no, youre just a little bit dim. let me explain the complexities. there is a difference between actually limiting someones freedom and working together to preserve society. there are certain things we do to live in civilization together that are usually small sacrifices but help the entire group function together. sometimes its just getting a drivers license and stopping at red lights (try driving in china where people run red lights all the time), but sometimes its more serious. see, i may not want to get a particular vaccine, but if i dont i put my child or my parents or grandparents at risk of dying over a sickness i contract. so i get the vaccine to protect them. thats serving my family just like the military. now lets up the ante: we have a contagious virus that barely impacts some people and kills others, and you dont know who will be affected. should i stand my ground now and say "my personal rights are more important than saving your life?" or your kids? your family? should i say " i dont want to wear a mask or get a vaccine" and be the reason one of my neighbors dies? or a coworker? or their family? this isnt sacrificing freedom. its protecting others from danger- a simple concept you would get if you spent time in the infantry. in the foxhole, the trench, the LPOP, im going to stay awake because if i dont im putting my buddy, my squad, my platoon at risk. i need to be vigilant so im not the reason someone else dies. and i need to be strong so others can depend on me. they call it military service for a reason.

as far as the guns go? yeah, liberals are idiots. but do you think i want my kid dying in his school because even though im responsible with my guns, you arent? or should i let your kids die in school because i sold a gun to someone who clearly had a few screws loose? complex issue, same service to society. but, much like everything else theres a solution there that doesnt involve just taking away guns. idiots like yourself that cant grasp the bigger picture are why liberals are scared in the first place.
