Today I sat and watched the news for hours as a hostage standoff went on in Colorado yet again. There is a fight between muslims and christians.... and everyone asks for a maricle. How can we sit and say that we are fighting a war on terror when we can't even protect our own children.
I was sitting down with my family the other night having a discussion about the reasons that we are over in Iraq. It is funny that I see things in a completely different light, then my family. Maybe it is because I am one of the ones that stands behind the weapon, that I serve my country.
Listen this is for all those that have never served their country. We, The Soldiers, are doing what it is that we are trained to do. We signed a contract to serve, even unto death, this country, its freedoms, and yes even our President. I know that many do not agree with decisions made by our government, but think about the position that the President, Congress, Senate, even the Leaders of our Armed Services are in. Maybe you can sleep at night, but there are many that do not because we have a job to serve and protect you, reguardless of the thanks we get if any.
PEOPLE I AM PROUD TO BE A SOLDIER, A VETERAN, AN AMERICAN.
My friends and I fight so that you can sit and complain, well guess what I AM DONE LISTENING. NO MORE WILL I SIT AND LISTEN TO COMPLAINING ON WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG WITH THIS PLACE OR ANY OTHER. Maybe I don't agree with every decision made, but I proudly stand behind my Country, The Military, and the President.
Even though there is hatred in the world, the only way to fix it is not by arguing. YOU MUST HAVE AN OPEN MIND AND AN OPEN HEART, QUIT JUDGING BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS. TAKE CARE OF YOUR ISSUES BEFORE YOU JUMP INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S BUSINESS...
