Get a Grip and Get Real
In the name of God in heaven what is happening? Our elected representatives took a vote and sent our sons and daughters to war. The issue of going to war was debated and they took a vote. They sent our sons and daughters to war. That is where the politicking should have stopped and a united effort to win that war should have begun. It didn't.
Instead we have an extremely ill-conceived and ill-concealed effort by politicians and bureaucrats to undermine a war that is bravely and courageously being fought by men much nobler than they regardless of how many medals these bloviating political jerks dangle in front of the cameras.
But politicians can't wreak havoc on their own. Oh no. If our media gave a rat's ass about the truth we would be getting daily reports about the real progress in Iraq and Afghanistan, not just a body count like it's some kind of score on a video game. They have justly earned the title "Enemedia" that's for sure. In fairness, let's include our local media, also, which parrots in print and on the air without question whatever the big guys feed them.
Any normal person with even a small portion of common sense understands the concept of propaganda. When you consistently berate, condemn and ridicule your own side, the enemy takes notice and is strengthened and encouraged. Why? Because you have shown your weakness. All they have to do is hold out long enough and they believe we will cut and run.
Look what Sen. John Kerry's words and actions did to POW's and Viet Nam Vets. Mr. Jim Webb Jr. used to understand that. Kerry once again falsely accuses our Troops in REAL time and is enthusiastically embraced by Webb. What the heck is that? What happened? Politics happened. John Murtha, too, has turned on his own. They cry and whine "You can't criticize me! I'm a veteran! You haven't earned the right to criticize me!"
Whoa up there boys! I earned the right to criticize you the day I was born. I'm an American citizen and just like you I have the same THE SAME right to free speech. It isn't earned, it is a right. Unlike you bozos, I realize that there are consequences to my speech and actions and unlike you, I will accept responsiblity for them. If you can't handle that, exit stage left to China, Viet Nam or Cuba where they gleefully suppress dissent and torture is always an option.
Your words and actions put our Troops in harm's way. That is a fact no matter what motives you attribute to yourselves. If you can't see that it's because your ocular nerves are being compressed by hugely inflated egos constrained by your undersized craniums.
And by the way, this isn't about your patriotism as it is clear our definitions are not the same. I, for one, am questioning your motives, reasoning and at this point, your sanity.
There is a new game now brought about in part by the machinations of politicians, media and military bureaucrats. They are ruining honorable Marines and Corpsmen. They are ruining their reputations and bankrupting their families to prove what? That insurgents can make accusations and they must be listened to.
Look at what they've done to the Haditha Marines, the Hamdaniya Marines and others. All on hearsay. All to be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. This is already having an effect on the ground in Iraq and will inevitably result in the loss of more American lives.
This Independence Day let us pray for our Troops deprived of their Freedom that they and their families will continue to find strength and comfort through the grace of God and that Justice will roll down like a mighty river. And let us get down on our knees and thank Him for all the good decent men and women in our Armed Forces who serve us so courageously and so well.
Here is a link to a video of a huge rally at the gates of Camp Pendleton and a Grandfather supporting his Grandson.
