What is a Citizen's Responsibility?

Good read over at Corked Bats.

This is from Heather Gladney commenting at Taking the Fight to Karl. She wanted to give some feedback, but did not want to post on the front page because she is not a veteran. Listen to what she says:

I have been posting links about the outrages going on for over two years now, stating as firmly as I know how that while it is a soldier's job to obey orders, it is a "citizen's" job to ask very tough questions of a government, and to insist on getting answers, and holding those responsible accountable for their wrongdoing and fraud--I regard it as the job of folks back home to demand why they want to cut back on veteran's benefits just when they are most needed, why there isn't enough armor, why the supply problems, why the shoddy command structure happened at Abu Ghraib, on and on. But we, too, are being dismissed as irrelevant.

Sounds about right. They take advantage of ignorance and actually try to encourage it. Bush hasn't gone to a funeral for a soldier yet. He hasn't called our country to service. He HAS told us to buy lots of stuff and be VERY afraid for lots of "reasons" that don't hold up to any scrutiny beyond the reasoning powers of our favorite "lawyer" Ann Coulter. Who does he respect and who does he wish to include in our country? It is a fair question.
