Most of you who know me KNOW that I don't normally give my opinions about things unless asked. Mainly because I see no reason to cram my opinions (you know what they say about them) down anyone elses throat. However, I heard something on the news this morning that should not and did not surprise me, but did disturb me.
They found the 2 young soldiers in Iraq that were missing. Beheaded, tortured. Now, in the same breath, the morning news anchor brought up how terrible those american soldiers were that had the prisoners of war...you know...those suspects we had locked up. Apparently those soldiers made the prisoners feel humiliated. BooHoo! They are in prison, it's not supposed to be FUN! It's not like we are beheading them!
And what about this nutcase that is picketing military funerals!! DUDE!!! You better stay the hell away from me and my family. I understand and support freedom of the press and freedom of speach but COME ON!!! Haven't these families suffered enough pain. How are you helping anything??? If you are not part of the solution you ARE part of the PROBLEM.
I'm not sure what makes some people think war is a pretty thing. Perhaps these people don't understand what it is like to have a husband and most of your friends closely related if not IN or retired from Militarty service.
I don't CARE if you don't think we should be there or not and I won't even go into my opinion on THAT one. BUT I do care about those men and women over there and you should too. Those are the people that keep your country safe and free. Stop arguing whether or not we should be there and open your hearts to the soldiers and thier families. Stop dwelling on all the negative things that have happened there and think about the stuff you DON'T see in the news...the good and honest things those men and women do.
Godspeed.
