Perhaps, except for the small fact that none of our founding fathers were soldiers, minus one of coarse; being George Washington. I know its unbarable, but our Constitution was signed by those who you just listed so confidently as those who have not brought us freedom. I know its hard to believe, but it was signed by a pen, not the end of a rifle. Similarily, Democracy can not be brought upon by force, but only though peaceful means; for proof of this you need look no further than modern day Iraq.

I know its too comfortable to your whole chauvanistic and militaristic outlook on our country to believe this crap, but its just the simple fact that our soldiers are there to preserve our freedoms from foreign and domestic attack. True they played their part in the founding of our country, and in fact without them we would not be independent, but they didn't bring us freedom. They brought us independence, but for freedom and rights, you will need a collection of lawyers, judges, poets, scientists, physicians, and business men to give us our rights. Otherwise it would just be a military dictatorship. And I find it ironic that you would claim "the agitator" does not give us freedom; when, our bloody quest for independence and freedom from the thrown of England was an agitation.
