For most you...getting to know someone is a great thing. I am offering you to get to know me by showing videos, and sharing songs that enrich life. This is no exception....To some of you...I might offend you...if I did, suck it up....if I don't, and you agree maybe just maybe I'll touch something deep in you, or light a fire that will make you lead a movement, or help someone else. I don't know...I explain things better when I write them out...blogz are off the top of my head. There are things that I've seen and places I've been that could never be replaced, again, this isn't to push anyone to one side or another, it's simply just me feeling out things, and expressing them. With that said....
To most of you, you will never understand what it's like to go without a loved one....or not be there for that special moment, or even yet for that special event. However, no matter the cause there has always been a soldier there watching that wall to make sure that when we lay down to sleep at night, nothing comes over that wall and hurt us. Sometimes that requires time away from home, time away from family, loved ones, and missing things that we wouldn't want to miss. I understand that, maybe all too well. To date I've missed times with my friends, and their family because my friend is watching that wall. I will never forget those that have fallen, I will never forget those that have been injuried, I will never forget those that served this greatful nation, only to have it turn their back on them. Yes it does happen, however...with this war...our soldier's are welcomed home, not spit upon, or called baby killers. War is war, it always will be, there's nothing pretty about it, I will not show you the pics of those that have been killed...injuried....or otherwise harmed by this war. What I will show you is that there are families greaving those that have been killed, those that are loved ones. I don't understand why the general public cannot seem to realize what is going on. I will agree with you on some parts....this war should've never been fought....I agree, but I can't hold what some stupid assed president does against our troopz. He done this because his father couldn't, that's what it boils down to. I dislike both of them...however congress has finally pulled their head out of their ass and seen the light, the effort better make major progress, or they are going to pull them out, and bring'em home! I hope that's the case, not that I don't think that we can't, or aren't doing it right...for reasons of own personal greed mor or less.
Speaking of that...my friend Chris has served damn near 3 tours over there. His wife Denise and their kids have hardly seen him. He's missed birthdays, holidays, and his baby's first steps. To me that upsets me....I love my friend, and I am thankful for all he's done! He is by far one of the strongest people I know. Maybe my own greed wants him home, where he's safe, where he can be there, and know that someone else is watching over him. Anymore, I don't know what to think. I see things...I feel things...things that bother me..things that hurt me, upset me, but I know it's for the better. It's like Mr. Trump said...the war has became a mess, it's time to bring them home. And I totally agree. We are forcing a government on people...and in a place that has been at war with its self for hundreds of years, and what Bush thinks he can stop that?? He's an idiot, I think he should've been impeached for lying about the real reason before....and still not finding anything. Yeah wake up there was no WMD in Iraq, it was a coverup to make it all better in the press. Kinda like the Pat Tillman story, which really pissed me off. But this is me just firing off because I can, and I can vent. I hate to know that people in other nations are afraid of us because we will bomb them if they aren't....that doesn't say much for us....we should be spending that money that we are spending on the war to improve THIS country....to improve the lives of those here...not in some place like Iraq. We have a growing epidemic here...it's called homelessness, over 50% of those homeless people are vets, is that the way we should treat those who gave for us? I don't think so...I'm hoping that when a new president comes in...whoever it might be...will impliment universal healthcare for EVERYONE! That means that we can be like Canada and have that. Maybe then the American Family won't be living paycheck to paycheck. Maybe that'll help those that are homeless....just maybe it's the greatest thing they can do? I honestly don't have all the answers...I wish like hell I did, but I don't. I just wish things would change. Maybe if things changed...the world would look at us differently. I don't know. If you've read this, thanks...I know it's hard to keep track of, but it's me just talking off the top of my head. Take it for what it's worth. ~~MATT~~
