If I must.

I object to the use of the word "only" in the statement.
Why?

Becaus a soldier defends his/hers nations borders and interests, not his/hers peoples freedomes.

It is ridiculous.
Is not defending that nation's borders are interests include defending the people's freedoms? Is that not a national interest?

No it is not. Pursuing national interests often result in limitations in the individuals freedomes. Take the U.S for example. A millitary state is the direct oposite of a free society.
The highest national interest is freedoms in any country. That's why we have the Chart of Rights and freedoms, that's why we have the Supreme Court. The soldiers defend that.

That's odd. I don't seem to remember Bush ever mentioning freedomes above security in his "national interest" speeches? Care to explain?

You'd have to be on crack to think the US is a "military state."

I don't think it is and I never said it was.
I was trying to save some time by not elaborating. I was stressed out as hell. My GF's birthday yesterday and was in a hurry.

It has to be mentioned? It's a given. What do you think British and French troops were fighting for in the second world war? Their freedom.

I find it funny that the government has to say it is a national interest for you to think it is. The same government you accuse of orchestrating 9/11. WTF is wrong with that?

The French and the Britts faught for their nations sovereignty. What it's government choose to do with it is another matter.

A nations wealth, sovereignty, power and the land it posses is not due to the freedome of it's people. Total freedome for the people would mean that the nation itself would be dissolved. The more freedome the people is given, the weaker the nation. A nation is a whole. It's a body made out of it's people and it's possetions, such as land.

I thought you were a big Bush fan? Do you now think that what Bush is doing to the people of the U.S, in terms of limiting it's peoples freedomes in exchange for "security", is wrong?
