As I was browsing through profiles earlier, I ran across a very pretty girl that was talking about how the government is our enemy and the war is unnecessary and that all we’re doing is killing our troops. I am getting so tired of listening to these self-proclaimed “Mr. Know-It-Alls” telling us how our country is worthless and is the worst country in the world, yet for whatever reason, they want to stay here. Canada is a few miles north, folks, and if you drive far enough south, you can take up residency in Mexico. You have options.
I find it a little funny that the only people not bitching and moaning about the war are the ones brave enough to fight for the country that they love. I forget sometimes, but the military is still voluntary, right? I mean, did we re-instate the draft and no one knows about it? As far as all these people talking about the government not doing its job, I can only ask one question for you…Since September 11, 2001, how many times have innocent Americans been attacked and killed on American soil? Oh, zero? That’s right, sounds to me like their doing exactly what they’re supposed to be doing…protecting your right to bitch and moan about things you don’t understand. Do you recall the last time a lunatic walked into the deli where you were having lunch and exploded? Happens all the time across the sea, and its that kind of thing we’re attempting to prevent. “But they’re killing our soldiers!” I agree, but you know who they’re not killing? Our civilians. Our soldiers are told there may be risk upon signing up, our plane passengers shouldn’t have to be warned that their plane may be driven into the side of a building. People who are just working to support their wives, husbands, kids, moms and dads, etc. were never warned that a plane may land in their office on the 60th floor and that they would be instantly burned alive.
This is why we continue to fight. Not only so we don’t have to worry about these kinds of attacks, but so our allies and friends in other countries might be able to live and have the opportunity to support their own families. Understand this, I am not a government supporter so much as I am a military supporter. And people with this sort of attitude toward the war are seriously tying our hands and keeping us from accomplishing our goals. If we can’t kill, or we can’t torture, then we can’t win. That’s fairly simple. If we, as civilians would have just shut our traps and let the military and government do what they need to do, this war would have been over a long time ago, terrorism would be at a minimal and families would be together today. I have a solution, but you’ll have to wait for the next blog for it.
