He is a SFC currently in Iraq and
he is fed up with all the 'cut and run' talk he is hearing in the media.
What frustrates me most of all is the number of Americans that are
rooting for us to lose. From media, to politicians and political
pundits, to folks who just have no clue but put on airs of knowing all,
there is a definite segment of the American population who genuinely
wants us to lose this war. The whole "it's a mistake" and "based on
lies" memes are just ridiculous and aren't based in reality, rather,
they are based on misguided dreams of what life should be like. I hate
to burst any bubbles here, but war is a part of life, and when bad
people do bad things, war just might be the best way to stop them. War
just might be the best way to free millions of people from oppressive
dictatorship or repressive religious zealots. Especially when those
folks have either declared war on us, or have aided and abetted those
who are attacking us. I'll not list all the terrorist attacks of the
last quarter century, that list is posted plenty of places, but I will
say that it is obvious that we've been drawn into a war with an enemy
that is too happy to kill innocents, to flaunt the accepted laws of
warfare, disregard the conventions and treaties protecting
non-combatants and will just as soon kill a child as a Soldier.
My thanks to Matt at Blackfive.
