Wow! Another amazingly opinionated poem.. which I respect a ton! This poem was full of opinions. I agree with the beginning when you said that we don't really do anything, all we do is protest. We don't really appreicate what the troops do for us! Well, some do.. but I mean, like you said.. What do we give back? They risk our lives, and all we do is complain and don't really do anything. This poem is extremely opinionated but you know what.. I love that.. because nobody really appreicates what the troops do for us.. We just sit on our butts and watch it all happen. I love the topic of war.. It's got to be the easiest to write about.. because you can be just as opinionated as you were. I love this poem. I probably make no sense above, but I think you know this is a 5/5, because I can't take your opinion away from you.. whether the poem is poetic or not! =)

I agree with your premise that MOST Americans are pathetic, this may also have to do with being a 20 year vet.
Okay your write... I have trouble with this form and had a lot of trouble finding your metre/rhythm in this write(poetry must have rhythm).
Your rhyme scheme is all over the place, is there a scheme?
As I said this should be told daily especially to the so called NEWS stations as they cause much of the problem with the citizens.
As always an opinion.
