You have some valid points. But your point about an American representing this country in arms does have many similarities and Americans representing themselves in sport or game for the USA. One of the most obvious similarities is that they both wear an American Flag as a symbol on their body to distinguish them from the people they are up against. I could go on with a list of dozens of other similarities as well if you would like to hear them, just ask, I have them ready to roll.

The Olympics Games were founded on the basis of manuevers, tactics and weapons of the Greek and Roman Military. The javelin, the discus, the hammer and chain, the pole vault and many others were all military games converted into sport. My point being that "games of the civilian world" are much in fact very much like those in the military, you can easily compare the two. These military games are still in use today in the modern Olympics.

Now if you tell me you can't compare the Olympics to F3A, that's just a load of crap. Sport is sport, whether it's played on a chess board or a football field. Go play linebacker against top rated offense and see how close sport can compare to war.

Also there are people in this thread that are in fact not only against people playing in our sport, but are predjudice against immigrants fighting in our military. Luckily you at least show that you respect the legal immigrants half as much as some people.

And I too have proudly served in the military as well.
