While I don't think the American GI has anything on Jesus Christ, you really can't compare the two except on this one issue, I think this is a very interesting perspective on America and its people.

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in ... And how many want out."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

If you want to pass this on I think it would be appropriate, as many seem to forget BOTH of them.
