Can I say this?
I'm sad tonight. It's been awhile since I've felt this bad.. But I am DUMBFOUNDED, STUPEFIED, at how we are being asked to tip-toe around Muslims, not all, but some? WHICH ONES?!!!
When my son first enlisted, we agreed to disagree. Oh... we both felt the war in Iraq was a mistake, but he strongly felt he had the skill, and level headedness to help those young men of his generation, that were already there, as well as help protect us, here, from the inevitable...I didn't want him in the Armed forces, but I respect his choice. He's a fine man. Believe me when I say, parental prejudice aside, we all have, at least, one fine human being, looking out for us.
People asked me, "How do you sleep?". You don't, at first. But you learn to sleep, and eat, and breath... And after a while you learn to live, love, and laugh...More deeply than you ever have in your whole life.
Every time I see, in the news, a young man, on his knees, in an orange jump suit...
I could just smack those, " Refugees Welcome" people silly!
You want to feel good about yourselves. You want to be charitable? You want to bring some comfort to someone who's life is on the line?
Send a piece of mail to a GI. Christmas card... A good luck charm, a post card, a note even..
I don't post to offend anyone. But if you don't want to face reality, good luck to you, when reality is in your face.
