trying to suppress them but you are for the U.S and they are claiming to be fighting for their freedom, no one would say that you are fighting for the U.S even though the U.S claims that they are fighting for freedom. If we could judge out of all the countries are more free than the others, and it turns out the be Canada, should we all start fighting for Canada because they are now represent what are fighting for more than what America is. But we could never tell our soldiers that because than they would know that we really have no idea what we are trying to fight for or who we are trying to save.
