I see that exactly as one of the major flaws within America's society today. Being that American's are not proud. If individuals will not stand up for what our original founders wanted us to represent, then why do people continue to flock here? Why do individuals stay here? America is about freedom. I see opportunity after opportunity, I was fortunate enough to be one of the first few generations of my family to be born here, and I would die for her. She provides so much to so many, yet so many will not provide for her. I think they need to have an emphasis in the new draft write up that ALL Americans holding citizenship will be drafted.
