Our Soldiers

I would like to believe that men and women go into the service to fight for freedom. Not just for our country but for others. I happen to believe this is true, otherwise, why, be in the service? It isn’t like we had a draft. Can’t be just for benefits, or a career, could it? That would sound selfish, and I give our military, more credit then that!

For those that have loved ones in the military, that are now gone, my heart goes out to you, and let it be known they didn’t die in vain. Those, of you, which have, lost a loved one and go on, in anger, spewing, out, against, others, and the war. You are all of a sudden, claming to be the victims! (Instead of giving out pride, for what your loved one believed in). Shame on you! Aren’t you doing a dishonor to them? Then you not only Dishonor them but you become a typical drama queen in self pity. Speak of them proudly, and be proud, of them. This wasn’t about YOU! It was “them” trying to get a better life for someone else.

We need to back these Soldiers and not ridicule them or go on to disagree. (That is a freedom by the way), however it can be taken away if it wasn’t for our brave men, and women, in the military. Kudos to them for a job well done, in fighting terrorism!

If a draft does come about, I hope that these people that disagree have a different point of view by then, about the importance, of freedom, and what it means.
