I believe he used the word "privileged" and not "proud".


He said "I'm just proud to be an American" near the end of his speech. I would say that a Green Beret who has been fighting for us has earned the right to say that without someone saying it sounds stupid.

I didn't accomplish being an American, why the hell would I be proud of it?


No you probably haven't done anything, but he has.

He has the right to say whatever he wants. I have the right to think it is silly.

Why wouldn't he say he is proud of his excellent service? Proud of his bronze star? Making the UT roster? You know, things he actually accomplished?

Wow...kinda hostile aren't we?

I never said he hadn't accomplished anything. But he didn't say anything about being proud of that stuff. He said that he was proud of something he didn't cause.

Sorry if that somehow hurts your feelings.
