I don't wave flags on my house or car, or wear one on my sleeve, or feel I need to ... I know who I am and where I come from and I don't happen to be one who thinks it is all perfect and wonderful there, or without need of some "tuning up", but while I go hunt for my 2 x 4 'tuner', you may find the clip below is worth some time from your busy day.
I saw some of these kids/young men and women in Afghanistan, loaded down with firepower and ammunition so you'd think they could hardly stand up. I saw their gutted-out camo-painted HumVees with a .50 cal. on the roof and our own embassy sand-bagged and with gun emplacements on the roof, and arrays of barriers to keep suicidal fanatics from crashing into the compound.

Take a couple minutes and give it a run, it is worth the effort...and, obviously, you'll want your sound turned up enough to hear it.
