Do you realize we used to have american presidents who fought for our country? Seriously they fought and sacrificed and were basically bad asses...

Man it's almost like you could go on and on and on...

What the fuck happened to us?

They taught us this in history classes. JFK was the one i remember when he ran for the pres, all his heroics coming out. You know, Cliff Robertson who portrayed him in PT109 just passed.
You left out G. Washington, Andy Jackson, US Grant to add a few others.

As to what happened to us, IMHO.
The media morphing into the web. America does not mind soldiers doing what is necessary to keep them free.
They do however freak when the killing is in real time.
The "enemy" went from a defined group to enemy combatants who don't wear uniforms, have US Attorneys and politicians tell us they are entitled to the same constitutional protection as US Citizens do. Yet the same bleeding hearts feel we should do away with guns, for the good of the people.

That's exactly what is, history. Studs like Tommy Franks and Norman Schwarzkopf could never be elected because they weren't ticket-punchers, they were warriors. Instead we get Wesley Clark.

Teddy Roosevelt was a bonified badass too...

Amen

I was about to say, regardless of what you think of his policies, Teddy Roosevelt was the manliest President this nation ever had.

If I could have dinner with any person, living or dead. It'd be him. And then I'd fight him, so I could say I had dinner with and got my ass kicked by Teddy Roosevelt.

Andrew Fucking Jackson: Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Seminole War he fought because he had to and because he was good at it and he freaking liked it. 7 and 0 in duels. Battle of New Orleans British casualties:2037 American:71.

Enjoy the ass whipping limey assholes

Actual picture of Jackson; as you can clearly see his horse has cast iron balls too
